"I Like 'em Big and Stupid" was the debut single by comedian and singer Julie Brown. It was released in an independent pressing in 1984 in both 12-inch and 7-inch vinyl record formats. The song is a 1980s-style pop song with comedic lyrics about the protagonist's desire for a handsome, hunky muscle-stud who's not very bright (or as she sings, "Superman with a lobotomy"). The 12-inch version contained an extended dance mix and the song "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun", which would go on to receive some airplay on various Top 40 and Modern Rock stations in the US in 1984.

Brown re-recorded the song for her album Trapped in the Body of a White Girl, and it was filmed for inclusion in Earth Girls Are Easy, but this sequence was ultimately removed from the movie (the scene is included in the DVD extras) though it is heard playing in the background during a scene in the film. Additionally, Brown performed the song in the stage version of Earth Girls.

The cover of the single is a pastiche of the back cover of Madonna's Like a Virgin record. Brown would go on to be known for making fun of Madonna, particularly in her scathing mockumentary Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful.
