"Call Me Irresponsible" is a 1962 song composed by #JimmyVanHeusen with lyrics written by #SammyCahn which won the #AcademyAwardForBestOriginalSong in 1963. According to the #MelTormé book The Other Side of the Rainbow with Judy Garland on the Dawn Patrol, Van Heusen originally wrote the song for Garland to sing at a #CBS dinner. At that time, Garland had just signed to do #TheJudyGarlandShow on CBS, and the intent of the song was to parody her well-known problems.
