"Alex Chilton" is a song by American rock band the Replacements from their fifth studio album Pleased to Meet Me. The song was written as a homage to the Box Tops and Big Star frontman Alex Chilton, who was an idol of the band's who worked with them on several occasions. The song's hook was inspired by Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg's attempt to compliment one of Chilton's songs upon meeting him for the first time. "Alex Chilton" was released as a promotional single from the album and was accompanied by a music video that used footage from the band's banned video for "The Ledge." It has since received critical acclaim and has been named by many music writers as one of the band's greatest songs.
