This category relaxes the criteria for entries slightly, accepting not only songs that are about gender-bending, but also songs from a perspective recognizably at odds with the vocalist's gender or which explore an alternate gender perspective on events in another song.

Dude (Looks Like A Lady) (Music) By: Aerosmith
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.".
