See That Girl

"See That Girl" is a song by English singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl, released on 18 September 1981 by Polydor as the second single from her debut studio album, Desperate Character. It was written by MacColl and produced by Barry "Bazza" Farmer.

As the follow-up to MacColl's "There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis", which reached number 14 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1981, "See That Girl" failed to make an appearance in the UK charts. It did, however, gain radio airplay and reached number 45 on Record Business magazine's Airplay Guide Top 100 chart in October 1981.

On 20 October 1981, MacColl performed the song on the ITV children's series Get It Together.

Critical reception
Upon its release as a single, Sunie of Record Mirror considered "See That Girl" to be "a marked improvement on the hideous novelty" of "There's a Guy Down the Chip Shop Swears He Elvis" and "more in the vein" of MacColl's 1979 single "They Don't Know". She added, "In other words, this is one of Kirsty's rather precious Sixties-style girlie songs, very much the sort of thing Sandie Shaw used to warble." She described MacColl's vocal as "aiming towards a Marianna circa 'As Tears Go By'." Peter Trollope of the Liverpool Echo described it as "another strong single which should follow 'Elvis' into the charts." Ian Birch of Smash Hits was negative in his review, stating, "The song recalls one of those rush jobs that appeared on countless B-sides during the '60s. Even Kirsty sounds bored and she wrote the song." He felt MacColl should have "stayed in the wings until something as snappy as 'Chip Shop' presented itself".
