"He's So Unusual" is a song from the late 1920s performed by Helen Kane, who was the inspiration for the Betty Boop character. The song was written by Al Sherman, Al Lewis and Abner Silver. Released on June 14, 1929, "He's So Unusual" was featured in the motion picture Sweetie. Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. Inc. are the publishers of record.
This song is one of the Boop-styled songs which Kane sang. This is evidenced in the signature line featured in the lyric. This song and "I Wanna Be Loved by You" are two notable "Boop" songs, although Kane sang several other songs in this persona as well, such as "Button Up Your Overcoat," "That's My Weakness Now," and others.
