Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (song)

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is a song written by Cole Porter for the 1956 film High Society, where it was introduced by Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm.

Whilst looking at expensive wedding presents, the singers decide that they in fact have little desire to be fabulously wealthy.

The song also appeared in the 1973 Christmas special of The Goodies television series, The Goodies and the Beanstalk. It later inspired the title of the popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
