"I Wished on the Moon" is a song composed by Ralph Rainger, with lyrics by Dorothy Parker. Bing Crosby sang the song in The Big Broadcast of 1936.

Crosby recorded the song on August 14, 1935[1] with The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra and it reached the charts of the day peaking at No. 2 during a seven-week stay.[2] At the end of the long recording session, Crosby decided to sing only a single chorus of the song in the middle of an orchestral version instead of the full ballad treatment used in the film. This led to a long argument between the singer and producer Jack Kapp. Eventually Crosby prevailed.[3]
Crosby recorded the song again in 1954 for his album Bing: A Musical Autobiography.

Little Jack Little recorded the song for Columbia (catalog 3068) on June 28, 1935,[4] and also enjoyed chart success with the song in 1935 reaching the No. 13 spot.[5] Ruth Etting also recorded the song for Columbia (3070) on July 1, 1935.
