Any of you ever heard this version? Artist is the huge Hawaiian Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

Thought you diehard SxDx fans might appreciate it...I love it!

Isn't the beginning of this version used in a commercial? They only use the beginning so I never realized it was over the rainbow.

Yeah, that song is used in a lot of commercials I think, and a lot of movies/tv shows. He also does a version of What a Wonderful World. I think it might be a medley actually.

Why exactly does everyone seem to like this crappy song by this guy, the royal crowns or judy garland for that matter?

Hey Coen, been watching arte on sunday evenening? This version of the song was played during the end credits of the movie "Finding Forrester" (with Sean Connery and with Busta Rhymes in a small supporting role). Beautiful...
