  • "GTO" is a hit song by American-born pop singer Sinitta. It was released in 1987 as the fifth single from her self-titled debut album. The song is about a girl whose boyfriend cares more about his car, in the music video a Ferrari 250 GTO, than her. The singer expressed her extreme dissatisfaction with the subject matter of the song when first presented with the idea by record label boss, Simon Cowell. Fearing that the title would mean nothing to her core audience of gay men and younger record buyers, Sinitta unsuccessfully begged producers Stock Aitken Waterman to retitle the track before recording. Sinitta expressed greater satisfaction with the song's video, which had a substantially bigger budget than her prior efforts, boasting that the clip's solo ballet sequence was one of her most enjoyable pop star memories. Her opinion of the song greatly improved due to its positive reception by fans. As Sinitta is American born, the car is more likely meant to be a Pontiac GTO, however (“Big, red GTO”) - while the Ferrari is a small, rare sports car, the GTO is a well known muscle car. The song was a top-20 hit in the UK, peaking at number 15. (en)
