"Tired of Being Blonde" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Carly Simon for her 12th studio album Spoiled Girl (1985) for which it served as the lead single.

According to its composer Larry Raspberry, the song was "inspired by...high school[mates]...who [still have] platinum hair...when you see them 14 years later.

And the song is about a woman who got tired of waiting on the [life enriching] results that the [cosmetic] company promised".

[1] "Tired of Being Blonde" had been pitched to Simon by MTV founder John Sykes after John Cougar Mellencamp, who had heard Raspberry perform the song live, suggested it to Sykes as suitable material for Simon.

Promoted by a video which was directed by actor Jeremy Irons,[1][3][4] the track failed to become a major hit, peaking no higher than No.
