  1. Dressed to Kill

    Dressed to Kill is a 2009 song by Preston, most notably covered by Cher in 2013. Preston's original was released as a single in the UK from his Whatever Forever LP. The song samples the introduction from Siouxsie and The Banshees' 1980 single "Happy House.""Dressed to Kill" was Preston's only single release during the almost four-year hiatus of The Ordinary Boys. The song, however, failed to chart. Because of the failure of the lead single, the album was subsequently shelved by the label. The song was produced by Mark Taylor, who had also produced Cher's megahit, "Believe." While producing her comeback album, Taylor decided to recycle "Dressed to Kill," which he had co-written with Preston.
