Girl U Want is just a fun little tongue-in-cheek poke at pop songs. It’s got that great spastic rhythm (it sounds like 4/4, but it probably isn’t), some excellent hooks, and a great video as well.

There’s a quote attributed to Gerald Casale at SongFacts:

Casale: “It’s about the essence of desire - what does the girl really represent for the guy? She represents this aching desire. She’s the object that motivates the guy to do everything he does, so we’re just describing the attributes of the power of the female. She sings from somewhere you can’t see, like the famous myth of the sirens that used to lure the sailors to their deaths by singing to them in the night and they’d go try to find these girls that didn’t really exist, and the boat would crash on the rocks and they’d die. It’s the girl playing with the guy on the end of the string.”

Here’s a link to the video

And of course, the lyrics:

She sings from somewhere you cant see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drips on down in a mist from above

Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
That u want
Shes just the girl, just the girl
