"Heterosexual Man" led the way for Bedbugs, the Canadian band's second album, in 1993, and it's the one that got the Odds heard south of the border: their first song to land on American radio, climbing to 44 on the Radio & Records album-rock chart, while at home it topped the RPM Canadian Content chart.

The video is where the joke really lands. The band play it in drag, while Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and Mark McKinney of The Kids in the Hall, no strangers to a dress themselves, turn up in the crowd as a pack of macho jocks, right up until Foley, for no reason anyone explains, turns into a woman. The song later found its way into the 1995 film Jury Duty.
