"You Belong in Rock 'n' Roll" was a song by Tin Machine, released ahead of their second album in August 1991. The song was the band’s first release on Victory Records, which was distributed by London Records in the UK.

The band’s sound was somewhat more refined than on their debut album, influenced by Marc Bolan and Elvis Presley, and its use of a music-as-sex metaphor was a Bowie theme used on several tracks stretching right back to his glam days.

Launched in a barrage of publicity, including appearances on Top of the Pops and Wogan (where the band mimed, Gabrels playing his guitar with a vibrator, and Bowie visibly tired of the host’s patter), the single peaked at UK #33 – a disappointment, but it would be Tin Machine’s biggest hit single.
