I Want It Now/Oompa Loompa

The song "I Want It Now/Oompa Loompa" from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a vivid depoction of Veruca Salt's greed and entitlement contrasted with the Oompa Loompas' moral lessons. Veruca's part of the song encapsulates her insatiable desire for immediate gratification and material possessions, highlighting her character flaw of greediness. She demands everything from golden geese to parties with pink macaroons, showcasing a child's wild fantasies and the consequences of unchecked desire. This is starkly juxtaposed with the Oompa Loompas' song, which serves as a cautionary tale against spoiling children, blaming not the children but their parents for such behavior​​.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, released in 1971, became a classic film known for its imafinative storytelling and moral lessons. Despite its initial mixed financial success, the film grew in popularity over the years, earning a place in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The musical numbers, written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, and the orchestral score arranged by Walter Scharf, contribute significantly to the movie's charm and its moral messages​​.

Roald Dahl, the author of the original book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, wrote the screenplay for the film but was unhappy with certain adaptations and changes made by the director and David Seltzer, who did an uncredited rewrite. Despite Dahl's reservations, the film has become beloved for its whimsical yet profound exploration of human virtues and vices, as well as the unforgettable characters brought to life by a talented cast​​.
