“Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” was released by The Spin Doctors in 1992. The song rose all the way to No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was used in the movie Son in Law, Malice, and an episode of the sitcom Friends. It was also spoofed on Sesame Street as “Little Miss Count Along.”
Even though many people assume the song is about an ex, lead singer Chris Barron revealed that he wrote it about his stepmother. In an interview with American Songwriter, he said, “That song is actually about my stepmom, my dad’s ex-wife. People always think it’s about an ex of mine, but it’s actually about my dad’s ex, who I grew up with. She was actually a malignant narcissist, if that rings a bell. She was a really rough person to grow up with, and she said I was going to be a guitar-playing janitor.”
Barron continued, “There is actually a tweet about this that blew up a little while ago. I was looking through Twitter, and someone said something like, ‘My English teacher said I’d never be a writer, and now I have a book in the New York Times.’ And I was like, my stepmom said I was going to be a guitar-playing janitor – nothing wrong with that – and live in the basement of my high school, and play guitar for the rats, and I wrote a song about her, and it’s called ‘Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong’ and it’s been played on the radio three billion times!”

When speaking with Sky Magazine, Barron also apologized to listeners who found the lyrics misogynistic. He said, “The song is really about life being short, so we should all be nice to one another. It’s about one specific person, not a generalization about women. When I wrote those lyrics, I was a poor guy in New York City who wrote songs. I never dreamed that it would be on the radio all over the world. It’s about a person, who happens to be a woman, who is very unkind, very unforgiving and couldn’t be wrong. It could’ve been a man… and I promise to try and write more constructive songs in the future.”
The Spin Doctors have had several hit songs over the years, including “Two Princes,” “Jimmy Olsen’s Blues,” “What Time Is It?” and “Cleopatra’s Cat.” The band is still together to this day.
