What is this song?

I never listen to lyrics so these will be sketchy... I hear this one song that is catchy and want to modify it with a heavier guitar tone.

Again, these lyrics are sketchy and I can't hum the tune on the board. They are out of order. It's a catchy tune but

"Some girls don't want..." (not The Knack, it's current)

Sheeeee... don't want meeeee...
Iiiiiii, have the world inside"


It almost sounds like a Martina McBride cookie cutter tune.

It's something like that and I can feel the tune but don't know the song. I figure Bace would know since I too have most of The Smiths collection and a few others, besides my R&R basics.

Yeah it's current. Sounds like the Smithereens fuse with XTC's song "The Mayor of Simpleton" type of beat and sound.

Some girls don't like boys are bad.
Some girls just like to make me sad.
then a few more

Sheee e e e
Don't like meee e e e
Iiii i i i feel bad inside
Iiii've got the world inside.

A guy I work with knows just about every song there is as he has a huge mp3 library and even he didn't know what it was. Anyway, it is just one of those songs of unknown origin.

Hey Bace!

Found it after all of this time.

It's by Del Amitri of all bands.

Not Where It's At
(Currie)

With some girls it don't matter who you hang with
With some girls it don't matter how you talk
And some girls they are easy to be yourself with
But the one girl that I want, ain't easy to please with what I've got

With some girls it don't matter where you're aiming
With some girls it don't matter how you act
And some girls they don't care what car you came in
But the one girl that I want, she wants that one bit of geography I lack

Yeah, she don't want me 'cos I'm not where it's at

And some girls they will worry about reactions
And some girls they don't give a damn for that
But somehow I ain't ever in on the action
'Cos the one girl I want, she wants that one little quality I lack

Yeah, she don't want me 'cos I'm not where it's at

I don't have my finger on the pulse of my generation
I just got my hand on my heart, I know no better location



Now I just need to find the d/l to that song. I thought it was current but it is a 1997 tune.
