RUN DMC

WALK THIS WAY
Es una canción de la banda de hard rock Aerosmith. Fue compuesta por Steven Tyler y Joe Perry, y lanzada originalmente como sencillo de su álbum Toys in the Attic de 1975. Alcanzó la posición #10 en el Billboard Hot 100 a principios de 1977. Fue una de las canciones que ayudaron a elevar a Aerosmith al éxito durante los 70.
En 1986 la canción fue regrabada por Run DMC y Aerosmith, para el disco de los "Rappers" Raising Hell. El sencillo se convirtió en un éxito, siendo merecedor del premio "Soul Train Music Award" para el mejor sencillo de Rap,
en 1987. La versión actuó en dos sentidos, ayudando por una parte a
relanzar la carrera de Aerosmith, minada por problemas de drogas y
separaciones en el seno del grupo, y por otro lado, ayudó a popularizar
el Rap entre
los seguidores del Rock, originariamente reticentes a la nueva
tendencia, siendo de esta manera una de las primeras colaboraciones
entre un grupo de Rock y uno de Rap, comúnmente citada como precedente de estilos que luego se darían en llamar como Rock de fusión, Crossover o Rapcore, según país, variaciones entre fusiones, o tipo de crítica especializada que los definiese.
[Run-D.M.C.]
Now there's a backseat/lover
That's always under/cover
And I talk til my daddy say
Said you ain't seen/nuthin
Til you're down on her/muffin
And there's sure to be a change in ways
Now there's a cheer/leader
That's a real big/pleaser
As far as I can remi/nisce
But the best thing/love it
Was her sister and her/cousin
And it started with a little kiss, like this
She starts/swingin
With the boys in/tune
And her feet just fly up in the air
Singin hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
And they swingin like it just don't care
So I took a big/chance
At the high school/dance
With a lady who was ready to play
It wasn't me she was/foolin
Cause she knew what was she was/doin
when she told me how to walk this way
[Chorus: Run-D.M.C. and Aerosmith]
She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!
[repeat 2X]
[repeat all 2X]
Well just gimme a kiss/some head!
Oooh, a-like this!
[Run-D.M.C.]
School girl/sleazy
With a/classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin way up her knee
It was three young ladies
In the school gym/locker
And they find they were lookin D
I was high school/loser
Never made it with a/lady
Til a boy told me somethin I missed
That my next door/neighbor
had a daughter/had a favor
And I gave the girl just a little kiss, like this
[Aerosmith]
She starts swingin with the boys in the school
with her feet flyin up in the air
Singing hey diddle diddle with a kitty in the middle
I was swingin like I didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a miss who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin cause she knew what she was doin
when she told me how to walk this way
[Chorus]
