Success

"Sweet Emotion" was released as a single in 1975, and peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's breakthrough single and the first Top 40 hit for the band. Events January 2 - New York City US District Court Judge Richard Owen rules that former Beatle John Lennon and his lawyers The Top Forty or Top 40 is a music industry shorthand for the currently most-popular songs in a particular genre. The day it hit #36 on the U. S. chart, July 19, 1975, Aerosmith was booked at a gig in New York City's Central Park, called the Schaefer Music Festival. The song was so successful that the band decided to ride the heels of success and re-release their first single, "Dream On", which had originally charted at #59 in 1973. " Dream On " is the first single by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album Aerosmith. The re-released version went on to hit #6, the highest chart performance in the 1970s for the band.

Lyrical interpretation

Many Aerosmith fans believe that Steven Tyler wrote all of the lyrics to the song about the tension and hatred between the band members and Joe Perry's wife. Anthony Joseph "Joe" Perry (Born September 10, 1950 in Lawrence Massachusetts) is the lead Guitarist, backing and occasional While this is partially true, Steven Tyler himself has said that only some of the lyrics were inspired by Perry's wife. It was stated in Aerosmith's tell-all autobiography Walk This Way and in an episode of Behind the Music that growing feuds between the band members' wives (including an incident involving "spilt milk") may have helped lead to the band's original lineup dissolving in the early 1980s. Walk This Way The Autobiography of Aerosmith (ISBN 0-3809-7594-7 was written by Stephen Davis, published by HarperCollins and released in October

In the film Be Cool, John Travolta determined that Steven Tyler wrote "Sweet Emotion" because the emotion he felt as being a father for the first time. This interpretation cannot be true because Tyler's first born, Liv Tyler, was born in 1977; 2 years after the song was written. Liv Rundgren Tyler She is the first born daughter of Bebe Buell, a model singer and former Playboy Playmate (Miss November 1974 and Steven Tyler, the lead

Music Video

The video for the re-released version (mentioned in a later section) is said to be based on a phone sex conversation. Phone sex is a type of Virtual sex that refers to sexually explicit conversation between two or more persons via telephone especially when at least one of the participants In the video, it shows a young man under his covers with a magazine which is advertising a phone sex line. Magazines, periodicals or serials are Publications generally published on a regular schedule containing a variety of articles, generally The boy and girl talk about each other for a bit, until it goes into a shot of the band performing in someone's basement (This portion of the video was actually recorded in the band's old apartment on 1325 Commonwealth Ave. in Boston) It switches in between Aerosmith performing Sweet Emotion and the phone conversation. At the very end, it is revealed that the sexy woman the young man is talking with is not what he sees her as in his mind. She is shown to be an overweight older woman with a baby living in a poor house.

Song structure

The beginning of the song is a repeating bass riff by Tom Hamilton that continues throughout the rest of the song. There is also usage of a talk-box in the beginning by Joe Perry, which has become one of the more popular and famous uses of the guitar talk box in popular music (Joe Perry can be heard saying the title). A talk box is an effects device that allows a musician to modify the sound of a Musical instrument. Eventually Steven Tyler joins in, saying "Sweet Emotion" slowly, in sync with the talk-box, or vocoder. After that, the song kicks into a more rocking number with dueling guitars, and rapid-fire angry-sounding lyrics by Steven Tyler. The chorus in the song consists of a repeating guitar riff followed by a slow singing of "Sweet Emotion" twice. The band supposedly used a packet of sugar as the percussion instrument for the intro. In live performance this sound is duplicated by Steven Tyler with maracas.

On Aerosmith's Greatest Hits, the 1980 compilation album, "Sweet Emotion" appears in edited form. Greatest Hits is Aerosmith 's first standard " Greatest hits " Compilation album. The bass solo and vocoder part that opens the song has been cut, and the track begins with the chorus that precedes the first verse. The guitar solo at the end of the song was also exised, and the track concludes with the chorus, which repeats as the song fades out. This same edit was used for the original single release of the song, which was quickly replaced in subsequent pressings with the album version from Toys in the Attic.

Live in concert

Ever since its inception, the song has been a live staple at Aerosmith concerts, and even to this day, the band almost never omits it from the setlist. Live, this song is Joe Perry's feature solo spot, of late complete with elaborate lights, smoke, theremin, and a variety of guitar tricks, as well as an extended guitar solo. The song is also a feature live spot for Tom Hamilton, as it is one of the more prominent Aerosmith songs featuring an opening bass solo. He often does an extended bass solo before the band goes into the song. In concert, Steven Tyler is also known to substitute racier lyrics such as "I'll be cummin' in your hand" instead of "I'll be eatin' from your hand"; has also on occasion replaced "I can't say baby where I'll be in a year" with "I've got the garage but I'll park it in the rear" (a seeming reference to anal sex); and is also known to grab or point to his crotch, during the lyrics "my get up and go". Anal sex most often refers to the sex act involving insertion of the Penis into the Rectum. Steven Tyler also often encourages the crowd to chant "yeah. . . yeah. . . yeah. . . " during the repeating guitar riffs preceding the choruses.
