2 or 3

Hard to be definite, but many. Check allmusic.com for all that are currently available. Even Ray Stevens had a fine dramatic version. Download from paid or free sites. In US try Walmart downloads. I have 3 Judy Garland versions - 1) movie soundtrack 2) single hit at the time 3)later rerecording-50s? But not digital so can't share.

Somewhere over the rainbow - There were so many pop versions but also many dance, trance, pop, techno and rave versions. Many from the Europe cheese scene! I imagine there are over 100 oblished versions that you could get hold of.

You can also Add Tori Amos to the list above. I know there have been a ton. It's a very popular song to sing because it's classic.

impossible to tell really... i know tom waits did a good version. the most covered song in the world is apparently 'yesterday' by the beatles...

i only know the judy garland one and the girl who died before she was famous, get limewire free version and type the title in the search box and it will find everyone who sang it good luck xxx

No,but have never understood the second line..."Weigh a pie"..why would anybody want to weigh a pie?

judy garland (of course),50's/60's rocker gene vincent, matchbox(the rockabilly band),pj proby, to name a few.

Too many. Write your own tunes :)
