"West End Girls" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. Written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, the song was released twice as a single. The song's lyrics are concerned with class and the pressures of inner-city life which were inspired partly by T. S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land. It was generally well received by contemporary music critics and has been frequently cited as a highlight in the duo's career. The song was performed by the Pet Shop Boys at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony.

  • "West End Girls" é uma canção da dupla inglesa de música eletrônica Pet Shop Boys, tendo sido seu primeiro single. Escrita por Neil Tennant e Chris Lowe, a canção foi lançada duas vezes como single. Considerada uma novidade na época, especialmente se tratando da sonoridade "padrão" de um hit single em contraste com a origem underground da faixa, a canção foi um destaque entre muitas, tornando-se um sucesso global. Com "West End Girls", juntamente a muitos de seus próximos singles, a dupla demonstrou uma grande habilidade em conseguir mesclar comentários político-sociais (e sátiras políticas) ao som eletrônico. A canção é uma demonstração inicial da forma inteligente que os Pet Shop Boys criam música pop como um comentário acerca do momento cultural vigente. (pt)

Den första versionen från 1984 blev bara en mindre hit, men en nyinspelning tillsammans med producenten Stephen Hague från 1985 nådde förstaplatsen på både den engelska och amerikanska singellistan.
