"Girls Like That (Don't Go for Guys Like Us)" was the first taste of Loverama, Custard's fifth album, on rooArt, and its title is a wry, self-deprecating shrug. It's also the sound of a band pushing its favourite trick to the limit: David McCormack later reckoned the ironic love song had nowhere left to go after this one. He wrote it with Trevor J. Ludlow and Dylan McCormack.
Magoo produced and mixed it. McCormack and Matthew Strong play guitars, Paul Medew bass, and Glenn Thompson covers drums, shakers and a bass synthesizer. It hung around the ARIA singles chart for 24 weeks, and the video McCormack co-directed with Andrew Lancaster won Best Video at the 1999 ARIA Music Awards.
