" Rough Boys " is the debut solo single written and performed by English musician Pete Townshend , released in 1980 from his second solo album Empty Glass . [1] Known for its homoerotic lyrics, the song was a minor chart hit in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
Townshend dedicated "Rough Boys" to the Sex Pistols as well as his children, Emma and Minta, on the album sleeve of Empty Glass . [2]
Rock star Alice Cooper said of the song, "You have Pete's sexual ambiguity going on here — it sounds like a gay song. I still don't know exactly what he was trying to say with that song, but I love it, whatever it is. Pete's an amazing mystery." [2]
During a 1989 interview with Timothy White , Townshend made reference to the song "Rough Boys", calling the song a "coming out, an acknowledgment of the fact that I'd had a gay life, and that I understood what gay sex was about. I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman." [3] Five years later, in an interview with Playboy , he said, "I did an interview about it, saying that 'Rough Boys' was about being gay, and in the interview I also talked about my 'gay life,' which—I meant—was actually about the friends I've had who are gay. So the interviewer kind of dotted the t's and crossed the i's and assumed that this was a coming out, which it wasn't at all." [4]
The song was performed by Townshend with his band the Who regularly during their 1989 tour. A recording of one of these performances can be found on the live album Join Together .
"Rough Boys" first appeared as the opening track on the 1980 album Empty Glass . In that same year, it was released as Townshend's debut solo single from said album in Britain, reaching No. 39 (Townshend's best UK showing as a solo artist). [5] "Rough Boys" was later released in America as the third single from Empty Glass (following " Let My Love Open the Door " and " A Little Is Enough "), reaching No. 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 . [6]
A music video for "Rough Boys" was also created, featuring Townshend in a pool room with other men. The video was the 122nd video shown on MTV . Also some clips from the video appeared on one of their promos on the channel's debut on August 1, 1981.
"Rough Boys" has generally been praised as one of Pete Townshend's greatest solo efforts. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised the song as a "blistering punk love letter" and called it a highlight of Empty Glass , while John Bergstrom of PopMatters said, "it’s rollicking and rowdy but really more pub rock than punk rock. In fact, it could almost be a more raw and ballsy Huey Lewis ." [7] [8] Rolling Stone claimed that the song "is the most overtly homoerotic song in [Townshend's] catalogue." [9]

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
What in the world's come all over me?
I ain't got a chance of one in three
Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line
But if you'll give me just a minute I'll be feeling fine
I am the one who can fade the heat
The one they all say just can't be beat
I'll shoot it to you straight and look you in the eye
So gimme just a minute and I'll tell you why
[Chorus]
I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy
[Verse 2]
I don't care how you look at me
Because I'm the one and you will see
We can make it work, we can make it by
So give me one more minute and I'll tell you why
[Chorus]
I'm a rough boy, I'm a rough boy
