"Begin the Beguine" is a song written by Cole Porter and introduced by June Knight in the Broadway musical Jubilee (1934). It was popularized and made famous by a best-selling record in 1938 by Artie Shaw and his orchestra (Bluebird). Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell created a celebrated dance to an instrumental version in Broadway Melody of 1940 (1940), and the song was featured in the closing moments of Night and Day (1946). The song was revived in 1981 by Julio Iglesias and became a major hit across Europe. The Andrew Sisters also had a major hit with this song
Since "begin" and "beguine" are often pronounced the same by some people, it is common to see the song's title misspelled as "Begin the Begin". In the movie De-Lovely about Cole Porter, the song was performed by Sheryl Crow.

It is Begin the Beguine, if we are thinking of the same old song from the 1940s.
Dunno who wrote it, but now, thanks to you, it will be running through my mind all day.
