Debbie Harry - French Kissin' (Dub Version) (US 12'') (1986)

The song was released as the album's first single in November 1986, and became a moderate radio hit in the US, peaking at #57 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also Harry's biggest success in the UK, where it reached #8 (her only solo Top 10 single there to date). For promotion, Harry did a live performance of "French Kissin" and "In Love with Love" on Saturday Night Live, as well as a handful of television interviews in the UK and U.S. in late 1986. A music video was also made and subsequently played on video stations. Besides the regular formats 7" and 12" the single was also released as a limited edition 12" picture disc in the UK. Harry also recorded a French language version of the track which was released as the B-side of other Rockbird singles and was also included on the 1988 Blondie/Debbie Harry remix compilation Once More into the Bleach. A cover of the song by Carol Chapman was also featured in the 1989 movie Troop Beverly Hills.
