abstract
  • %22What You Need%22 is a song recorded by the Australian band INXS. It is the leadoff track from their 1985 album, Listen Like Thieves. %22What You Need%22 was the first single off the album in Australia and New Zealand, while it was in USA and Europe the second single after %22This Time%22 and was the band's first American Top Ten hit, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.After the album Listen Like Thieves was recorded and ready to be given to the record label for inspection, producer Chris Thomas was worried that the album didn't have a %22hit%22. As Andrew Farriss recalled in a 2005 interview; %22'What You Need' is another example of a huge hit that essentially took no time at all. We'd already finished the Listen Like Thieves album but Chris Thomas (the producer) told us there was still no %22hit%22. We left the studio that night knowing we had one day left and we had to deliver %22a hit%22. Talk about pressure. The band's performance on that track is amazing. We absolutely nailed it.%22The song was covered by %22Weird Al%22 Yankovic in his 1986 polka %22Polka Party!%22. A remixed version of %22What You Need%22 was featured in the soundtrack of sports video game FIFA Football 2005.
