Girls & Boys (Blur Song)

"Girls & Boys" is a song by English alternative rock band Blur. It was released as the lead single from the band's third album Parklife. Charting at number five on the UK Singles Chart, "Girls & Boys" was Blur's first top 5 hit and most successful single until "Country House" reached number 1 the following year. The single was seen as a comeback for the band, who had had a lean commercial period for a couple of years. The song surpassed the band's previous commercial peak "There's No Other Way" by three spots on the UK Singles Chart, and saw the band achieve greater worldwide success. In the United States, it reached number fifty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number four on the Modern Rock songs chart. To date, it remains Blur's highest charting single in the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words girls and/or boys:

    The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “Good boys they seemed, and let them love the city.
    All they could say was ‘God!’ when you proposed
    Their coming out and making useful farmers.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
