You think you're a man - Divine

"You Think You're a Man" is a song by American performance artist Divine, released as a single in 1984. The song appeared on the compilation album The Story So Far, released the same year. It was written by Geoff Deane, formerly the lead singer and main songwriter with both the Leyton Buzzards and Modern Romance, and his occasional songwriting partner Keith Miller. Deane later went on to write the cross dressing-themed film Kinky Boots.

The single was a hit in the UK, where it peaked at number 16 in the UK singles chart. Oddly, the single didn't chart in the Netherlands. I rediscovered the track when it was included in a 12" singles compilation recently, and when I saw the single, that was my cue to buy it.
