"Thank Heaven for Little Girls" is a 1957 song written by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe and associated with Maurice Chevalier, its original performer.
Alfred Drake performed the song in the 1973 Broadway stage production of Gigi, and in the 2015 revival, it was sung as a duet between Victoria Clark and Dee Hoty.
[2] It has been performed by Rosemary Clooney, Perry Como, Gérard Depardieu, Merle Haggard, Hugh Hefner, The King Brothers, Ed McMahon, Andy Griffith, Chet Baker, Vera Lynn, Les Brown, and in his faux French accent, Peter Sellers.
In the 1997 film Wag the Dog, the song performed by Chevalier is used as backdrop for an election campaign ad.
[3] In the mid-1990s, a contemporary take on the song was recorded by the Seattle-based alternative band Ruby for a Mountain Dew commercial[4] in the United States.
