"Optimistic Voices" is the song that is played during the poppy field scene in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, the name refers to both the song and the singing group. The singing group is made up of the individual singing groups known as The Debutantes and The Rhythmettes. The music is made available through the MGM orchestra.
No, you most likely wouldn't fall asleep just from being in a field of poppies like in 'The Wizard of Oz'. Poppies must be harvested. In areas where they're cultivated, they still may be harvested by more primitive means that leave harvesters unprotected from the elements. Traditionally, harvesters use manual means and aren't paid well. So traditionally they never are encouraged to sleep on the job!
A field of poppies causes Dorothy Gale to fall asleep in "The Wizard of Oz."The original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz" are quite different. Among the similarities is the incident in the poppy field, which is one of the events that the book presents and the movie version retains. But in the book Dorothy is rescued by her travelling companions, who get the gracious Queen of the Field Mice to remove the Cowardly Lion also. In the movie, Glinda causes snow to fall and thereby protects everyone from the somnolent dangers of the poppies.
It is by rescuing the Cowardly Lion from the poppy fieldthat the Queen of the Field Mice repays the Tin Woodman in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the Tin Woodman rescues the Queen from a big, hungry, yellow wildcat. The gracious Queen promises to help the Tinman in return some day. The day perhaps comes sooner than she expects when Dorothy, her pet dog Toto and the Lion fall asleep in the deadly poppy field. The Lion cannot be budged until the Queen gets all of her subjects to pull him out of the field and into safety.

The evil witch of the east and west, trees, evil poppy flowers

When Frank Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz, opium was legal. It is made from the poppy plant. The poppy is a beautiful flower. The poppy field is a place of beauty where Dorothy gets sidetracked from her goal of The Emerald City. The opium produced by poppies lead to sleep and death. The poppy field represents a warning about the dangers of getting sidetracked by something that looks extremely enticing because it could have a hidden danger.
in a battle field :D
because soldiers died in poppy fields so it soldiers that have died that is also why it is called remembrance day and why we have two minuets silents.
