data di pubblicazione del singolo 1975, secondo singolo dell’album Toys in the Attic.
è uno dei brani più famosi degli Aerosmith, anche se forse l’interpretazione più conosciuta è quella di qualche anno più tardi, nel 1986 infatti la rock band ripropose il pezzo in una collaborazione con gli Run DMC, famoso gruppo rap.
Il magazine Rolling Stones ha stilato la classifica delle 500 migliori canzoni di tutti i tempi e il brano figura al 287º posto nella versione che vede questa fusione rock-rap.
personalmente amo molto gli Aerosmith, sono tanti i brani che vorrei farvi ascoltare (magari in futuro ne posterò qualcun’altro) però ho scelto questo per due motivi:
– mi è capitato casualmente sull’ipod dopo tanto tempo…ed è questo lo spirito di questa rubrica -.-‘
– questa canzone mi lascia una energia addosso impressionante, pubblico questo post di lunedì mattina e penso che tutti abbiano bisogno di molta energia per ricominciare la settimana!

VERSIONE ORIGINALE 1975 Aerosmith
TESTO
Backstroke lover
always hidin’ ‘neath the cover
Still I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain’t seen noting
’till you’re down on a muffin
Then you’re sure to be a-changin’ your ways
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I can remaniesse
’cause the best thing lovin’
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!
See-saw swingin’ with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin’ up in the air
Singin’ hey diddle-diddle
with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin’ like you just didn’t care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it 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
Ah, just give me a kiss – like this!
School girl sadie
with the classy
kinda sassy
Little skirt climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies
in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin’ at me
I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me
something I missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So I gave her just a little kiss, like this!
See-saw swingin’ with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin’ up in the air
Singin’ hey diddle-diddle
with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin’ like you just didn’t care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it 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
Ah, just give me a kiss – like this!
