"Blondes (Have More Fun)" is a song written by Rod Stewart and Jim Cregan that was originally released as the title track of Stewart's 1978 album Blondes Have More Fun. In some countries it was released as the third single off the album, following "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" and "Ain't Love a Bitch". It only reached the Top 70 in the UK, topping out at #63 but reached #23 in Ireland.[1][2][3][4] The song was covered by Vince Neil on the Japanese version of his album Exposed.[5]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic described the song as being a "winning track" in the same mold as "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" and "Ain't Love a Bitch".[6] Circus writer David Fricke suggested that the "stocky, swaggering sound" that Stewart's band achieves on the song "proves Stewart has not forgotten how to rock."[7] The Beaver County Times described the song as "a rollicking Chuck Berry-style rocker, complete with honky-tonk piano."[8] CD Review described the song as a "barrelhouse rocker."[9] The Albany Herald wrote that the "hardrocking" song is one of the highlights among the songs of "up and down love affairs" on the Blondes Have More Fun album.[10] Rolling Stone critic Janet Maslin described it as one of the three "tolerable" songs on the album.[11] The Ottawa Journal similarly called it the best song on the album.[12] Author Sharon Davis described the song as Stewart's last hit before 1983's "Baby Jane."[13] Graham Hicks of the Edmonton Journal described a live performance of the song as a "rhythm and blues number", blaming the production for what he considered the blandness of the recorded version.[14] Critic Dave Tianen rated the song as Stewarts 4th worst (two notches better than 2nd place "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy,") saying that it "would almost be beneath RuPaul."[15] But critic Mark Brown considered it to be "wonderful."[16]

"Blondes (Have More Fun)" was included on Rod Stewart's live video Live at the L.A. Forum.[17] A live version was also included on the 2014 album Tonight's the Night.[18]

The music video for the song was on MTV's first day.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}
