History and plot
The song was written by the Hanson brothers in collaboration with the famous songwriter Desmond Child . Interestingly, Child, who wrote many hits (for stars such as Kiss , Bon Jovi and Aerosmith , Alice Cooper and Ricky Martin ), once said that of all the songs he wrote, this is his very favorite. Songfacts website tells:
Desmond Child was one of the people [this time there] who was accepted at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony. When they began to beg him, the author of “ Dude (Looks Like a Lady) ” [group] Aerosmith and “ Livin 'on a Prayer ” [group] Bon Jovi admitted that of all the things that he had ever written, his favorite was “ the song that I wrote with [Hanson ]’s band called “Weird” because it is about how you feel different from others, and I grew up in poverty, grew up Hispanic, grew up gay, and now I'm fat! ” [one] |
