Godiva (or Godgifu) (fl. 1040-1080) was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry in England in order to gain a remission of the oppressive toll imposed by her husband on his tenants. The name "peeping Tom" for a voyeur comes from later versions of this legend in which a man named Tom watched her ride and was struck blind.
A Lady is a woman who is the counterpart of a Lord, as opposed to lady, the counterpart of a gentleman. For the counterpart of a Laird see Lady.
"Lady" is a popular song written and performed by the rock band Styx. It was first released on Styx II in September 1972 and was a local hit in the band's native Chicago, but failed to chart nationally. The song gained success when Styx left Wooden Nickel Records to move to A&M Records, and the song was re-released in 1974, peaking at #6. It was written by Dennis DeYoung for his wife.
The track would be re-recorded for the 1995 Styx compilation Styx Greatest Hits due to a contractual dispute between A&M and Wooden Nickel.
This song has been featured in various television programs, including episodes of The Simpsons , Freaks and Geeks, The Office, and Still Standing. It has also appeared in films such as The Perfect Man and Old School.
