Happy Music Monday! There are a lot of different topics in the world, but music keeps coming back to a few over and over again. Today Scott's found five songs that all share the same title, but take a drastically different approach to execution. Check 'em out. You've probably heard a few.
The Smithereens - A Girl Like You
There isn't a lot to say today, because it's really the music that's doing the talking. So I encourage you to listen to all the songs and enjoy how they change. Obviously, we start here with a power-pop hit. So catchy!
The Wolfgang Press - A Girl Like You
The Wolfgang Press was a bit more alternative in their day. Now, of course, they're almost totally mainstream radio-friendly.
This might be the earliest Girl Like You I found. It's from '68!
Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You
Edwin Collins was in a band called Orange Juice for a while. That's where he learned to make cool musical sounds like that "blat blat blat" behind him.
Pete Yorn's strong guitar is always lovely, and you could allllmost play the Smithereens song above alongside this song, couldn't you? Maybe that's coincidence, or maybe it's intentional. Who can say?
Let us just remind a girl like you: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use. See a girl like you next week.
