How Desmond Child Saved Aerosmith’s ‘Dude (Looks Like a Lady)’
He’d been brought in to help the band make its 1987 album
Permanent Vacation, and although singer Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry didn t want his input, they turned the situation toward a favorable result.
“It was Steven who came up with the title ‘Dude (Looks Like a Lady), ” Child told Celebrity Access in a recent interview. “But he had turned it into ‘Cruisin’ for the Ladies’ because they thought that ‘Dude (Looks Like a Lady)’ would be offensive to the gay community. I said, ‘I’m gay. It’s not offensive. It’s great.’ And I convinced them to go down that path.”
