Forget the weird Tim Burton adaptation with Johnny Depp channeling Michael Jackson, the only true adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the 1971 classic starring Gene Wilder. There are lots of iconic scenes and characters but one of the main things that has ingrained itself into pop culture is the music. The whole movie has been parodied numerous times and I think the Simpsons have done a twist on pretty much every song from the movie. Check out all of the classic songs below.
“The Candy Man Can”
“Cheer Up, Charlie”
“(I’ve Got A) Golden Ticket”
“Pure Imagination”
Oompa Loompa Songs
“I Want It Now!”
