So one could say something like "Hey, there's this girl who is really into me, and we did it a couple times, but I need to tell her that it's not really going to work out.
Maybe it's just a filler phrase that Steven Tyler made up, sort of along the lines of "Oh well!" or "What're you gonna do?" What do the words "sweet emotion" have to do with the content of this song? I really want to know. While you wait, maybe you'd enjoy seeing a disgusting picture of Steven Tyler with his ass hanging out? I know I was thrilled to find it! And hey! Maybe you'd like to buy an Aerosmith lottery ticket? If that article doesn't entice you, maybe this commercial in which a goldfish somehow drives a car will do the trick! Fourth, if the pronoun "you" still has the same unnamed antecedent as it did in Verse 1, why are you responding to this criticism by citing your seduction of a woman that you hold in such seemingly low esteem? And fifth, oh my god, really? "The backstage boogie set your pants on fire"? She was just probably mistaken about your loss of sexual prowess. Third, I don't think it's fair to call this woman a liar. First of all, what does this have to do with anything? Secondly, why are you so concerned with this seemingly casual insult from a " sweat hog mama"? You seem kind of insecure. When some sweat hog 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 He is feeling some sort of emotion, probably apprehension, I guess, and for some reason this is sweet. Steven Tyler knows a girl, and the girl likes him, but he's not especially into her and wants to let her know that he doesn't see this becoming a serious relationship. OK, up to this point the song makes at least a modicum of sense. You're calling my name but I gotta make clear / I can't say, baby, where I'll be in a year
So, what emotion is Steven Tyler feeling here? Contempt? Disgust? Confusion? You talk about things that nobody cares / You're wearing out things that nobody wearsįirst line is grammatically incorrect. It really doesn't matter what emotion you're feeling - lust, despair, surprise, angst, contempt, optimism, rage, zest - it's always pretty sweet.
OK, enough monkeying around! Ha ha! (muffled sob)īefore we start with the lyrics, please enjoy this creepy video! I like the part when it appears that Steven Tyler and one of his band-mates (I refuse to learn their names) are on the verge of making out. Many critics feel that while Aerosmith's later work was more polished and enjoyed great commercial success, it didn't quite have the same spark, much like the recordings of Pink Floyd post-Syd Barrett. Little-known fact, though, and here's where I blow your mind - this monkey got a songwriting credit for "Sweet Emotion." He was later kicked out of the band because of "creative differences" with Steven Tyler, and because he demanded 100 freshly peeled bananas each day before he would write a single word. Ha! This funny-looking celebrity would not fit in in the Real America with us hard-working Joes! All the solid gold toilets in the world won't change the fact that he looks similar to a monkey when he makes a certain facial expression! Because cheap laughs that make us feel bad about ourselves later is what we're all about here at Awesomely Bad Lyrics, please enjoy this picture!
