"Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" is a show tune and popular song from the 1940 Rodgers and Hart musical Pal Joey. The song was introduced by Vivienne Segal in the 1940 Broadway production and also sung by Miss Segal in the 1952 Broadway revival. The song was performed by Carol Bruce in the 1954 London production.
In Act I of The History Boys (2004) by Alan Bennett, one gay teen character, Posner, sings the song as a crucial expression of his love/infatuation for his classmate, Dakin. In the 2006 film it was sung by Samuel Barnett as Posner, and by Rufus Wainwright over the end credits.
