Girls, Girls, Girls (Mötley Crüe song)


"Girls, Girls, Girls" is a single by American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. It is the first single from the album of the same name, and was released on May 11, 1987.

Production

The track was thoroughly pre-produced, and was then recorded at different studios over the course of several weeks, starting with the drum parts, then bass and guitar, and finally vocals.

Meaning

The song references several strip clubs, including The Tropicana, The Body Shop, Seventh Veil, the Marble Arch, Thee Dollhouse, the famous Crazy Horse in Paris, and Tattletales in Atlanta.

Use in media

"Girls, Girls, Girls" was featured in several telenovelas including Matriarcas and Wena profe.
NASCAR driver, Ryan Preece used the song for his introduction at the 2019 Bass Pro Shop NRA Night Race.

Music video

Filmed on the night of April 13, 1987, Mötley Crüe shot their video for "Girls, Girls, Girls" with director Wayne Isham. With a strip club theme planned for the video, they originally wanted to use The Body Shop, but since that venue is all-nude and does not serve alcohol, they ended up shooting it at The Seventh Veil on the Sunset Strip. By the time they finished at the club, none of the band members were functioning properly. They left the club on their motorcycles to go to Isham's studio nearby to film inserts, stopping off at a Mexican restaurant for shooters and taquitos on the way.
The original cut of the video featured topless dancers and was purposely sent by Isham to MTV before it was rejected and replaced with a more sanitized version.

Charts

The single originally peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 26 in the UK. Following the release of the 2019 biopic The Dirt, the track returned to the rock singles chart in both the US and the UK in April of that year.
