I Feel Pretty and Julie Andrews. Little Richard covered the song as part of the 1996 RCA Victor tribute album "The Songs of West Side Story". The song was mashed up with the song "Unpretty" by TLC in a "Glee" episode to create "I Feel Pretty/Unpretty", a duet that attempts to show the irony in people feeling pretty on the outside but unpretty on the inside. I Feel Pretty "I Feel Pretty" is a song from the 1957 musical "West Side Story". "The New York Times" explained that "Mr. Sondheim…has said he was never particularly fond of his lyrics in 'West Side Story,'
I Feel Pretty witty and gay/And I pity/Any girl who isn’t me today'. In the movie this night scene was changed to the daytime, and presumably for this reason, the rhyming words "bright" and "tonight" were changed to "gay" and "today." In the musical, Maria is not yet aware that her love, Tony, has just killed her brother Bernardo, while in the film version, the song occurs before Bernardo's death. In the bridal shop where she works, Maria sings about being happy and feeling beautiful because she is "loved by a pretty wonderful boy", while her coworkers tease her about her silly behavior.
