You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To is a Cole Porter classic written for the 1943 film Something to Shout About. It was published on October 5, 1942 and released as a Dinah Shore single on November 20, 1942, with the first recording by Dick Jurgens and His Orchestra featuring Harry Cool. In the film, the song is introduced by Janet Blair and Don Ameche, and it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1943, though it lost to You’ll Never Know. The tune runs about 2 minutes and 51 seconds and sits in the genres of popular music and jazz standard. It has become a widely covered show tune with many notable versions by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Julie London, and The Coasters, and it also appears in the 1966 Billy Wilder film The Fortune Cookie sung by Judi West.
