A Guy Is a Guy
A Guy Is a Guy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A Guy Is a Guy" is a popular song written by Oscar Brand. It was published in 1952.
The song originated in a British song, "I Went to the Alehouse (A Knave Is a Knave)," dating from 1719. During World War II, soldiers sang a bawdy song based on "A Knave Is a Knave," entitled "A Gob Is a Slob." Oscar Brand cleaned up the lyrics, and wrote this song based on it.[1]
The best-known version of the song, recorded by Doris Day, charted in 1952. The recording was recorded on February 7, 1952 and released by Columbia Records as catalog number 39673. The flip side was "Who Who Who". The song first entered the Billboard Best-Selling Records chart on March 7, 1952 and lasted 19 weeks, peaking at #4 on the chart[2]. (According to some sources[3][4], the song reached #1 on the chart.)
The song was also recorded by Ella Fitzgerald in 1951, and by Australian singer June Miller, with Les Welch and his orchestra, in May, 1952, although Doris Day's version was actually #1 on the Australian charts
