Producer Jim Steinman has a penchant for long titles - just think of 'Paradise by the dashboard light', 'You took the words right outta my mouth' and 'Making love out of nothing at all'. 'Loving you's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it' fits into that style, but unfortunately the song itself is not as classic as the other three. Even with experienced vocalists Bonnie Tyler and Todd Rundgren, the single only managed to reach number 73 in the UK singles chart back in December 1985.
This Dutch single came with an image of the painting 'Phyllis and Demophoön' by Edward Burne-Jones.
