The studio version from "Man Called Destruction" is the best although I've heard him perform it live superbly.

What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?
What's your sign girl?
Yeah
I'm a Capricorn
We believe in life and living
We trip on love and giving, oh yeah
If you're a Virgo
We can make it from the start
Miss Leo, you foxy lion-heart
If your sign matches mine
Think of what we'll have
We'll be making babies together, forever
What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?
What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?
I'm like Scorpio
They believe in love and devotion
For them I'd swim an ocean above
Now Libras they like security
And you can get
Plenty of that from me
Now Tauruses are stubborn
And I know that it's a fact
But baby, I swear I can deal with that
What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?
What's your sign girl?
Is it compatible to mine?

The song "What's Your Sign Girl" by Alex Chilton is a playful exploration of astrological compatibility between two people. The lyrics list off different zodiac signs, and Chilton ponders whether his own sign is compatible with those of potential partners. The chorus asks, "What's your sign girl? Is it compatible to mine?" indicating a desire for a harmonious relationship. Chilton also offers a few tidbits of information about each sign, such as Capricorns believing in "life and living" and Scorpios valuing "love and devotion." The overall tone is light-hearted and fun, with a hint of romanticism.

I first heard this song live at Lounge Axe in Chicago in 1992. I loved it from the first time, and still do. It makes me grin, and Alex' guitar sounds so beautiful

Seeing him play his live is incredible. Sounds like there's two or three guitars going at once, but it's all him. RIP Alex.

I have seen him live...so great....great guitar player.

I first heard this song on the college radio station here and I thought it was by some local indie rock guy who was like 20 years old. Can't believe it came out in 1995 and the singer was 45 when he sang it...

Loved Alex since The Box Tops, but Danny Pearson's version is much better ‼️
