“Ghost Of A Texas Ladies' Man” by Concrete Blonde

"Ghost of a Texas Ladies' Man" kicked off Walking in London, the fourth Concrete Blonde studio album, as its lead single in February 1992, and it's a ghost story from Johnette Napolitano's own life. In March 1991, with the band on the road opening for Sting, she spent a night at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas, and came away sure she'd had company: a randy spirit with an eye for women, the sense of being watched once she undressed, lights flicking on and off until she unplugged every lamp, then the closet light snapping on and the door easing open as if a hand were on it.

Napolitano wrote it, and the band produced it with Chris Tsangarides. It climbed to number two on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.
