I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" is a 1926 popular song and jazz standard composed by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Clarence Gaskill.[1]

More than 20 recordings were made of "I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me" in the 16 years following its publication. Early recordings included Roger Wolfe Kahn and His Orchestra (1926), Louis Armstrong (1930), Nat Gonella (1932), Earl Hines (1932), Artie Shaw (1938), Teddy Wilson (1938), and Ella Fitzgerald (1941).[2]

It is sung twice by Claudia Drake in Edgar G. Ulmer's low-budget film noir classic Detour (1945); it is also featured in The Caine Mutiny (1954), where it is performed by the leading actress in an early scene and the composers credited prominently in the opening titles. In the 1967 film Thoroughly Modern Millie it is sung by an uncredited male vocalist on the gramophone.
