The video was shot in Australia. Stevie Ray Vaughan contributed the guitar solo to the track (and was angered by Bowie pretending to play it in the video since he was still relatively unknown and driving a delivery truck to make ends meet). The song reached #1 on the charts.

Girl You Know It’s True was MV’s first big hit, going to #2 in 1989 for the dancing duo. It’s also the song that skipped during a concert in 1990 exposing their lip synching fraud and unraveling the whole group eventually leading to the suicide of Rob. Tragic.
