[edit] Song information
This song was the first songwriting credit for Brad Whitford. It is also one of Aerosmith's harder rocking songs, and probably the hardest rocking song on Toys. The song was a step into both heavy metal and psychedelia for the band, with the heavy beat and dueling guitars forming a hard rock/heavy metal base, with the lyrics and the musical effects achieved in the studio adding a very psychedelic feeling to the song. The song was covered by Swedish blues rock band Half Man and appears on the Aerosmith tribute album Right in the Nuts.
