Best wishes to Steven Tyler today on his 63rd birthday. Earlier this year, he announced his engagement, so it has been very full year for Mr. Tyler so far. In honor of his birthday, I thought I would pick one of my favorite songs, although "Walk This Way" really is my favorite Aerosmith tune. We looked at that song in an earlier post. So, tonight, I've chosen "Rag Doll" in honor of Mr. Tyler. This song simply makes me laugh because the lyrics sound, well, a bit like jibberish. With all due respect to Mr. Tyler and Aerosmith, it is a great song, and the meaning is pretty straightforward..."Rag doll, livin' in a movie, hot tramp, daddy's little cutie, so fine, I never see ya leavin' by the backdoor...man." Yes, she is so fine that she doesn't need to sneak around--the guys are coming to her! Aha! So, she's got it made. Kudos, Rag Doll! I think my other favorite part of the song is the very end, when Tyler does a sort of bluesy/rock/pop skat sequence, and I swear he says, "bibbity bibbity bop...." Just be careful, because if you are watching the video, the very end has an extremely sloppy kiss between Tyler and his rag doll. Look out. Don't say I didn't warn you! Anyway, all kidding aside, many happy returns to the one, the only, the legendary Steven Tyler. Thank you, sir, for the fabulous musical gifts you have given us over the years. May you have many today in return!
