Aerosmith: Dude (Looks Like a Lady) (1987)

This classic rock song from Aerosmith caused the Tweedlers the most amusement this week and was an easy pick for our song of the week. In between reading books and blogging we found that the song is easy to spoof with your own random lyrics about cats, road traffic or even shopping bags. These are just a selection of the examples that we came up with. We’re easily amused, you see.

The song was released in 1987 and the title pretty much tells us what it’s all about. I’ve read more than one story behind the song but they all seemed to involve Aerosmith encountering Motley Crue though the song isn’t directly referring to them! It’s one of those songs that is instantly familiar and has appeared in films such as Mrs Doubtfire (well, obviously!), but strangely enough lead singer, Steve Tyler, is not said to be keen on performing it live. Are you mad, Steve?

It is a pity this didn’t chart higher but like all great songs it has endured and the Tweedlers are more than happy to showcase it today.
