Jane Powell( Suzanne Lorraine Burce ) It's A Most Unusual Day
Lyricist：Harold Adamson, Jimmy Mchugh
It's a most unusual day
Feel like throwing my worries away
As an old native-born Californian would say
It's a most unusual day
There's a most unusual sky
Not a sign of a cloud passing by
And if I want to sing, throw my heart in the ring
It's a most unusual day

There are people meeting people
There is sunshine everywhere
There are people greeting people
And a feeling of Spring in the air
It's a most unusual time
I keep feeling my temperature climb
If my heart won't behave in the usual way
Well, there's only one thing to say
It's a most unusual, most unusual, most unusual day
It's a most unusual day
Feel like throwing my worries away
As an old native-born Californian would say
It's a most unusual day
There's a most unusual sky
Not a sign of a cloud passing by
And if I want to sing, throw my heart in the ring
It's a most unusual day
There are people meeting people
There is sunshine
everywhere
There are people greeting people
And a feeling of Spring in the air
It's a most unusual time
I keep feeling my temperature climb
If my heart won't behave in the usual way
Well, there's only one thing to say
It's a most unusual, most unusual, most unusual day
"It's a Most Unusual Day" is a popular song composed by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Harold Adamson. It is considered part of the Great American Songbook. It was introduced in the film, A Date With Judy, when it was sung by Jane Powell in the opening scene with the school orchestra, and is later sung in the film by Elizabeth Taylor (dubbed by Jean McLaren) and in the finale in an ensemble.[1]
Beverly Kenney recorded "It's a Most Unusual Day" in 1957 for her album, Beverly Kenney Sings for Playboys. [2] The song was used as the jingle for a Lincoln commercial in late 2021.[3]
