"Whirly Girl" is a US top 40 pop song[4][5] performed by American dance-rock band OXO.
The new wave style[6] song was written and co-produced by singer/guitarist Ish "Angel" Ledesma (former singer and guitarist of Foxy) and included on OXO's 1983 self-titled debut album.
The song was about Ish's wife Lori and was originally titled "Worldly Girl", "but adding that 'd' to the mix made the chorus too chunky and difficult to sing.
[10] Following the breakup of OXO, in 1986 Ledesma formed the dance-pop group Company B, at first a trio with his wife among the members, which also had a sole Billboard Hot 100 hit (1987's "Fascinated")[11] penned by Ledesma.
Echternkamp, stepson of Frank Garcia (bassist of OXO), directed the semi-documentary Frank and Cindy, which includes a rearranged version of the song and some excerpts from its video clip.
