"Talk Dirty" is a song by the English rock musician John Entwistle, former bassist for the Who. It was released in September 1981 as a single from his fifth solo studio album, Too Late the Hero (1981), on which he is also joined by guitarist Joe Walsh (who was a member of three commercially successful bands such as the James Gang, Barnstorm and the Eagles). He also joined by drummer Joe Vitale, who had a career dating back to the early 1970s.
The song received airplay in the United States on the album-oriented rock radio, and John Entwistle had a 1987 radio interview with Howard Stern about it. It later proved to become Entwistle's highest charting single release, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
