"Is She Really Going Out with Him?" is the first single released by British musician Joe Jackson in September 1978. The track, which was reissued to greater commercial success when reissued in 1979, was included on Jackson's debut album, ''Look Sharp!'', the following year. ==Background== According to Joe Jackson, the song originated from when he heard the title. From there, he came up with the basis for the song lyrics of "pretty women" dating "gorillas." He said of the songs origins in an interview: Initially being released as a single in 1978, the song saw little chart success, failing to chart in both Britain and America. However, when the single was reissued in the summer of 1979 (catalogue number AMS 7459), the song saw greater success, reaching #13 in Britain and #21 in America.〔 It also appeared in the charts in Australia, Canada and the Netherlands.〔(Dutchcharts.nl )〕 The UK B-side of the single, "You Got the Fever" was a non-album track that later appeared as a bonus track on later reissues of ''Look Sharp!'' In the US, however, "(Do the) Instant Mash," which also appeared on ''Look Sharp!'', was issued as the B-side instead. An alternate recording of the song was released as the B-side to Jackson's l981 single, "Beat Crazy." The song was featured in the 1998 romantic comedy film, ''There's Something About Mary'', ''The Simpsons'' episode Rome-old and Juli-eh and Live From Daryl's House episode No. 3 with the Plain White T's. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Is She Really Going Out with Him?」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
