"How About You?" is a popular song composed by Burton Lane, with lyrics by Ralph Freed. It was introduced in the 1941 film Babes on Broadway by Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney and has also featured in The Fisher King with Robin Williams. The music of the song appears in the film All About Eve (1950). The lyrics of the song are often changed depending on the recording artist, in its original form, it is a duet though rarely has it been recorded that way. Certain lyrics have also been changed based on the time of the song's release; the line "Franklin Roosevelt's looks give me a thrill" had been changed to "James Durante's looks" in a fifties recording by Sinatra, though he did sing it in its original form with Dorsey back in the forties.
