"Beat Boy" is a 1984 song by the British synth-pop band Visage, released as a single in November 1984.

Contents

The track was taken as the second single from Visage's third album, Beat Boy , and became the band's last single before they split up in 1985. The single was a commercial failure and did not chart.

Music video

The music video was directed by Jean-Claude Luyat and shot in Africa, as a part of a full-length video incorporating songs from The Anvil and Beat Boy. It pictures dancing tribes and Steve Strange traveling across savanna. [2] The clip was later included on the Visage video album in 1986.
