That guitar solo is indeed startlingly modern, isn’t it? That line “llok at that girl, she’s walking straight to me…” – surely at least a subconscious influence on Roy Orbison a decade later?

Really enjoyable stuff from Guy again. Unlike the daft novelty exotica of ‘She Wears Red Feathers’, this sounds far more ‘everyday’, and to my ears, borders on Sinatra-style swing…

More of a saunter than a lumber, I’d say. Guy always sings as if he’s wearing his hat a rakish angle, but never moreso than on Look At That Girl. He can’t believe his good fortune, and I’m happy for the chap.

I think Guy Mitchell is the handsomest of the early crop of pop stars – Croatian-American, apparently. I think this song’s twist/punchline is quite a good one really, and come on, it’s a lot more fun than another week of miserabilism from that Goth Eddie Fisher, right?

3 seems low – sorry Guy, you most unjustly treated pop star.

In my mind, I long ago confused Tom’s reading of this song (which I have yet to hear) with his reading of “Hey Joe,” which I think works very well, insofar as “I’m screwing her already!” would be a great twist ending to the latter song…

Guy is a bit full of himself on this one but I’m actually more drawn to the backing, which, if you can eradicate the horn section, shuffles along on a very bluesy beat & walking bassline – an early precursor to the rock n roll era.
