"Talk Dirty" is a song by English musician John Entwistle, the former bassist for The Who. It was released in September 1981 as a single from his fifth solo studio album, Too Late the Hero (1981), on which he is also joined by Lead Guitarist Joe Walsh (who was a member of three commercially successful bands such as The James Gang, Barnstorm and Eagles). He also joined by drummer Joe Vitale, who had a career dating back to the early 1970s.

The song received airplay in the United States on the album-oriented rock radio, and John Entwistle had a 1987 radio interview with Howard Stern about it. It later proved to become Entwistle's highest charting single release, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

The artists co-wrote the song with Jason Evigan, Sean Douglas, Ori Kaplan, Tamir Muskat, Tomer Yosef, and Wallpaper frontman Ricky Reed; the latter is also the song's producer. The song is built around sampled instrumentals from " Hermetico" by the Israeli band Balkan Beat Box from their 2007 studio album Nu Med. The main saxophone lick is based on characteristic Turkish traditional ornamentations, particularly rendering the Turkish wind instrument Zurna.
