both written by Smokey Robinson in 1964, both classics that you probably never need to hear again, but which is better?

I'll actually have to re-listen before I make that determination.

But yesterday I listened to "Soul Girl" by Jeannie and the Darlings about eight times. A very worthy answer/remake to the Sam and Dave.

well I said that kind of facetiously, the reason I made the poll is I was jamming both these songs the other day (and yeah, Temptations here too)

"My Girl", what a perfect song: string arrangement, the falsetto "oooohooooh", the fact that it's right in my singing range, the "hey hey hey"s. "My Guy", great too: swings like a mother, vocal is sexx. I went with "My Girl".

my girl, no doubt.

MY GUY.

my girl - more likely to inspire group singalong

"My Guy," the choice and my orientation are only a coincidence

― Eric H., Monday, 24 March 2008 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

both great songs but I'm going with "My Girl"

"My Guy" is classic as all getout, but has there ever been an opening line more perfect than "I got sunshine on a cloudy day"? I think not. "My Girl" it is.

I think the movie My Girl partially ruined "My Girl" for me, but Sister Act opened up a whole new world with "My God."
