"Big Wheel" is a song written and recorded by Tori Amos. It has been chosen as the first single from her album American Doll Posse. However, multiple radio stations have rejected "Big Wheel" because the acronym MILF is repeated in the bridge of the song. An edited version was played on the radio which eliminates the MILF acronym, changing it to "M-I-M-I". For the week ending April 6, 2007, the single was the most-added to Triple A radio stations across the United States. The single became available as a digital download on April 10, 2007.

The song peaked at # 6 on the Triple A charts[1], # 115 on Hot Digital Songs, and # 12 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.[2] The music video premiered on Yahoo! Music on April 18, 2007.
