"Talk Dirty to Me" is the second single from American glam metal band Poison, originally from the album Look What the Cat Dragged In. It's the band's first big international hit, a staple at their live shows, and VH1 ranked it the 40th greatest hard rock song of all time. It is considered a glam metal classic and is often heard on rock radio stations around the globe. It peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's first top 40 hit in the United States.
The song, along with "I Won't Forget You", "Fallen Angel", and "Ride the Wind", was the subject of a lawsuit in 2011 by members of the defunct band Kid Rocker, who claimed that the songs were based on Kid Rocker songs played to Poison guitarist C.C. DeVille before he was a member of Poison.[2]
