The deleted Jitterbug scene was originally part of a sub-plot in the Wizard of Oz involving two characters named the Grand Duke of Oz and Princess Betty. The song was composed by E. Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen to show off Judy Garland's jazzy style of singing. The sub-plot did not survive, but the song made it further, only to be cut in early previews of the film. Look for a rough film of the song & dance on YouTube.
'The Jitterbug' is the dance that's in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. It isn't in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. One of the reasons lies in its not being around at the time that Frank Lyman [May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919] wrote the first of his Royal Histories of Oz.
The music 'The Jitterbug's Attack' heralded the sinister appearance and activities of the Wicked Witch's familiars, the Winged Monkeys. In the 1939 movie version of 'The Wizard of Oz', the flying monkeys appeared between the scenes in the enchanted forest and the Wicked Witch's castle. The music became quite ominous with the arrival of the winged monkeys. The scene was one of menacing moments made all the more so by the menacing sounds of the music.
I believe they are in the smithsonian institute!
