Lorenz Hart rewrote the lyrics two times for Manhattan Melodrama, and eventually it was sung by Shirley Ross as "The Bad in Every Man". It was later released commercially as "Blue Moon", with yet another set of lyrics, and was first recorded by Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra. Hart disliked the final version, which nonetheless became his most popular song.
