"'Wide Boy'" is a song by English singer-songwriter Nik Kershaw. It was his sixth consecutive top-20 single, peaking at No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart in 1985. It was followed by "Don Quixote" which was to become the last of his string of top-20 singles on the UK chart. "Wide Boy" also charted highly in Ireland and Australia, peaking at No. 5 and No. 7, respectively.
The song was originally recorded for Kershaw's 'Human Racing' album, but was dropped before the album was released. It later appeared on Kershaw's next album 'The Riddle'. The single was a remix of the album version.
The accompanying video was directed by graphic designer Storm Thorgerson.[http://www.mvdbase.com/artist.php?last=Kershaw&first=Nik&sortord=1 Mvdbase.com] The Music Video DataBase
