Misc ="A Girl Like You" is a 1994 single by Scottish singer-songwriter Edwyn Collins from his album "Gorgeous George". The song is an Iggy Pop tribute, [ [http://wc04.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fifixqthldhe AllMusic Guide] ] chronicling a tale of the singer's experiences of meeting an extraordinary girl.
The song samples Len Barry's 1965 hit 1-2-3.
It was featured in the "Empire Records" soundtrack.
Music video
The video was in turn an avant-garde tribute to its lyrics (e.g. when Collins sings the lyrics "you bring out the devil in me", a child's painting of the devil is overlaid over his face).
Production
The Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook played vibraphone on the recording.
Chart performance
*The song went to #4 on the UK singles chart and stayed on the chart for 14 weeks.
*A Girl Like You was featured in VH1's 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders at #68.
