This Guy's in Love with You

Written by Burt Bacharach, Hal David

Error description

According to Herb Alpert's liner notes on the compilation Definitive Hits (https://www.discogs.com/Herb-Alpert-Definitive-Hits/release/3397229), this song was originally written as "This Girl's In Love with You" and he requested Hal David adjust the lyrics for a male focus, which he recorded. I'm not sure if there's a way to note it, but that technically makes "This Guy's..." an adaptation of "This Girl's..." even though Alpert was the first to record it and did so using the male version, prior to Petula Clark's better known feminine version.

Good call, California: I changed the title to This Girl's in Love with You / This Guy's in Love with You and added a comment in the vain of yours.

What do you think?

We decided to stick to the song title mostly used in the important databases and that is This Guy's in Love with You.

But I added your comment.
