This song, unlike "The Girl From Ipanema" whose Portuguese name is not nearly as well known as its English name, is best known both in Portuguese and in English as "Desafinado", and its English name is not well-known or commonly used. Jobim's 1963 U.S. LP The Composer of Desafinado, Plays uses the Portugese name in the title, implying that the title "Desafinado" could possibly be more familiar than even Jobim's name. It is called "Desafinado" on albums by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, George Michael, Julie London, Kenny G, and Stan Getz, and some of these (Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London) even are sung with English lyrics. I have therefore moved this page to the title "Desafinado". Nohat 03:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- I would challenge the assertion that "its English name is not well-known or commonly used." (See [1]) While I have no personal objection to listing the song under its Portuguese name, the English name is certainly important enough to mention! -- BRG 18:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
