  • "Girl U Want" was the first single from the 1980 Devo album Freedom of Choice. The song represented Devo's attempt to create a song in the style of "My Sharona" by The Knack. It was rerecorded by Devo in 1995 for the soundtrack to the film Tank Girl and again in 2008 for the video game Rock Band. This song was covered by Soundgarden on the band's 1992 Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas EP (this version served as the template for Devo's 1995 remake; it was more economical than licensing the Soundgarden version), and also by the Chilean funk-rock band Chancho en Piedra, with the lyrics translated into Spanish. Devo 2.0 has also covered this song as "Boy U Want" with numerous lyric changes (although Girl U Want was available as a Target Corporation exclusive).
