In this track, however, what little sweetness there is comes from the sounds of nature in the background, while the robotic voice lets the listener know that some imaginations are alien to the rest of the world.

It’s almost an inverse of the movie version, which featured short sections of creepy notes, but was mostly a celebration of the purity of the power of the mind, thanks to the sweetness of Wilder’s vocals. This cut from Buckethead‘s Giant Robot album cranks up the weirdness present in the background of the original. Buckethead – Pure Imagination (Gene Wilder cover) Instead of whimsy with just a hint of darkness, this is a recording to put on when you want to dance slowly with someone you love. You can almost float away on Hori’s playing. It’s a tribute such a wonderful piece of music that it loses none of its power when the words are taken away. Jazz pianist Hideaki Hori delivers a beautiful instrumental version of the song, letting the melody stand on its own. Hideaki Hori – Pure Imagination (Gene Wilder cover)
Here are five great takes on this film classic. Dozens of artists have taken a stab at it.
There are so many layers in the original that almost any direction can be taken with a cover version. It’s also a brief look into the mind of character whose mind works differently than that of the rest of us. It’s Willy Wonka’s invitation to come join him in a world that’s different from the humdrum reality that Charlie Bucket has grown up with. It’s that original dichotomy that makes “Pure Imagination” such a perfect song for interpretation. It’s as if the song is meant to celebrate the best of what the human mind can come up with while still hinting at darker corners.

The Pure Imagination Project was developed pro bono by a creative team at MullenLowe’s Winston-Salem office, all of whose families have been touched by Alzheimer’s disease. Reflecting the creativity and charm of Wonka, the new video features the famous ‘Pure Imagination’ scene from ‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,’ but reinterprets the magical, candy-filled world with the sweets disappearing piece by piece, much like Alzheimer’s as it takes people’s imagination piece by piece for five million Americans across the country. The Alzheimer’s Association has unveiled the Pure Imagination Project, a campaign encouraging people to learn more about the disease and join the efforts to fulfill the organization’s vision of a world without Alzheimer’s. Gene Wilder’s beloved portrayal of Willy Wonka has returned in honor of National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month to promote awareness of the disease that took him from us in 2016.
