has moved to Guernsey" which was changed to Boston in the U.S. single to be more geographically recognizable to listeners, but oddly enough changed to "Jersey" for the U.K. single. The song has since appeared on compilations such as Singles – 45's and Under. In 2007, the reunited Squeeze recorded a new, guitar-heavy version of "Goodbye Girl" for an Under Armour television advertisement. Reception and legacy Writer Anna Borg ranked the song fourth on her list of best Squeeze songs, writing, "Famous for confounding US audiences with odd slang like 'lino' for linoleum, 'Goodbye Girl' is classic Squeeze in that it tells a story with a rather dire ending for our romantic hero. Always a cad during the pick up, he rarely gets to keep the girl. In this case, he doesn't even get beyond a little kissing." Tarkio, featuring Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, recorded "Goodbye Girl" in 1998. It was released on the Kill Rock Stars record label in 2006. The Shins covered the song for Levi's Pioneer Sessions in 2010.
