"Don't Talk Dirty to Me" is a song by American singer Jermaine Stewart, released as the third single in 1988 by 10 Records, Siren and Virgin from his third studio album, Say It Again (1988). The song was written by Stewart and André Cymone, and produced by the latter.[1]
Although not a hit in America, "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" saw some commercial success in Europe. It was Stewart's biggest hit in West Germany, peaking at number four,[2] and also reaching number 14 in Switzerland.[3] Despite the success of the previous two singles from Say It Again, "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" failed to make the UK Top 40, peaking at number 61, and lasting on the chart for three weeks.[4]
Unlike the previous Say It Again singles, no promotional video was filmed for the single. However, Stewart did perform the song on the German show Peters Pop Show,[5] Soul Train, as well as the American police drama Miami Vice.
The B-Side for the single "Places" was exclusive to the single, written by Stewart and Roy Carter.[6] It later appeared on the 2005 compilation Attention: A Tribute to Jermaine Stewart.[7] For the single, various remixes of "Don't Talk Dirty to Me" were released along with the CD single track "Get Lucky (New York Mix)" which is a remix of Stewart's previous single.
