| - %22I Want Your Sex%22 is a song by English singer-songwriter George Michael. Released as a single in June 1987, it was the third hit from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II and the first single from Michael's then-upcoming debut solo album Faith.The song has three separate parts dubbed %22Rhythms.%22 The first one, titled %22Rhythm One: Lust%22, is the version released as a single and banned by the BBC. It appears by itself on the Beverly Hills Cop II soundtrack, and mixed with the second version, titled %22Rhythm Two: Brass in Love%22, on Faith. The second version also appears by itself as the B-side of the single. A third part, %22Rhythm Three: A Last Request%22, appears as a b-side to the %22Hard Day%22 7%22 and %22Kissing A Fool%22 12%22 singles, and on the CD version of Faith as a bonus track. All three versions were mixed continuously as one 13 minute song for the 12%22 single release.Although it is one of Michael's biggest hits, the song has been largely ignored by him; he has not performed it since the Faith World Tour and it does not appear on the 2006 retrospective TwentyFive (although the Rhythm Two version appears on Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael).
