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:
“There are no good girls gone wrong, just bad girls found out.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“The hotel was once where things coalesced, where you could meet both townspeople and travelers. Not so in a motel. No matter how you build it, the motel remains the haunt of the quick and dirty, where the only locals are Chamber of Commerce boys every fourth Thursday. Who ever heard the returning traveler exclaim over one of the great motels of the world he stayed in? Motels can be big, but never grand.”
—William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)
