Το "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" είναι από τα πλέον αναγνωρίσιμα τραγούδια των Aerosmith κι από τις μεγαλύτερες επιτυχίες της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας πίσω στα 80ies. Λεπτομέρειες μας δίνει η wikipedia:
«"Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was released as the second of four singles from the Permanent Vacation album in 1987. It reached #14 on the Billboard Hot 100, #41 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, #4 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and #45 on the UK Singles Chart in 1987, but was re-released in early 1990 and reached a new peak of 20.
The song was written by lead singer Steven Tyler, lead guitarist Joe Perry and professional songwriter Desmond Child. The song, which originally started out as "Cruisin' for a Lady", talks about a male with an effeminate appearance, possibly a drag queen, who is mistaken for a female. Steven Tyler says in the book Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith, "One day we met Mötley Crüe, and they're all going, 'Dude!' Dude this and Dude that, everything was Dude. 'Dude (Looks Like a Lady)' came out of that session".
According to an interview with Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe conducted for Swedish television, the title of the song originated from a New York bar crawl where Steven Tyler and Vince Neil had drinks at a bar where the waiters were dressed in women's clothes. This, according to Vince Neil, prompted Tyler to comment; "Dude looks like a lady!". Joe Perry came up with the chorus riff, and Tyler came up with the chorus refrain. In his recent book, The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe claims that the song was specifically inspired by Vince Neil, singer of Mötley Crüe.»
Διαδικτυακός χρήστης και μοντέρ συνάμα είχε την ιδέα να "ντύσει" οπτικά το τραγούδι με εικόνες - πλάνα σχετικά με την θεματολογία του. Πηγή των πλάνων ο κινηματογράφος. Ο ίδιος γράφει: «My tribute to my favourite cross-dressing men in cinema.»
