“Lisa” by Lita Ford
From the album Stiletto (1990)
“Lisa” by Lita Ford appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1990. It was first released in 1990 on the album Stiletto. Its best result is #984 on the Z-Rock Top 1001 Songs of All-Time (1990). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #2,405 hard rock song of all time.
Lita Ford wrote "Lisa" with Michael Dan Ehmig for Stiletto, her fourth solo album, released in 1990, and it turns the spotlight somewhere personal: the song is about her mother. It went out as one of the album's singles, alongside "Hungry". Mike Chapman produced it, David Ezrin arranged it and played keyboards, and Ford sings lead and plays guitar over Donnie Nossov's electric bass and Myron Grombacher's drums and percussion.
The record around it is pop-metal that treats the CD-age studio as a funhouse, dressed up with synthesized strings and horns and, as critic Chuck Eddy noted, all sorts of incidental electronic trickery. Ford took it out on the road with Mötley Crüe.
