Meglio Stasera Sheet Music

Meglio Stasera

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia

Meglio Stasera (known in English as It Had Better Be Tonight) is a 1963 song with music by Henry Mancini, Italian lyrics by Franco Migliacci and English lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was composed for the 1963 film The Pink Panther. In the film, Fran Jeffries sings the song while slowly dancing around a fireplace at a ski lodge in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, where all the principal players of the film are gathered. In addition to the vocal performance, instrumental portions of the song appear in the film's underscore from time to time, sometimes as an intro into the main Pink Panther Theme. The song is a candombe, a genre of popular dance music from Montevideo, Uruguay, and the candombe's requisite drummers can be seen at one point in the film.

The Italian version of the song performed by Fran Jeffries in The Pink Panther was not included on the movie soundtrack. Fran Jeffries sings the English version, It Had Better Be Tonight, on the album Mostly Mercer.

Fantastic lens. I love the movie the Pink Panther and have always enjoyed Mancini music. I even have the soundtrack to the Pink Panther and enjoy the songs periodically at home.
