Song information

The song was a collaboration between Fox and hip-hop group Full Force. It describes how a "naughty girl" has unexpectedly fallen in love. The Baltimore Sun described it as "not so much a song as a T-shirt with a rhythm section."[1]

In the US, "Naughty Girls" peaked at #3 on June 4, 1988. It was ranked as the 50th most popular song of that year.[2] It was also a top ten hit in New Zealand, Finland and Canada. The Full Force Naughty House Mix contains a sample of Boney M.'s late 70's song "Ma Baker".

Music video

The single's music video features Fox with pink hair and a leather jacket in front of a graffiti-covered building. She is surrounded by street toughs who join Fox in a dance routine. The members of Full Force are shown providing backing vocals.

The song is featured in the infamous "Interspecies Erotica" scene from the 2006 Kevin Smith film Clerks II.

It is also the title of a 1983 Adult XXX movie starring Rachel Ashley, Hyapatia Lee, Honey Wilder and Richard Pacheco.[3]

The music video is featured in the 39th Beavis and Butt-head episode named "Tornado".
