Georgy Girl (song) Georgy Girl (song) "Georgy Girl" is a song by the Australian folk music group the Seekers. It was used as the title song for the 1966 film of the same name. Tom Springfield, who had written "I'll Never Find Another You", composed the music and Jim Dale supplied the lyrics. The song is heard at both the beginning and end of the film, with markedly different lyrics (and with different lyrics again from those in the commercially released version). It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost the Oscar to the theme song from the
A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody theme song. In 1963, Tom Prideaux wrote in "Life" magazine that the song "has been played ever since [1919] for God knows how many beauty contests, debutante cotillions and strip-tease acts." It was also often used in catwalk fashion shows. Fred Astaire danced to the song in the film "Blue Skies" in 1946. It was the theme song to the 1950s television game show "The Big Payoff" & "The Dream Girl of 1967 (December 19, 1966-April 28, 1967)" on ABC-TV Daytime USA and it performed & remade for instrumental by Percy Faith before replaced by Chuck Barris' New Theme of
