The film's song, "Moon River," was to be called "Blue River" until lyricist Johnny Mercer remembered that there had already been an earlier song by that name written by a friend of his. So as not to alter the meter of his lyrics, he substituted "moon" for "blue," though he later regretted not replacing the adjective in the passage "my huckleberry friend" with one more relevant (deep blue-hued huckleberries being appropriately descriptive of a Blue River, but not a Moon River).
