Desafinado is a Bossa Nova song written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Newton Mendonça recorded on November 10, 1958, at Estúdios Odeon, in Rio de Janeiro. It is considered one of the songs that best defines the genre. The song is a response to criticism at the time, which considered bossa nova as music for out-of-tune singers. It was later recorded by several artists, including Herb Alpert, Nara Leão, Ella Fitzgerald and Stan Getz who, in 1963, won the Grammy for Best Jazz Performance by a Soloist or Small Group for the song. Two English language adaptations of the song were made: Slightly Out of Tune by Jon Hendricks and Off Key by Gene Lees. The song appears on the Showtime series Dexter in its 8th season.
