"Lady" is a popular song written and performed by the rock band Styx. It was first released on Styx II in September 1972 and was a local hit in the band's native Chicago, but failed to chart nationally. The song gained success when Styx left Wooden Nickel Records to move to A&M Records, and the song was re-released in 1974, peaking at #6. It was written by Dennis DeYoung for his wife.
The track would be re-recorded for the 1995 Styx compilation Styx Greatest Hits due to a contractual dispute between A&M and Wooden Nickel.
This song has been featured in various television programs, including episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Freaks and Geeks, The Office, and Still Standing. It has also appeared in films such as The Perfect Man and Old School. Also in the tv show Carpoolers.
Homer Simpson, as Odysseus, endures this song as he crosses the River Styx in the Simpsons episode "Tales from the Public Domain".
Dennis DeYoung sang the song with Hal Sparks in 2006 on the show Celebrity Duets.
