"French Kiss" became a European and American hit in 1989. The song also was a hit in dance clubs around the world, and it spent two weeks at number one on the American dance chart in October 1989. It was a crossover pop hit as well, peaking at number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Distinctions of this song are that it is based on a single note (F-natural) and that it gradually slows down to a complete stop, marked by the sound of female moans, and then gradually speeding up. This was an innovative feature for any dance track at that time.
