I Just Found Out About Love
"I Just Found Out About Love" is a popular song composed by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Harold Adamson for the short-lived musical Strip for Action. After several pre-Broadway tryouts, the show finally came to Boston in April 1956, where it "fell off the rails completely." The city authorities tried to ban it for gratuitous nudity, because of a scene involving two girls in flesh-colored body stockings who posed discreetly upstage. The show closed early and never made it to Broadway. Other songs in the musical were "Too Young to Go Steady", "Dame Crazy" and "Love Me As Though There Were No Tomorrow". Notable recordings
