[2][3] Both Blane and Maughan are one-hit wonders; for both these artists, "Bobby's Girl" marked their only appearance on a national top 40 chart.

It has a spoken introduction and a backing refrain of "You're not a kid anymore" and was popular with the American teenage audience.

[13] Substantially re-arranged from Blane's original, Maughan's version dropped the spoken word intro, and had a more sophisticated, less 'teen-age' sound.

[14][15] In 1983 Tracey Ullman released a version of "Bobby's Girl" on the album You Broke My Heart in 17 Places and as a single.

[18] In 2001, members of the West Midlands Police force released a version in aid of the John Taylor Hospice in Birmingham.
