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" and 7" vinyl record formats. The song is a very 80's 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" version played an extended dance mix and the song "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun," which would go on to become one of Brown's biggest hits nearly 3 years later.

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.
