GTO (Sinitta song)

"GTO" is a song by Sinitta. It was released in 1987 as the fifth single from her self-titled debut album. The song is about a girl whose boyfriend cares more about his car, in the music video a Ferrari 250 GTO, than her. As Sinitta is American born, the car is more likely meant to be a Pontiac GTO, however (“Big, red GTO”) - while the Ferrari is a small, rare sports car, the GTO is a well known muscle car.
