"French Kissin'" a.k.a. "French Kissin' in the USA" is the second song from the 1986 album Rockbird by Debbie Harry. The song is a slow tempo ballad and is believed to be one of her finest solo songs by fans. It was released as the album's first single on November 15, 1986 and struggled to find a mainstream audience after Harry's first solo album and singles flopped miserably compared to her band's previous releases. However, "French Kissin'" became a moderate radio hit in the US, peaking at #57 on the Hot 100. The song was also Harry's biggest success in the UK, becoming her first and only single to crack the top ten; it peaked at #8. A cover of the song by Carol Chapman was also featured in the 80's movie Troop Beverly Hills. Harry also recorded a French language version of the track which was released as the B-side of other Rockbird singles and was also included on the 1988 Blondie/Debbie Harry remix compilation Once More into the Bleach. Besides the regular formats 7" and 12" the single was also released as a limited edition 12" picture disc in the UK.
