Behind the Song: “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong,” by The Spin Doctors

On October 17th, 1992, New York City-based rock ‘n’ roll band, The Spin Doctors, released their hit song, “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.” The track, from their 1991 debut LP, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100. While the song is plucky, funny and has an accompanying music video that involves paint splattering and band antics, the meaning and origins of the song are quite serious. That meaning, however, was often lost on audiences in the 90s and early 2000s, says The Spin Doctors’ front man, Chris Barron. We caught up with Barron to ask him about writing the song, who it was about, why the song made a recent resurgence thanks to a viral tweet on Twitter and much more.
