Steven Tyler Aerosmith lyrics

Here are some lyrics to classic Aerosmith songs, written by 'The Screamin' Demon' himself
10
Walk This Way
-Toys in the Attic (1975)
-“Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care”

-These rapidly said lyrics confused even Rum-DMC, when they covered it in the 1980s, as a song on their Raising Hell, album, although they changed a few words

9
Livin' on the Edge
-Get a Grip (1993)
-“If you can judge a wise man by the color of his skin
Then mister you’re a better man than I”

-This was written almost exactly during the time of the L.A. riots surrounding Rodney King's subsequent beating and arrest by racist L.A. cops

8
Nine Lives
-Nine Lives (1997)
-“And then at times
I’m so weak from lovin’

I couldn't even carry a tune”

-This does not seem to go over so well with a lot of people

7
Let the Music Do the Talking
-Done with Mirrors (1985)
-They say one time around is all you get
But I'm still dancin’ so you lost your bet”

-This line was a reference to Joe Perry and Brad Whitford being back in the band

6
The Other Side
-Pump (1989)
-“You’re cryin’ me a river but I got to get across”
-When it comes to love, it seems Steven Tyler is ready for a song about it, with pen and paper in hand. In this song, he sings a story of a man lovesick, wanting to get out of the same old situation

5
Dream On
-Aerosmith (1973)
-“I know it’s everybody’s sin
You got to lose to know how to win”

-Listening to this song, you'd think Steven Tyler was a songwriter all his life. But he actually wrote this song when Aerosmith was starting out

4
Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)
-Nine Lives (1997)
-"Don’t give me no lip
I’ve got enough of my own"

-This line almost pokes a little fun at himself for having such big lips

3
F.I.N.E.
-Pump (1989)
-“She got the Cracker Jack now all I want’s the prize”
-The song, which stands for F---up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional, lets Steven Tyler to air out his dirty mind

2
Shut Up and Dance
-Get a Grip (1993)
-“When you're splittin’ hairs with Mr. Clean
It's like gettin’ head from a guillotine”

-Two guys named Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw helped 'The Toxic Twins' write this one, and only 'The Screamin' Demon' himself could have written the lyrics

1
Sweet Emotion
-Toys in the Attic (1975)
-"Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went"

-This song was a direct assault at Joe Perry's then wife, Elyssa Jerret. Back then, they had a less than friendly relationship and there was even one time when Elyssa brutally beat up Joe, leaving him bloodied and bruised, even biting him

Steven Tyler Provides Voice for New Movie 'Epic'

Steven Tyler
Yes, he does wear glasses
The new movie 'Epic' has a little surprise for all Aerosmith fans, affectionately dubbed by Aerosmith themselves as the "Blue Army". The lead singer provides his voice for the wise caterpillar named Nim Galuu. While some say he's an animated person already, this gives new meaning to the phrase

While watching the preview for the movie, and seeing his character come up, it's really difficult to miss that raspy voice of his. It's almost his trademark. He says that it was a dream come true, to do an animated movie.  “My whole life I wanted to be in one of these animated movies,” he continues  “I got my wish.”

"Walk This Way" Inspiration

Anyone who's an Aerosmith fan has probably heard this song before. For all anyone knows, reading this has it playing in your head right now. But, aren't you just the least bit curious as to how the "Boston Bad Boys" got the idea behind their hit song? Here's how
In the 1970s, Young Frankenstein had come out, and the band had gone to see it. There was the famous part in the movie where Dr. Frankenstein arrives at his destination and he is met by cockeyed Marty Feldman, who plays Igor. He then said "Walk this way." And that gave them an idea for a song. Later, Joe Perry was toying around with some guitar riffs, so Steven Tyler walks over to Joey Kramer's drum kit and starts playing and let it behold, Walk This Way was born

"The Toxic Twins" With Eddie Van Halen

Toxic Twins
On April 20, Van Halen has taken the stage at the Stone Music Festival in Sydney, Australia. And showing up were 'The Toxic Twins' themselves- Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith. But, also as a side note, Aerosmith was on the bill of artists there as well
