Шаблон:Infobox song

"Change His Ways" is a song by English vocalist Robert Palmer, which was released in 1989 as the fifth single from his ninth studio album Heavy Nova.[1] The song was written and produced by Palmer.[2] "Change His Ways" reached No. 28 in the UK.[3]

A music video, featuring the use of animation and cartoon characters designed by the Italian artist and cartoonist Massimo Mattioli,[4] was filmed to promote the single.[5][6] The video parodies the highly successful Terence Donovan-directed videos for "Addicted to Love", "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" and "Simply Irresistible" by replacing the backing models with caricature animated birds.[7] The song itself features yodelling and Zydeco accordion.[8]

Release

"Change His Ways" was released by EMI on 7" vinyl in the UK, Europe and Australasia. 12" vinyl and CD formats were issued in the UK and Europe,[9] while a limited edition 7" picture disc was released in the UK.[10] All 7" editions featured the B-side "More Than Ever", which also appeared on Heavy Nova.[1]

Critical reception

Upon release, People commented on the song: "It starts out with a South African tinge then drifts through a reggae mood, a Louisiana riff or two, some mundane pop and, saints preserve, a snatch of yodeling. This is one of those notions that reads better than it sounds, and it doesn't read all that amusingly".[11]
