Song information
"Strike Me Pink" peaked at #46 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1993, and #136 on the Australian ARIA singles chart. The single did not chart in the U.S.
The accompanying promo video for the single was controversial because it depicted Harry watching a man drown in a tank. The video was banned from several music television channels.
The single also marked Harry's final release with Chrysalis Records and the end of her long tenure with the company (she had originally signed with Chrysalis in the mid 1970s as part of Blondie). This would also be Harry's last solo single for fourteen years until she released "Two Times Blue" in 2007.
