Let's Misbehave

"Let's Misbehave" is a famous song written by Cole Porter in 1927, originally intended for the female lead of his first major production, Paris. Although it was discarded before the Broadway opening in favor of Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love, the star of the Broadway production, Irene Bordoni, did a phonograph recording of it which was labelled as from the production of Paris. It was included perhaps most famously in the 1962 revival of Anything Goes.

It was used in two Woody Allen films: at the opening and close of the 1972 film Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask), and at the close of the 1994 film Bullets Over Broadway. The song is featured in a prominent dance sequence by Christopher Walken in the Steve Martin musical Pennies From Heaven (1981).

It is credited on the VHS home video release of Johnny Dangerously (1984), and sung by Elvis Costello in the 2004 movie De-Lovely.

The song is featured (sung by Cybill Shepherd) in the 1975 film At Long Last Love and in the 2008 film Easy Virtue, and the title is one of the film's taglines.

Cole Porter's original version was also featured on The Simpsons Season 15, Episode 15, entitled "Co-Dependent's Day".
