You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby

You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby was written in 1938 by Harry Warren and Johnny Mercer. As much as I love this song, I still marvel that there was a time when no one thought twice to write lyrics about a kindergartner who ‘drove the little boys wild.’ Yikes!

If you’re wondering who the babies/actresses are in the video, they are, in order: Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, Veronica Lake, Margaret O'Brien, Shirley Temple, Heddy Lamar, and Rita Hayworth.

Be sure to stay to the end where there’s a really great TV clip from 1963 of Perry Como and Dinah Shore really having fun with the song.
