Rating: 3 Stars3 Stars3 Stars
Words & Music: Sid Tepper/ Roy C. Bennett
When a boy like me meets a girl like you
Then I must believe wishes come true
I just look at you and I touch your hand
And this ordinary world becomes a wonderland
There are many girls I have met before
But I pass them by because I knew
There would be this magic moment,
One to last a lifetime through
When a boy like me meets a girl like you
When a boy like me meets a girl like you
Recorded: 1962/03/27, first released on Girls! Girls! Girls!

I don't know why, but I have an affection for the Girls Girls Girls soundtrack. Always have! Maybe it's because Elvis sang so well during those early sixties. This song is one of those that I tend to hum. It's a pleasant, well sung nice little ballad. I've always wondered why Plantation Rock wasn't included. If Blue Hawaii could hold 14 tracks why not this one?

Main difference between "Blue" and "Girls" was the quality of songs. Lots of weak ones in "Girls". Only really good song in the film "Return to Sender"! And it was n´t even written for it?!

A piece of fluff and I am being kind. This is not a good song in the same league as other early 60's ballads. A part of Elvis did die after the Army, the part that recorded really bad stuff like this. Luckily there was still stuff like Suspicion, His Latest Flame from the part that didn't die.

Its a nice song, that Elvis does beautifully. Elvis Presley's' early 60s ballad voice, was amazing. Most of his most Treasured and beloved songs came from this period, like, "Can't Help Falling in Love" & "Are you Lonesome Tonight?" Some of my other favorites from this period, "Fame & Fortune", "A Mess of Blues" "Fever" and so many more !

One of the weaker songs from the Girls x3 movie. Then again most of the movies had the odd weak recording. Soon we were to get the odd good song in the movie soundtrack albums.

A pleasant and underrated ballad from the movie and soundtrack "Girls!, Girls! Girls!". Elvis sings this one sweetly and perfectly.

Elvis' voice was at his best around this time, pity he hadn't the material to compliment the talent.

An uninspiring ballad the type that was to fill many of Elvis' soundtrack albums.

One of the wimpiest songs in the catalog. Nothing about it I like, except Elvis was in prime voice at the time.
