The melody of the February Lyre Song is based on “Plaisir d’amour”, a popular French love song composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini. The song was initially written from the perspective of a woman as “Can’t Help Falling in Love with Him”, which explains the first and third line ending on “in” rather than words rhyming with “you”.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love“, as the song came to be known, is a song written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss and published by Gladys Music, Inc. Recorded by singer and actor Elvis Presley, it was part of the album Blue Hawaii (1961), the soundtrack to the movie Blue Hawaii. The song was recorded subsequently in the 1960s by Perry Como, the Lennon Sisters, Doris Day, Patti Page, Andy Williams, Al Martino and Keely Smith. In the 1970s, the song was recorded by Marty Robbins, Bob Dylan, the Stylistics, Shirley Bassey, and Engelbert Humperdinck……
