"Girls & Boys" fired the starting gun for Parklife in March 1994, the lead single from Blur's third album, and it's Britpop with its dancing shoes on, a cheeky alternative-dance strut produced by Stephen Street. Damon Albarn wrote the words together with his bandmates Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree, and Kevin Godley's video set the band playing amid documentary footage of holidaymakers on Club 18-30 package trips.
It gave Blur their first UK top-five hit, stopping at number five, and stayed their biggest single until "Country House" went all the way the following year. In America it reached number four on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and 59 on the Hot 100, their highest-charting song there. NME and Melody Maker both named it single of the year, and MTV Europe nominated it for best song.
