This is spelled incorrectly. It is Gurls, not Girls. The Bangles did this one well. Sometimes I can't decide whether I prefer Big Star's original ramshackle version or the Bangles' more polished version. They're both good.
The Bangles, of course, had to change all of the "gurls" (except for the title song phrase) to "boys" here. And "I was your butch" morphed into "And for so long."
@Bluewaves Your post made me smile, imagining the Bangles' cover as an answer to the original Big Star version. Both the September Gurl and the December Boy had the same feelings of heartache when all was said and done.
