I Wanna Be Loved by You

I Wanna Be Loved by You

"I Wanna Be Loved by You" is a song written by Herbert Stothart and Harry Ruby, with lyrics by Bert Kalmar, for the 1928 musical "Good Boy"(1).It was chosen as one of the Songs of the Century in a survey made by the RIAA where 200 people responded (out of 1300 asked). It is known as one of Marilyn Monroe's most famous musical performances when she sang it in Billy Wilder's classic farce "Some Like It Hot."

Steven Blier states that the song "was introduced in 1928 by Helen Kane, who became known as the 'Boop-Boop-a-Doop Girl' because of her baby-talk, scat-singing tag line to that song. Two years later, a cartoon character named Betty Boop was modeled after her — and the rest is history(2)."

The song has also been performed by Frank Sinatra, Rhonda Towns, Rose Murphy, Tina Louise, Verka Serduchka, and Patricia Kaas.
