"Walk This Way" is a song by the American hard rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the 1975 album Toys in the Attic. It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977, part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s. In addition to being one of the songs that helped break Aerosmith into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also helped revitalize their career in the 1980s when it was covered by rappersRun–D.M.C. on their 1986 album Raising Hell. This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock, or the melding of rock and hip hop. It became an international hit and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap – Single in 1987.
Production
Music
The song starts out with a two measure drum beat intro by Joey Kramer, followed by the well known guitar riff by Joe Perry. The song proceeds with the main riff made famous by Perry and Brad Whitford on guitar with Tom Hamilton on bass. The song continues with rapid fire lyrics by Steven Tyler.
"Walk this way" is a recurrent pun in a number of movies and television shows, most recently in movies by Mel Brooks. It may be derived from an old vaudeville joke. It refers to the double usage of "way" in English as both a direction and a manner.
One version of the old joke goes like this: A heavy-set woman goes into a drug store and asks for talcum powder. The bowlegged clerk says, "Walk this way," and the woman answers, "If I could walk that way I would not need talcum powder!"
Another version adds a visual, not any less vaudevillian, dimension to the joke: One character would say, "Walk this way" and walks off in a limping or waddling or otherwise odd manner, and the second character would follow, mimicking the mannerisms of the first.
1930s-1960s
In After the Thin Man (1936), the butler says "Walk this way" (with stiff, bowed legs) and Nick Charles does.
In the Three Stooges short Don't Throw That Knife, a woman instructs the Stooges to walk this way and saunters off swinging her dress. The Stooges shrug and follow, imitating her.

Lyrics below:
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Backstroke lover,
Hidin' undercover
Still I talk to your daddy, he say:
"You ain't seen nothin'
'Til your down on a muffin
And I'm sure I can change your ways
Then I met cheerleader,
Was a real young pleaser
All the times I could reminisce
The best thing lovin'
Was a brother and a cousin
And it started with a little kiss,
Like this!
Walk this way,
Talk this way
Walk this way,
Talk this way
Walk this way,
Talk this way
Walk this way,
Talk this way
School girl Heidi
With her classy, kinda sassy
Little skirt climbin' way up her knees,
Three young ladies
In the school gym locker-
I noticed they were lookin' at me,
I was a high school loser,
Never made it with a fella
'Til my girls told me somethin' I missed
A next door neighbour,
With a son, had a favor
So I gave him just a little kiss,
Like this!
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Just gimme a kiss!
(Like this...)
See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And our feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey-diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You'll be swingin' like you just don't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With the boy - he was ready to play
Was it me he was foolin' 'cos he knew what he was doin'
When he told me how to walk this way?
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way, (Walk this way)
Talk this way (Talk this way)
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way
Walk this way
You wanna talk this way

"Walk This Way" is a song by the American hard rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the 1975 album Toys in the Attic. It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977, part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s. In addition to being one of the songs that helped break Aerosmith into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also helped revitalize their career in the 1980s when it was covered by rappersRun–D.M.C. on their 1986 album Raising Hell. This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock, or the melding of rock and hip hop. It became an international hit and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap – Single in 1987.

The song starts out with a two measure drum beat intro by Joey Kramer, followed by the well known guitar riff by Joe Perry. The song proceeds with the main riff made famous by Perry and Brad Whitford on guitar with Tom Hamilton on bass. The song continues with rapid fire lyrics by Steven Tyler.
