Music Head Wrote:#416 - Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion - 1975

running recap for me - 3's=42, 2's=33, 1's=10
this one - ***
from the album: Toys In The Attic
Written by Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton
Produced by Jack Douglas
Chart action: #36 US

the players:
Steven Tyler - lead vocals, maracas, vibraslap
Joe Perry - lead guitar, talkbox
Brad Whitford - rhythm guitar
Tom Hamilton - bass
Joey Kramer - drums
Jay Messina- marimba

From my favorite album of theirs. It was the groups first top 40 hit and just a taste of things
to come. The charting gave the band an opening to re-release Dream On which brought them their
well deserved fame. The band chose to perform Sweet Emotion at their induction ceremony for the
R&R Hall Of Fame. Don't care much for the video that was released for this. Just close your
eyes and block out the talking, it's better that way.

Lyrics

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year


When some Sweat Hot mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

When I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did


You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I'll talk about something you're sure to understand
'Cause a month on the road an' I'll be eating from your hand

running recap for me - 3's=43, 2's=33, 1's=10
this one - ***
from the album: Nevermind
Written by Kurt Cobain
Produced by Butch Vig
Chart action: #28 UK

the players:
Kurt Cobain – lead and backing vocals, guitar
Dave Grohl – drums, backing vocals
Krist Novoselic – bass guitar

May be my favorite Nirvana track. It says the song addresses people outside of the underground
music community who did not understand the band's message. Isn't that what all rock stars that
are out of the mainstream say? What it means is you are not on the same drugs we are so you
don't get it. The fourth and final single from their best selling album but it only charted in
the UK. There was a video made for it which is a parody of 60's variety shows. Pretty bad and I
chose not to post it.

Lyrics

Sell the kids for food
weather changes moods
Spring is here again
reproductive glands

Hey - He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Don't know what it means, when I say:

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means when I say aahh ...

We can have some more - nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit - tender age in bloom

Hey - He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Don't know what it means, when I say:

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it means when I say aahh ...

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
Knows not what it mean's when I say:

He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means

Knows not what it means [x2]
Knows not what it means when I say aahh .
