"We Got to Get You a Woman" (also styled "We Gotta Get You a Woman") is a 1970 song originally performed and written by Todd Rundgren from the 1970 album Runt.
"We Got to Get You a Woman" was inspired by Rundgren's friend, music executive Paul Fishkin, who later promoted the song and Rundgren. It refers to the two's "post-hanging days" in Greenwich Village. In the song, Rundgren tells his friend Leroy, âÂÂWe gotta get you a woman / ItâÂÂs like nothinâ else to make you feel sure youâÂÂre alive.â Robert Rodi thought the song was "ridiculously catchy" but criticized its depiction of women. Rundgren explained that the line "They may be stupid but they sure are fun" was widely misunderstood as misogynistic; he claimed that it was, rather, referring to "stupid little characteristics that people haveâÂÂfunny little quirks and stuff like that."
"We Got to Get You a Woman" was Rundgren's first hit, peaking at No. 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks from January 30 to February 13, 1971.However, despite the success, he rarely performed the song in concert. He did perform it during most concerts of his 2019 "Individualist" tour.
