DEVO

GIRL U WANT
(BLACK LIGHT ODYSSEY MIX)
(WAITING FOR THE NIGHT BOAT REMIX)


Girl U Want was from Devo's third studio album Freedom Of Choice released in 1980. Warner Brothers actually chose to release the track as the first single from album and not Whip It, which is now considered Devo's biggest hit. Girl U Want did not chart when it was released, which was strange considering is was probably one of Devo's most commercial sounding records to that date. The track would later appear on the soundtrack to the 1995 film Tank Girl but as a new re-recorded version which was slower with more guitars and less synth. The Waiting For The Night Boat Remix is actually this version but with it sped up to match the original 1980 track. See the original post for this mix at the Waiting For The Night Boat Blog.
