The story behind the song

This song captures the humorous confusion of mistaking a man for a woman. The idea came to Steven Tyler after he genuinely mistook Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil for a woman with long blonde hair, leading his bandmates to playfully tease him about how the "dude looked like a lady." It’s a playful observation of appearances and the sometimes-blurry lines of rock and roll fashion. Playing it feels like stepping into a fun, slightly mischievous story.
