"Typical Male" is a song recorded by American singer Tina Turner. It was written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle and produced by the former for Turner's studio album Break Every Rule (1986).

The song reached number one in Cash Box magazine and just missed becoming her second number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number two for three consecutive weeks (behind "When I Think of You" by Janet Jackson and "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper). It also reached number three on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart. The B-side of the single is "Don't Turn Around", later covered by Bonnie Tyler, Aswad, and Ace of Base. Phil Collins plays drums on the song.

Music video

[edit | edit source]

In the music video, Turner is seen in a red minidress, flirting with a lawyer. She plays games with him, such as chess and Scrabble in order to get his attention. Throughout the video, Turner is seen hugging and leaning against a statue of the lawyer's leg. At one point in the video, she and the lawyer are sitting on a gigantic telephone headpiece, and she jumps up and down on one end of the phone sending the lawyer high into the air. At the end of the video, Turner and the lawyer are seen walking together holding hands.
