Just now and then, beautiful haunting music comes along with a certain rhythm and mood, a purple aura creating a profound feeling. You know the feeling, an infusion of wonderment, often taking you back to adolescence or childhood when anything was possible. Few songs generate that depth of nostalgia as this does, taking me to that purple, twilight threshhold. Len Barry's drums track from "1-2-3" melds in as though it was made for it, as, for me, the organ does in Van Morrison's "Gloria".
I met Iggy back in 1981. He was eating something out of a styrofoam box. He grabbed a fist full of baked beans and threw them at me. I had beans in my jacket pocket when I got home. I wonder if this songs about me.... lol

This song is really awful and yes, I took the five minutes of my life that ill never get back, finding this song just to put it out there that this song sucks!
I think that's a good thing. Even people who actually like this move (gotta admit, I watch it sometimes, just for shits and giggles - and because Drew Barrymore is ultra hot!) can't help but confess, that this song alone makes the buildup to the finale easily the most memorable scene in this shitfest of a movie ;-)
Also: Justin Theroux was fuckin' BADASS!
Other than that: Yeah, the movie pretty much sucks.
My dad used to play this in the car when I was little. Along with "Another One Bites the Dust" this is one of the earliest tunes I can remember listening to XD
@gummyboots No offence, but wtf are you talking about? And you say you have a thing for F C chicks...like Quebecers, for instance? What exactly do you know about them, out of curiousity? Carefull what you say, I know MUCH more than you do. Btw, Zeina Heart is not a FC name, not one bit.
If I sound pissed off, it's just I fail to see the connection between Edwyn Collins, your 'thing' for FC chicks, Zeina smth & that dildo story. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this all sounds like macho bs.
@daypeshmodd NEWS ALERTS, porn stars USUALLY don't use their real names.
and also, it's just some french canadian chick playing with a fucking dildo, how is that macho? macho would be saying "I fucked like 27 girls to this song" I said I watched a porno, and this song just happened to be playing in it. Do you not believe FC chicks are in porn? there are pornstars from EVERYWHERE.
@gummyboots I know all that. It's just that I read what u wrote on this page & didn't want to read the rest, since I felt insulted enough for myself & my people. I didn't care about the rest, and I wondered why u we're even talking about all this on an Edwyn Collins' page, whom I've always loved & admired. I didn't see the connection between what you just told me & A girl like you. Now I do.
I've questions for u. Are u a fan of this song and/or Edwyn solo in general? Noticed a lots people are here only for this song. Or are u also an Orange Juice fan? Me, I started out as an OJ fan, and btw I badly want the 7 CD OJ BOXSET ! & book & all the rest!
Also for ALL who can answer: A Girl Like You's supposed to be a tribute to Iggy Pop. What does it say about Iggy?
Edwyn C's site's nice. Go see it!
PS: PEOPLE STOP calling it 'Never known...'! Learn real title!
why do people feel the need to shaRE who the bands/singers sound like. as if we dont have ears for our selves.
This Song is awsome, tho for some reason it does give me a 70's a vibe, like this song should have been in Austin Powers. or maybe the 2 came out around the same time, and I am connecting them because It reminds me of my youth.
@Muisc4ThaSoul IM AGREE WITH YOU! but...they can express their selfs! so...they spoil the party :( , we can ignore it...we dont have another option...saaaad but true.
After that i can ask to myself, F*** where's the music now ? So i take some drugs and i put that song in my car (on the road again) and i try to remember the old time when music was not call Justin Bieber
