What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



My favorite Aerosmith album, and I think the only one that would reach a love rating. Their third album and although not reaching their peak yet, Walk This Way was the biggest hit thus far. Sweet Emotion was the debut single. It only reached #36 on the charts here with Walk This Way going to #10. I will add that I totally hated the Run DMC version of this song which was a big hit. This album peaked at #11. It went on to become their second best selling album after Get A Grip. I guess those two singles rank 1-2 for me here but I love three others also. This was back in my limited head banging days and it has held up all these years. Unrelated here but I might add, Steven Tylers stint on American Idol thus far, has given me some new respect for the guy.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - You See Me Crying

Best Track - Walk This Way

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
'Til I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' 'til you're down on a muff and
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your way
I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
A like this

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

A just gimme a kiss

School girl sweetie with a sassy kinda classy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
It was three young ladies in a school gym locker
When I noticed they were lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me something I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
A like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing hey diddle diddy
Wit'cha kitty in the middle of the swing like ya didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Talk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Talk this way

A just gimme a kiss
