«Valley Girl» er ein song av Frank Zappa og den då 14 år gamle dottera hans, Moon Unit Zappa . Han vart gjeven ut i 1982 på albumet Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch the Galleria ».[1] [2] [3] [4] Valspeak » auka kraftig, både med og utan ironi (ikkje minst på grunn av filmen Valley Girl Strictly Commercial
Songen var den einaste singelen til Zappa som nådde Topp 40 i USA med ein 32. plass på Billboard Hot 100 . Han hadde likevel mykje større hittar i andre delar av verda. Han er ein av dei mest uvanlege Zappa-sognane med tanke på kor relativt «normal» songen er, spelt i 4/4-takt, med unntak av ein 7/8-rytme mot slutten.
Singelen hadde forskjllige B-sider. To av dei var frå same albumet som «Valley Girl:» «No Not Now» og «Teen-Age Prostitute». Ei anna B-side var «You Are What You Is ». Ein av versjonane av singelen var på begge sider, med ein kortare versjon på B-sida.
