The thing that really makes me like this song is the twin guitar riff. Other than that, it's just OK. It's funny how one little thing in a song can make you want to listen to it. You can think the rest of the tune is completely bland, but that one catchy part will grab your attention every time. Rolling Stone felt the same way, saying that the twin guitar lead was crucial to the song's success.
"Boys" was Thin Lizzy's biggest hit in the US, climbing to #12. It was a #1 of their home country of Ireland, and it managed to crack the Top 10 in the UK. The song was inspired by the group's fans. After noticing that the audience at their shows was usually full of blue collar, working types, the band felt inspired to write a song for them.
