"The Girlfriend Song" is the second single by the Australian rock band Tlot Tlot. The single was released in 1995 and was nominated for the ARIA award for Best Pop Release.

It was produced by George Siew Ooi, who would later work with Tlot Tlot to produce Merril Bainbridge's album The Garden,

The song is a mid-tempo pop rock song. Its lyrics are about the singer's girlfriend. The chord progression is F-A#-D#-A#.

The video is set in a white room and begins with a shot of some cables and effects pedals, before cutting to Paulzen singing the intro and playing guitar. Bolwell then starts singing while a crazed woman tries to hug him. In some shots, Bolwell can be seen wearing a hammer and sickle shirt. The end of the video shows Bolwell and Paulzen jumping around, with Bolwell holding a guitar.

All tracks written by O.Bolwell and S.Paulzen except track 2 by Ray Dorset.

Track 2 would later be released on the album Fashion Takes a Holiday.
