"Harry Houdini" (titled as "Arts in 'D' Minor/Harry Houdini" on the album) is a song by Canadian duo Kon Kan, released as the second single from their 1989 debut album Move to Move. The song did not match the success of their previous single " I Beg Your Pardon", managing to just scrape into the top forty in their native Canada at No. 39 and peaking at No. 88 in the UK, although it was a bigger hit in New Zealand, where it reached No. 14 in September 1989. [1]
The song contains a sample of " White Lines" by Grandmaster Melle Mel [2] and a vocal interpolation of Blondie's " The Tide Is High". [3]
