"Colors of the Wind," the Oscar-winning ballad from Disney's 1995 hit Pocahontas, is undeniably stirring — but if you actually listen to the lyrics, you might walk away a little puzzled. Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? Tell me what a blue corn moon is, and I'll let you know.
There's another person who's baffled by that lyric: Judy Kuhn, who sang "Colors of the Wind" for Pocahontas. "Actually, I have no idea what a blue corn moon is," said Kuhn in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I have always hoped someone could explain it to me."
As it turns out, there's a reason Kuhn has no idea what a "blue corn moon" is: lyricist Stephen Schwartz invented it. "I feel somewhat guilty to have to tell you that the phrase 'blue corn moon' has no actual meaning in Indian lore," wrote Schwartz in a Q&A with fans. "I made it up because I liked the sound of it."
