'''Gigolo''' was a single released by [[The Damned]] in [[1987]].
The single was released with a bewildering array of 7" variants - copies were pressed on standard black vinyl, green vinyl, blue vinyl, red vinyl and yellow vinyl, and the coloured versions also included a poster sleeve. "Gigolo" was substantially edited from the album version, with around two minutes of the introduction excised for single release. A promotional clip directed by [[Gerard de Thame]] helped the single reach #29.
[[Music Corporation of America|MCA]] also issued the single in [[Australia]], [[Germany]], [[Italy]] and [[Spain]].
The b-side instrumental track "The Portrait" was used in the episode "A Womb With a View" of the television series [[Moonlighting (TV series)|Moonlighting]]
