    Love the pictures of all those beautiful women. No plastic surgery just beautiful. Sad how many nowdays feel that they need to change their look.

    I'm in my 20s, but I love 70s music. This song, along with Rainy Jane was my first introduction to Davy. It's a shame Girl didn't chart! I didn't know there were 2 versions of the song.

    Beautiful Song that really speaks out The Real Truth Especially just by The Way how God created Beautiful Women to come right into our very own lives. it is Really Amazing just how Women looked way way back into those days because to me as a Man hey! what can i say i enjoy the glance just by checking them out. these women right here brought US Beatty like never ever before scene. I think this song that Davy Jones sings is 1 Great Song to listen to and it has a message indeed just because Every single Men right into this world can say Girl look what you done to me.

    Written in 1971 by Songwriter Hall of Fame inductees Norman Gimbel & Charles Fox, for the Neil Simon comedy "Star Spangled Girl". The next year Fox & Gimbel would write their Grammy winning hit "Killing Me Softly With His Song" followed by the Jim Croce classic "I Got A Name".

      For 25 years, composer Charles Fox has included this song in his live concerts always dedicating to his wife... including last year at their 60th anniversary party. Also, he always plays the slower version, as he intended it.

    The first version sounds like the one that backed the opening sequence of the movie, and the original Brady Bunch episode. The second rendition has boosted bass and another layer or two of instruments. However, I'm surprised the 'grunge' version from the parody movie was not released! BIG opportunity missed, but its subsequent streaming popularity attests to the greatness of the song from an ironic current perspective. Oh, and the pictures of the 'girls' was so chosen and edited that I almost felt like crying at their beauty!

    I'll never understand why this song wasn't a hit. He sounds great and it's so catchy.
    Although the movie was not a hit, The Brady Bunch was seen by millions of people weekly.
    There must have been some kind of miscommunication between the record company, radio stations, and retailers.

    The women were far hotter and more feminine during this time period, and America was such a brighter and happier place. We have lost so much of irreplaceable value, things that simply cannot be recreated or put back, and we will never see them again. Except in photos and memories and songs. 😞

    • @JustaGroovyGuy
      @JustaGroovyGuy  Рік тому +2

      They had to speed up the Brady Bunch version from the single version because it was only a 1/2 hour tv show and they didn’t want to waste precious time on the song rather than the story (Marcia’s meets Davy Jones). However the lyrics are the same unlike the film version.

      2 versions of the Lyrics 3 versions of the song but the Brady Bunch version is too fast as they speeded up the beat to fit in a 1/2 hour TV show. Brady Bunch and single version Lyrics are the same 🙂

      ​​@@JustaGroovyGuy... Most of us prefer the tempo from the Brady Bunch version because that's what we're used to. It's also the tempo the song was played at when Davy would perform it with the Monkees and solo during the 1990's and 2000's

      The composer, Charles Fox, always intended the slower version but was happy for all the versions-- even the grunge version in Brady Bunch 2. Fox, at 82, does concerts all over the world and often sings GIRL and dedicates it to his wife of 61 yrs. @@PlumbPitiful
