A Girl Like You (Edwyn Collins song)
"A Girl Like You" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Edwyn Collins from his third solo studio album, Gorgeous George (). The song samples the drum track of Len Barry's single "" ().[4] It was released as a single and became a worldwide hit, reaching number one in Flemish Belgium and Iceland and the top ten in several countries, including Australia, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. In North America, "A Girl Like You" reached number 16 on Canada's RPM Top Singles chart and number 32 on the US Billboard Hot
Production[edit]
The Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook played vibraphone on the recording.[citation needed]Vic Godard performed backing vocals on the outro. The song had started out as "a more thrashy kind of guitar thing" and there had been a suggestion that Iggy Pop might record a version for the US market but before that could happen Collins' version was gaining airplay.[5]
Copyright controversy[edit]
On 30 September , Collins' manager posted to Collins' page on Myspace[6] to discuss how Collins owned the copyright to the song and wanted to make it available to anyone as a free download, but Myspace only allowed major labels to assert the rights to tracks hosted on their site.
A later posting notes that, after the story was picked up by major news outlets, the song was once again available on the music player via Myspace.[7]
Music videos[edit]
There are two different music videos for this song. The video in the United States showed an avant-garde depiction of its lyrics (e.g. when Collins sings the lyrics "you made me acknowledge the devil in me", a child's painting of the devil overlays his face). The international video shows Collins singing over videos and silhouettes of dancers.
