The Oscar-winning song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" inspired Paul Williams to write a very similar song, "The Rainbow Connection", for Ecco il film dei Muppet (1979). Both are wish-fulfillment songs sung by the hero at the beginning which sets up the vision quest later in the story. Rainbow Connection has a similar cult following and was nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar as well. Mash-ups of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "The Rainbow Connection" can be found on websites like YouTube.
