Jet – Are You Gonna Be My Girl

“Are You Gonna Be My Girl” is a song by the Australian rock band Jet, featured on their 2003 album Get Born. It was the first single from the album, released in 2003 in Australia and the UK, and in 2004 in the United States. Written by Nic Cester & Cameron Muncey, the song is often cited for similarities to Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” (particularly its drum pattern and near-identical guitar riff).The band, however, argues that “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” has more in common with 60s’ Motown songs, namely “I’m Ready For Love” by Martha And The Vandellas and “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes.
