Edwyn Collins’s “A Girl Like You” is a catchy mid-1990s pop-rock song with a retro soul vibe. Featuring a driving guitar riff and horns, it became Collins’ biggest hit in 1994. The lyrics tell a playful, somewhat cryptic story of infatuation. The song topped charts across Europe and was praised for its blend of 60s mod style and 90s Britpop. Fun fact: the music video, directed by John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, is memorable for a tongue-in-cheek scene with Collins wearing a red jumpsuit and a ball gag.
