ong information

This single, which, as the title suggests it, deals with the size of the penis, was deemed as provocative at the time and thus was recorded in an toned down version removing the word "dick" (the song was also released under the censored title "Short Short Man"). [Elia Habib, "Muz hit. tubes", p. 313 (ISBN 2-9518832-0-X)] For example, in 1995, the song was re-released in the UK in its new version and remixed by Strike. It reached #11 while the original only reached #21 in 1994. It was also a massive club hit in the U.S. Several remixes, known as the "Italian remixes", were added some time after the first release.

In the music video, images of Gillette singing "Short Dick Man" on a beach alternate with those of a brawny black man performing a photo session.

In 2007, the song was covered by Laurent Wolf, featuring Marilyn David. This 3:35 version is available on several compilations, such as "Été 2007" ["Été 2007", track listing and charts [http://lescharts.com/showitem.asp?titel=%C9t%E9+2007&cat=a Lescharts.com] (Retrieved September 24, 2008)] and "Contact Play & Dance vol. 4".
