"Alternative Girlfriend" is a 1995 Barenaked Ladies single from the 1994 album Maybe You Should Drive. It later appeared on their 2001 compilation, Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits, although they had to hold a poll on which song to put on the compilation, "Alternative Girlfriend" or "Be My Yoko Ono". The poll came up at almost exactly 50/50, so they included both songs. The song was written by Stephen Duffy and Steven Page.
