"I Want That Man"
Song

"I Want That Man" is a 1989 song recorded by the American singer Deborah Harry. The song was released as the first single from her third solo album, Def, Dumb and Blonde and was the first record Harry released in which she reverted to using Deborah as her name instead of Debbie.

Song information

The track was written and produced by Thompson Twins members Alannah Currie and Tom Bailey. It became one of the most successful singles in Harry's solo career, peaking at number two in Australia, number 8 in New Zealand, number 13 in the United Kingdom, and number two on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States. The video was directed by Mary Lambert.

A disco version of the song was used in the Australian film Strange Bedfellows. In late 1999, the song was included on the EMI compilation Most of All: The Best of Deborah Harry and also reissued as a remix single which charted on the Australian Singles Chart at #86 in February 2000.

The B-side "Bike Boy" appeared as a bonus track on the CD and cassette editions of Def Dumb And Blonde.
