"Island Girl" is a song performed by Elton John that went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975. It was the first single taken from the album Rock of the Westies. The lyrics are about a prostitute, and a man who wants to take her back to Jamaica. The song is atmospheric, featuring gospel-ish piano behind the famous scratchy, distorted repeated slide guitar intro. It also features a high-strung Caribbean mandolin/guitar sound, Caribbean steel drums and marimbas, and a heavy bass guitar. Also notable is a shaky synthesizer solo. The single's B-Side was "Sugar on the Floor", which was written by Kiki Dee, who would go on to duet with Elton on a number of occasions, most notably on their chart-topping 1976 single, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".
