Forgive Me If I Seem Out Of Line
Then She Whipped Out Her Gun And Tried To Blow Me Away!

SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Desmond Child
Producer(s): Bruce Fairbairn
This Was Aerosmith's Comeback Single. Their Last Hit Was A Remake Of "Come Together" In 1978. After Years Of Drug Addiction And Poorly Selling Records, They Emerged Clean With “Permanent Vacation” And Went On To Enormous Success In Their Second Act. Aerosmith's Comeback Started The Year Before, When Run D.M.C. Did A Hip-Hop Cover Of "Walk This Way," Which Introduced The Band To A New, Younger Audience And Got Them On MTV.
While Aerosmith Is A Very Heterosexual Band, They Were Secure Enough To Sing About Wanting Sex With The "Dude" Even After They Discover He Is A Man. They Weren't Concerned About Their Masculinity, But Were Worried About Offending The Lgbt Community - They Didn't Want To Come Off As Jackass Rock Stars Making Fun Of Someone Different.
Poking Fun At Vince Neil Was The Inspiration For This Song, But Aerosmith Lead Singer Steven Tyler Is A Dude Who Has Also Looked Like A Lady. Tyler Has Worn Feminine Clothes On Stage Since The '70s. Many Of The "Hair Bands" Like Cinderella, Guns N' Roses, And Skid Row That Were Popular When This Song Was Released, Wore Clothes And Makeup Similar To What Tyler Had Been Wearing For Years. According To Tyler, He First Got The Idea For A Song About Cross-Dressing After Hearing A Comedian Making Fun Of The Actor/'80s Icon Mr. T.
The Video Was Mostly A Performance Piece With Random Shots Of Girls And Oddities Mixed In. The Band Got A Lot Of Screen Time, Which Was A Good Marketing Move, Since A Lot Of People Had Never Seen Them Perform, Which Was Their Strong Suit. The Run-D.M.C. Cover Of "Walk This Way" Was The First Video Steven Tyler And Joe Perry Appeared In On Mtv, And This Was The Second.
When We Spoke With Desmond Child, He Said That He Told Vince Neil The Story Of The Song, And That Vince Got A Kick Out Of It. The Motley Crue Frontman Is Fully Aware That The Song Is About Him.
This Was Used In The 1993 Film Mrs. Doubtfire, In Which Robin Williams Plays A Father Who Dresses Up Like An Old English Nanny In Order To See His Three Children. Desmond Child Told Us, "It's Funny, Because They Used That Song In Mrs. Doubtfire, And Then It Was Like Every Four Or Five-Year-Old Child In America Was Able To Sing That Song. It Was Like; Do You Realize This Is About A Tranny?"
This Was The First Of Three Hits From The Permanent Vacation Album. It Was Followed By "Angel" And "Rag Doll."
The Wives Of Both Steven Tyler And Joe Perry Appeared In The Video Along With Playboy Playmate Brandi Brandt.
Shakira Sang This At Aerosmith's Mtv Icon Celebration In 2002.
