Comments:
Eric Anderson and Tommy Bracco (Matthew Murphy photo)
As a composer on the "Pretty Woman" project I enjoyed the opportunity to write in a variety of musical styles: Rock, Jazz, Gospel and more.

This particular song is a Tango, and it includes an extended dance sequence choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, orchestrated by Will Van Dyke, and brilliantly performed by Eric Anderson and Tommy Bracco.

I've watched this scene a hundred times and I never get tired of it.
Lyrics: ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT
JUST REMEMBER YOU'RE RIGHT
WHERE YOU'RE MEANT TO BE
IN A DAZZLING DRESS
I’M SURE YOU'LL IMPRESS
THIS I GUARANTEE

HE'S CERTAIN TO BE ENCHANTED BY
THE MAGIC OF YOUR SMILE
ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE
ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT

WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM
HEADS WILL TURN, I PRESUME
YOU'LL HAVE STYLE AND GRACE
A TANGO FOR TWO
PICTURE HIM HOLDING YOU
IN A WARM EMBRACE

DANCING ON AIR
WITHOUT A CARE
TO YOUR HEART'S DELIGHT
YOU'LL BE UNSTOPPABLE
ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT

REMEMBER BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
IT’S EASY TO SEE
HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH
THIS IS WHO YOU’RE MEANT TO BE

WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM
HEADS WILL TURN I PRESUME
YOU’LL HAVE STYLE AND GRACE
A TANGO FOR TWO
PICTURE HIM HOLDING YOU
IN A WARM EMBRACE

DANCING ON AIR
WITHOUT A CARE
TO YOUR HEART’S DELIGHT
YOU’LL BE UNSTOPPABLE
ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT

REMEMBER BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
IT’S EASY TO SEE
HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH
THIS IS WHO YOU’RE MEANT TO BE

WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM
HEADS WILL TURN I PRESUME
YOU’LL HAVE STYLE AND GRACE
A TANGO FOR TWO
PICTURE HIM HOLDING YOU
IN A WARM EMBRACE

DANCING ON AIR
WITHOUT A CARE
TO YOUR HEART’S DELIGHT

YOU’LL BE UNSTOPPABLE
ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT

ANYTHING’S POSSIBLE
ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT

OH, TONIGHT!
