"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 hit #1 in Cash Box magazine and peaked at number two - for three weeks - on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. It reached #3 on the Billboard R&B Chart. The B-Side of the single was "Don't Turn Around", covered by Bonnie Tyler, Aswad and Ace of Base. Phil Collins plays drums on this song. "Typical Male" is unusual for a pop song, in that the chorus includes a single measure in 2/4 time.
Music video
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.
