"Call Me Irresponsible" is a song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn.

According to the Mel Tormé 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, Judy had just signed to do The Judy Garland Show on CBS, and the intent of the song was to parody her well-known problems. (Garland later sang the song on episode #7 of her show. [1])

However, in 1988, Sammy Cahn said during an interview with freelance writer, Harlan Conti, in San Francisco, that the song was originally written for Fred Astaire to sing in the film " Papa's Delicate Condition" in which Astaire was to star. Cahn personally auditioned the song for Astaire's approval which he did approve; however, Astaire's contractual obligations later prevented him from making the film and the role would go to Jackie Gleason who introduced the song. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 36th Academy Awards held in 1964.

Buble has proven himself a capable crooner over his prolific young career, but this collection of old and new classics shows that his best really may be yet to come. While his voice remains as supple as a velvet panther, the cocksure renditions of "I've Got the World on a String" and the title track show how much he's grown into his repertoire. More recent pop standards, like Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" and Willie's "Always On My Mind," are odd ducks, but Buble pulls them off with panache.
