"It's De-Lovely" is one of Cole Porter's hit songs, originally appearing in his famed 1936 musical, Red Hot and Blue. The song was later used in the musical Anything Goes, first appearing in the 1962 revival. The hit records in late 1936 and early 1937 included Eddy Duchin, Shep Fields, and Will Osborne.
The song plays with words that have the prefix "de", which leads to the creation of the neologism "de-lovely": "It's de-lightful, it's de-licious, it's de-lovely."
The song was used by the Chrysler Corporation in advertising DeSoto automobiles, changing the lyrics to "Its delovely, its dynamic, its DeSoto."
A 1970s commercial for a soft drink used the song, describing it as "de-sugarfree".
Robbie Williams sings this song in Cole Porter's biographical film De-Lovely.
