The 1928 musical Good Boy is nearly entirely forgotten now, but one of its songs was a breakout hit. Helen Kane performed “I Wanna Be Loved by You” in the show, and the song was later famously taken up by cartoon character Betty Boop (who was modeled after Kane), and a long list of later singers. One its more memorable later performances was by Marilyn Monroe in the movie Some Like It Hot.

Both the song and the musical it came from join the public domain in 47 days. #PublicDomainDayCountdown
