"Let's Misbehave" is a song written by Cole Porter in 1927, originally intended for the female lead of his first major musical production, Paris. It was discarded before the Broadway opening in favor of "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love". However, the star of the Broadway production, Irene Bordoni, performed it for a phonograph recording which was labelled as being from the production of Paris.
The song with partial lyrics was a notable 1928 hit for Irving Aaronson and his Commanders. The song was recorded earlier with partial lyrics for the Brunswick label by Scrappy Lambert and Billy Hillpot with Ben Bernie's orchestra in December 1927. In January 1928, Harry Reser's band "The Bluebirds" recorded their version of the song with the personnel consisting of Tommy Gott on trumpet, Larry Abbott on alto saxophone & clarinet, Jimmy Johnston on bass saxophone, William Wirges on piano, Murray Kellner on violin, Harry Reser on banjo & acoustic guitar, and Tom Stacks on drums & singing. Banjo Buddy (a.k.a. Harold Sandelman) recorded the full lyrics and verse in April 1928.[2]
"Let's Misbehave" was added to the 1962 off-Broadway revival of Anything Goes. It was also added into the 1991 version of Porter's You Never Know.
