Music Quotes:

The light at the end of the tunnel could be you. I don't want to preach and say 'don't do it.' I just want everyone to know that I'm a survivor. I don't know if I would be sober if he wasn't sober or if the rest of the band wasn't sober.
- Steven Tyler - on substance abuse
These days it's almost like a lot of kids get into bands because they want to get rich and famous, but when we started this band that wasn't really part of it. I never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career. We weren't even aware of all the stuff that came with it. We just looked at the bands that we idolized - like the Yardbirds - and we were blown away by how they could play. All we wanted to do was play like that, to be a great band like that.
- Steven Tyler

Song Parody Fragments:

"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"
Better Lyrics:
Don't want to dot my i's
I don't want to cross my t's
'Cause I miss Eubanks
And I don't want a Misty, thanks
'Cause even when I drink a few
The sweetest drink was Mountain Dew
I still miss Eubanks
And I don't want a Misty, thanks.
Original Lyrics:
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I dont want to miss a thing.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Jaded"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
You've got your mama's smile
But your yesterdays child to me
Why They're Nonsensical:
So...what is this song about anyway. If it's what I think it's about, then Steven Tyler is robbing the cradle, so to speak.
Submitted by: MetaKnight
 

Insulting Lyrics:

"Dude Looks Like A Lady"
The Insulting Lyrics:
Dude looks like a lady
Why They're Insulting:
When Steve Tyler says this in the song he is referring to vince Neil of Motley Crue because he used to wear makeup in the Eighties like a lot of other hair metal bands( twisted sister,ect.)use to . but Vince Neil really looked like a girl with the makeup on.

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Shut Up and Dance"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Sex is like a gun
You aim, you shoot, hah hah, you run
When you're splittin' hairs with Mr. Clean
It's like getting head from a guillotine
And the night has just begun
Why They're Inappropriate:
The gun analogy implies that Steven Tyler is singing about rape, which I find disturbing. And "getting head from a guillotine"? I really don't want to think about that.
Submitted by: Monique
"Shut Up and Dance"

<''Cuz sex...is like...a gun...>

Dated Lyrics:

"Sweet Emotion"
The Dated Lyrics:
I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said i took it just a little to far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit gone died
Why They're Dated:
How long has it been since a rabbits ovarian changes indicated pregnancy? Side note: the rabbit always dies, pregnant or not because it had to be disected to inspect the ovaries.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Jaded"
The Lyrics:
I'm the one that jaded you
Why:
Same case with the Police submission by that other guy ("Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic"): you're supposed to refer to people as "who", not "what/that."
Submitted by: Jonathan S.
"Sweet Emotion"
The Lyrics:
Some sweet-talkin' mama with a face like a gent
Said my get-up-and-go must've got up and went
Why:
The line should have been "must've got up and gone." However, "gone" doesn't rhyme with "gent," therefore the bad grammar.
