Hey, Look Me Over (song)

In that show, it was introduced by Lucille Ball, in her only leading Broadway appearance.

During a brainstorming session, Coleman played one of his ideas on piano, doubtful it would work as a star vehicle.

Leigh surprised him by calling back a few days later with a funny (incomplete) lyric for his melody.

[2] Ball and co-star Paula Stewart performed the song live on The Ed Sullivan Show, and it was subsequently recorded and/or performed by, among others, Louis Armstrong,[3] Judy Garland,[4] Rosemary Clooney,[5] Bing Crosby,[6] Peggy Lee, Johnny Mathis, Bobby Short, Gene Krupa,[7] Mel Tormé, Jerry Vale, Julie Wilson, Lucie Arnaz, the Pete King Chorale, and British singer Ronnie Hilton.

The melody of 'Hey Look Me Over' was used as a campaign song for Ted Kennedy's 1962 special election senate campaign,[8] the singer of which is unknown but is highly believed to be Mitch Miller.
