"Girls & Boys" is the third single taken from Good Charlotte's second studio album "The Young and the Hopeless". The theme of the song is that girls do not like boys and only use them to acquire money and material goods. The music video for the song predominantly shows older people dressed and acting like young people. The various members of the band are shown interacting with the older characters (for example playing video games and giving massages). At the end of the video Benji Madden wakes up to find an old woman wearing one of his shirts and eating breakfast. The video was shot in New Zealand.

Trivia

*Originally, a short segment parodying the beginning of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" video occurred after the first line of the second verse. It was removed from some edits, although some music stations sometimes play the version including the parody. The version of the video included on the "Video Collection" DVD is the version without the parody.
*Benji has stated that the scene at the end of the video with him waking to find the old lady in his Made t-shirt is a reference to "Happy Gilmore".
*The song is heard in the 1st episode of the 3rd series of Smallville
*The song reached #1 on the MuchMusic "Countdown" series on October 10th, 2003.
*The video was shot in New Zealand.
*The song was used on Nickelodeon as a promotion for Slime Time Live.
