    This is a song no one expected Steven Tyler to write. In their autobiography, Walk this Way, Tyler wrote: That song ["Janie"] is about a girl getting raped and pillaged by her father. It's about incest, something that happens to a lot of kids who don't even find out about it until they find themselves trying to work through some major fucking neurosis. It's a song about abuse in America. The real fight was over the line "put a bullet in his brain," which John [Kalodner] wanted to change to "stand out in the pouring rain" because he was afraid they wouldn't play it on the radio.

    • @Jessica_Roth
      @Jessica_Roth Před rokem +29

      They compromised; "bullet in his brain" made the album version, but "stand out in the pouring rain" was on the radio edit.
      Kalodner did win one fight; the line "Jacked a little bitty baby" was originally the more-explicit "raped a little bitty baby", but Kalodner got that changed, because he convinced the group the song had potential as a single, and even having "rape" on the album version might discourage airplay.
      (Kalodner wasn't wrong: the song went to #4 in the US, #2 in Canada, and #1 in Australia. And, um…#76 in the UK. Get it together, UK!)

Uncle Salty, an Aerosmith song which preceded it by 14 years, was of a similar nature. I'm a big fan of their music from the 70s and those songs had a lot of depth to them as well.

  • @JoyfulOrb

    The two most storytelling lines of this song IMO are "He jived a little bitty baby the man would have to be insane" and "she said But No one would believe me, he was such a sleaze and now HE's never gonna be the same". What did her daddy do, indeed! I was the first song I'd ever heard both demonizing men(or father's) going after young girls and celebrating a young girl defending herself when she can't get help.

    Steven Tyler said in an interview that this was one of the most difficult songs they have composed in their entire career. While they were composing the melody, their constant obsession was that they had to express with the chords the despair and feeling of helplessness of Janie, a girl raped by her father who (as she can find a way out of her life) decides to get a gun and kill her aggressor. And without a doubt they managed to express it, with a nervous and dark melody, some bass drum hits that express the shots of the gun, and with the beautiful and personal voice of Steven Tyler more anguished than ever. The song is a masterpiece, one of my favorites from Aerosmith.

  • @JustTanya.

    This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. One of the first songs to actual discuss childhood sexual abuse, specifically by a family member. My cousins were molested and raped by their father, who did the same to me and other kids as well. It messes your head up bad. We're all still working through it almost 35 years later. Steven Tyler wrote a great song that brings this topic to light and the group did a brave thing to release it. Especially at that time when, even in the 90s, it was still a taboo subject. Now we are able to talk about it more but back then, it was a risk but they took it and it worked to really bring focus to this topic and Steven created a foundation from this as well.

    I remember the first time I heard this song I was driving in my car. I had just heard the intro before Steven started singing and I got chills all over my body. I felt like it was a deamon possessed song. It scared me. Then I listened to the words and really understood. I found this song to be profound. I could have been Janie. That was my story. The only difference was that I did not have a gun. At that point in time no one was talking about incest and/or child sexual abuse. There were little to no resources or help out there. It is better now but the problem is staggering. The harm it causes never leave. You may learn to cope well but many never do.

    The scarves - ha ha. When Aerosmith began, those scarves had little pockets in them were various pills, uppers, downers, speed, you name it, it was in there. The band as a whole had some real issues with drugs. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are referred to as the Toxic Twins. At one point, Joe left the band, drugs were part of the reason, his then wife was a bigger part. We should all be thankful they all overcame their demons and are still with us today.

      Very correct on the Toxic Twins. When Guns ‘n Roses opened for them as their Appetite for Destruction Tour, only fine as an opening act, I saw them open for Aerosmith in Columbia, Maryland. G’nR had to stay on stage for a longer set, as Aerosmith was still at their hotel due to an OD, so they arrived to the stage late.

      I had front row tickets to see Aerosmith in the middle of their drug days. When Joe was gone. It was the WORST concert of my life! The guitarist (reiterate- NOT Joe Perry) was spitting on the audience and holding out his leg for people to touch and then kicking. Steven Tyler got in his face onstage and yelled "you leave my audience the F*ck alone. I got crushed because people rushing to the seats we paid for. No crowd control whatsoever. Ended up watching the rest in seats sort of to the side and behind the stage. Roadie was ticked off and broke a guitar of a band member on purpose- a la "The Who"style. Such a dissapointment. I am glad they cleaned up. But for years I didn't want to attempt to see them live again, because it was such a terrible concert. I probably would try again and go now, if it wasn't for Covid keeping me from concerts for the time being.

    I’m so glad you guys heard the message, I’ve seen so many reactors completely miss the story and the fact that she was being abused. The supposed story behind this song is that Steven either read or watched a story about a girl being sexually abused by her father and he felt this was something that needed to be talked about so he decided to write a song and he already had the music of hook in his head so it’ll all came together that way. You guys would probably enjoy reading the Aerosmith autobiographies and Steven Tyler’s does the noise in my head bother you. And yes the scarf on the mike stand is a Steven Tyler trademark. He always does it, to this day. Another heartbreaking song that is about child abuse is hell is for children by pat benetar.

This was the first one I ever heard because I was about 9 when it came out and the video was on mtv all the time. Back then I didn’t really understand what it was about, I started to realize as I got older. And when I was about 13 I started listening to more older Aerosmith, the non hits and stuff and through my teens started becoming extremely into them, I love every decade of Aerosmith 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and even 2000’s. I love the extremely raw, bluesy early stuff but because my first experiences with Aerosmith were from the 80’s and 90’s I also love that stuff too. I know just about every Aerosmith song, I own every cd. And I also have many collaborations Steven has done with other because he’s my favorite singer of all time.

      I wouldn't call it historic. Most kids at that time walked away from Aerosmith because of that one song. At that time rappers where ripping off rock music to make their rap songs. They justified using rock songs because of the whole thing around Elvis stealing the black sound. To today I can't stand that song and still hold it against them for the collaboration. Aerosmith in one song put their stamp of approval that blacks started rock n roll. You only heard that song on MTV. You never heard it played on your local radio station.

You're one of those people who will jump through all kinds of hoops, rather than just simply admit you were wrong about something. There is no shame in being wrong about something. When I'm wrong about something, I WANT someone to let me know I'm wrong, so that I can learn something and not keep repeating wrong information about a subject in the future. It's a lot better than your response here. Your denial that you were wrong is so ridiculously easy to see through. Again... just allow yourself to be wrong... There is no shame in it.

    This is a really dark song if you listen to all the lyrics. It’s about a father raping his daughter and then the subsequent revenge killing. Apparently, their label didn’t think it was commercially viable due to the lyrics, but Tyler refused to change them and not only did it reach #4 on the charts, they also won a Grammy award for the song.

    I’ve seen Aerosmith many times spanning all decades since the 70s. You’re correct. There are always scarves / bandannas / cloth items that have from the microphone.
    IMHO, when you see them live, particularly in past years, where large screens weren’t available, those scarves would seem to take on a life of their own as the mic stand would be swung about.

I have to shout out one of the most underrated actresses, Lesley Ann Warren, who played the mother. She was in "Clue" and "Victor/Victoria" among many many other films and tv series. I feel in her few seconds on screen, she completely conveyed with only her face what was going on here storywise. It was a strong move for her appear in this video because it spurred a renaissance and entire new phase of her career, bringing her to an entire new generation of fans.
