Cars and Girls is a single released by the British rock group Prefab Sprout in 1988.[1] It was the first single taken from their album of that year, From Langley Park to Memphis. The single reached number 44 in the UK Singles Chart, and spent five weeks in that listing. It is one of their best-known songs, despite its comparatively low chart placing.[citation needed] The song is a critique of Bruce Springsteens perceived limited subject matter in his songs.[3] McAloon suggests that Springsteens worldview is too restricted and that some things hurt more, much more, than cars and girls. Ironically, the songs popularity is partly due to it being misinterpreted as a driving song, leading it to appear on compilation albums such as Summer Cruisin and Top Gear (a spin-off from the BBC Television motoring show of the same name.
