6. Aerosmith - Dude (Looks Like A Lady)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf0oXY4nDxE Supposedly inspired by Mötley Crüe front man Vince Neil (Tyler noticed his appearance in a video on MTV and developed the concept); this Aerosmith classic is something that feels upbeat and positive throughout. Despite that however it's likely not to be something your significant other would enjoy hearing at that tender moment, especially when you're attempting to set the mood for a night of passion. The video for the song was directed by veteran director Marty Callner, who has worked with artists from Diana Ross and Cher to Poison and The Cult. He was also nominated for several Emmy awards including one for his work with Robin Williams, live on Broadway, in 2003. Another notable connection between Robin Williams and Aerosmith is that the song reached probably the height of its fame when it was featured in a montage from 'Mrs Doubtfire' in 1993. It's the scene in which Williams is making his transformation from man to woman surprisingly enough with hilarious consequences. Having said all that, we still don't believe this song is of any great use as a love song, probably garnering the same reaction from an unsuspecting recipient as 'Big Girls (You Are Beautiful)' by Mika.
