Mona Lisa was an Academy Award-winning song written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston for the film Captain Carey, U.S.A.. The soundtrack version by Nat King Cole spent 8 weeks as number 1 in the Billboard chart in the USA in 1950. In 1987, it was used as the theme of the British film Mona Lisa. Various artists, including Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, and Nat King Cole's daughter Natalie Cole, have released cover versions of this song.

---- Mona Lisa is a 1994 song by the rock band Guster on its debut album, Parachute. The song references the Da Vinci painting, Mona Lisa, in its line of "Fake a smile"--refering to the smile of Mona Lisa in the portrait. The self-proclaimed "heart-felt ballad" is often performed by college a capella groups such as Duke's Speak of the Devil and Yale's Mixed Company. ----
