WEST END GIRLS
"West End Girls" is a song by British pop duo Pet Shop Boys. Written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, the song was released twice as a single. The song is influenced by hip hop music, with lyrics concerned with class and the pressures of inner-city life. It was generally well received by contemporary music critics and has been frequently cited as a highlight in the duo's career. The song was performed by Pet Shop Boys at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony and was included as part of the soundtrack of the 2013 game Grand Theft Auto V on the Non-Stop-Pop radio station.

Very few 12-inch singles have collector's item values; about the only ones that I know of are some of the earliest Pet Shop Boys singles, where their big hit "West End Girls" is shown as the "B" side.
