The version with Bell and Devo singing is heard in the film's opening sequence, but the version on the soundtrack album is Devo without Bell. In 1995, a reunited Devo, joined by Bulimia Banquet vocalist Jula Bell, recorded a slowed-down version for the action comedy film Tank Girl. This version was popular enough to be performed live, with vocals, on the 1982 tour. In 1981, Devo recorded an instrumental easy listening version of the song for a fan club distributed cassette tape.

United Kingdom (Official Charts Company) Tracks like the funk-lashed cover of Devo's 'Girl U Want' are dead ringers for the stuff on the Riptide album.' People described Palmer's version as 'head-banging new wave'. In a review of Honey, AllMusic said: 'Palmer himself sounds as inhumanly suave as ever, though much of the material is a prescription for dГ©jГ vu. Palmer also performed the song on the UK music show Top of the Pops on June 16, 1994. The Japanese CD featured the same remix, but replaced 'No Fuss' with 'Know By Now' from the Honey album.ДЄ music video was filmed to promote the single. The UK and Netherlands CD release featured an additional track 'The Panaxa Mix' of 'Girl U Want' by Pino 'Pinaxa' Pischetola. The song's B-side was the non-album track 'No Fuss'. The single was released on 7' vinyl, cassette and CD in the United Kingdom, and on CD in the Netherlands and Japan.

In Japan, it achieved greater success, reaching No. The track was a moderate success in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at No. Produced solely by Palmer, the song was released as the lead single from his twelfth studio album Honey. In 1994, 'Girl U Want' was covered by English singer Robert Palmer.

'Girl U Want' is definitely one of the most overlooked gems to surface from the early-'80s new wave movement.' Robert Palmer version 'Girl U Want' While some find it hard to look past Devo's wacky costumes and focus on their music, the fact is that Mothersbaugh and Casale were great songwriters. The stiff yet irresistible main synth riff (doubled with guitar) is instantly catchy and memorable, while the lyrics deal with unrequited love. The result was one of their finest tracks, 'Girl U Want' but, strangely, it wasn't that track that made the album such a commercial success. Greg Prato of AllMusic reviewed the song itself, stating 'While writing material for their third full-length album, Devo's main songwriters, Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale, took notice of the Knack's current success with their quirky single 'My Sharona', and decided to write their version of the song.

Steve Huey of AllMusic noted the song in a review of the album, stating: 'Several tunes вЂ“ like the oft-covered 'Girl U Want' вЂ“ have a geeky (but pragmatic) romantic angst that was new to Devo albums, although the band's view of relationships is occasionally colored by their cultural themes of competition and domination.' Huey also highlighted 'Girl U Want' as an album standout by labeling it an AMG Pick Track. Track listing 7' Single (American release) As the video ends, girls in the audience are shown holding signs with icons, including an electrical outlet. At one point, Mark Mothersbaugh pulls aside the curtain behind the band to show an overweight man on a vibrating exercise machine, attempting to drink a milkshake to the ecstatic reaction of the audience. The band wears the silver naugahyde suits from the cover of Freedom of Choice, and mime the song with Moog Liberation synthesizers.Дuring the video, the camera focuses on the girls in the audience exaggeratedly enjoying the performance, including one girl who is visually implied to 'wet' herself, which transitions to a scene of General Boy controlling the backup dancers. Further implying the televised nature of the performance, the color in the video is deliberately altered to make the red of the band's energy dome headgear look almost purple. In the music video, Devo performs for a group of young women in the style of a performance from The Ed Sullivan Show, with two robotic backup dancers, one male and one female. 'Girl U Want' was first performed in December 1979 in a similar arrangement to the album version. The lyrics, in typical Devo style, describe a relationship marked by unrequited love/lust for a woman. 'Girl U Want' was allegedly inspired by the song ' My Sharona' by the Knack, although Devo bassist and co-writer Gerald Casale has denied this claim.
