"Your Woman" is a 1997 music single released by British one-man band White Town, also known as Jyoti Mishra.[1] It features a trumpet line taken from "My Woman" by Al Bowlly and it reached number one in the British charts in 1997. It also hit number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song is often known by the title of the EP on which it originally appeared — "Abort, Retry, Fail?".
The music video was produced in black-and-white silent film style. There is one scene in the videoclip where the female actor closes the door on the male actor's arm, as she tries to escape from his advances. This is a direct reference to a very similar scene from Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel's 1928 surrealist film Un chien andalou.
The song was covered by Tyler James in July 2005.
