"Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" is a 1972 pop song written by Elliot Lurie and recorded by his band Looking Glass on their debut album Looking Glass. The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, remaining in the top position for just one week.
The lyrics tell of Brandy, a barmaid in a port town. She wins the admiration of many of the sailors, and the love of one of them, but none of them is willing to abandon their first love, the sea.
The song was covered by the band Red Hot Chili Peppers on their 2004 album Live in Hyde Park, and has also been recorded by Kenny Chesney.
