"It's a most unusual day,
Feel like everything's going my way.
When my heart starts to sing like a bird on the wing,
It's a most unusual day.

There are people meeting people.
There is sunshine everywhere.
There are people greeting people,
And a feeling of Spring in the air.

It's a most unusual time.
I keep feeling my temperature climb.
If my heart won't behave in the usual way
There is only one thing I can say,
It's a most unusual,
Most unusual
Most unusual day!"

You mean that one? Nope. Never heard of it.

Seriously now, it is from the show, "A Date With Judy" starring Jane Powell; a rather obscure show
that had one famous song. This one! The song was later used in an Alfred Hitchcock movie, "North
By Northwest" as an instrumental. As far as I know the show never made it to disk- no soundtrack.

That's all I can remember. Good luck on finding the sheet music. I'd try Pepper Music on the web.
If they don't have it, you're toast.
