Get Happy was a 1973 TV special, hosted by Jack Lemmon, which was made to pay tribute to composer Harold Arlen. In a Wizard of Oz-like spoof, the show starts out with everything in black and white and with Jack Lemmon getting knocked out by a broom and when he wakes up everything is in color. Jack discovers that he is in Arlenland and begins a journey to find Harold Arlen. Along the way Jack runs into Diahann Carroll, Johnny Mathis, Dinah Shore, Cass Elliot, and Doc Severinsen who each performs a Harold Arlen song. In the end, Jack finds Harold Arlen and the show ends with the Arlen classic song "Over the Rainbow. "
