dcdeb Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 She’s a girl with a bag full of hearts and a devil’s eyes Crazy kids in the wild on the run to the county line Shotgun for a tongue but says just what she likes Oh girl you’re the devil Oh girl you got the devil inside And I said follow me Whoever you want to be Don’t care where you where you go As long as you stay with me And I said Whoever you want to be Don’t care where you where you go As long as you stay with me Oh girl you’re the devil She’s a bad bad girl Oh girl you got the devil inside Growing up as a son of a preacher in a Catholic school Jumps out of the closet head first no parachute Bought a one-way ticket on a Greyhound out of town Oh boy you’re the devil Oh boy you’re the devil I found And I said follow me Whoever you want to be Don’t care where you where you go As long as you stay with me And I said follow me Whoever you want to be Don’t care where you where you go As long as you stay with me Oh girl you’re the devil She’s a bad bad girl Oh girl you got the devil inside A very bad girl Oh boy you’re the devil He’s a bad bad boy Oh boy you’ve got the devil side A very bad boy She’s a bad bad girl A very bad girl He’s a bad bad boy A very bad boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Growing up as a son of a preacher in a Catholic school Jumps out of the closet at first no pair of shoes Bought a one-way ticket on a Greyhound out of town Oh boy you’re the devil Oh boy you’re the devil I found Greg Wells?

Ellenowl Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So super-excited about this album now, but annoyed that the release date is 6 days later in the UK than everywhere else! Haha- the album should be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm hearing "jumps out of the closet at first no parachute" Greg Wells? I thought the same! I'm hearing "jumps out of the closet at first no parachute" Oh, maybe, that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manon14 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm hearing "jumps out of the closet at first no parachute" You're almost right: "Jumps out of the closet head first no parachute" This song is.. different But I reaaally like it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Of the songs that I hadn't heard before yesterday, this is my absolute favorite. Quirky, playful, with some pretty interesting lyrics... and that lovely deep voice of Mika's. I always have a hard time choosing just one favorite song on any album, so I won't call it that, but I can tell you that I won't skip over this one like I might some others -- in fact, this is one that I will play 3, 4, 5 times in a row. Which I already did today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayaBadran Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 This one is so addictive. It's a funny one that I really really love. Another one of my favorites after No Place in Heaven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Exciting observation... I was listening to Promiseland and No Place in Heaven on repeat before going to bed but woke up having Oh Girl You Are the Devil playing in my head. Obviously very catchy!

Sweetieval Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi MFCers OMG I do really really really love that one One of my fav's on the new album (let's say I have Christine and Dcdeb, what makes you think about Greg Wells on that song ? I have not read anything about the album yet , just got the Itunes version and am waiting for my physical album in my post box (lack of time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreacher Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) This song is one of my least faves of the new album (just cuz most of the others are THAT good to me) .....and yet, somehow i keep finding myself dancing around my apartment to this one Of the songs that I hadn't heard before yesterday, this is my absolute favorite.

Which I already did today. The credits says Clarenece Coffee Jr (the son of a gospel singer) sings backing vocals on this, so i thought he was the one doing the low vocals?

The pronunciation sounds like him to me. Particularly noticeable on the word "boy" at the end of the song. Or am I just delusional? Either way, it's in my top 3 (along with Good Wife and All She Wants) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's in my top 3 (along with Good Wife and All She Wants) I agree. It sounds like the way he sings and pronounces things. But I might share your delusions But it sounds like the same voice as on Promiseland, and there all vocals were done by Mika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannekj Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I really hope he will play this live on some of the upcoming gigs. Personally it's one of my favorites from the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jords Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I feel as thought the song "Oh girl you're the devil" from MIKA's album, "No Place in Heaven" is highly underrated:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've merged your post with the existing thread we had on this song's discussion. I'm sure others will want to join in the conversation on this one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
