  1. "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.
    En los años 80, durante la gira del álbum New Jersey, de Bon Jovi, la canción fue interpretada por los de Nueva Jersey junto a Steven Tyler y Joe Perry, de Aerosmith.
    Una confesión no sorprendente pero sí curiosa. Tyler revela en una entrevista en 2013 que la canción fue compuesta, mientras él y Joe Perry , esperaban por su dosis de cocaína, "Estábamos esperando que llegue nuestra dosis de cocaína. Joe estaba en el escenario; yo lo alcancé y empecé a tocar con él. ¿Quién diría que esa sesión se convertiría en algo más grande?", recordó el ex juez de American Idol.

  2. Run-DMC was an American hip hop group from Hollis, Queens, New York, founded in 1981 by Joseph Simmons, Darryl McDaniels, and Jason Mizell. Run-DMC is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential acts in the history of hip hop culture and one of the most famous hip-hop acts of the 1980s. Along with LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy, the group pioneered new school hip-hop music. Run-DMC was the first group in the genre to have a gold album (Run–D.M.C., 1984) and be nominated for a Grammy Award. They were the first to earn a platinum record (King of Rock, 1985), the first to earn a multiplatinum certification (Raising Hell, 1986), the first to have their videos broadcast on MTV, and the first to appear on American Bandstand and the cover of Rolling Stone. Run-DMC was the only hip hop act to perform at Live Aid in 1985.
    The group was among the first to highlight the importance of the MC and DJ relationship. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked them number 48 in their list of the greatest musical artists of all time. In 2007, Run-DMC was named "The Greatest Hip Hop Group of All Time" by MTV.com and "Greatest Hip Hop Artist of All Time" by VH1. In 2009, Run-DMC became the second hip hop group to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

  3. Now there's a backseat, lover
    That's always undercover
    And I talk 'til my daddy say
    Said you ain't seen, nothin'
    Til you're down on the 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 reminisce
    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
    She told me to
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    She told me to
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    Well just gimme a kiss!
    Ooh, a-like this!
    School girl, sleazy
    With a, classy kind of sassy
    Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
    There were 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 a little kiss, like this
    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
    She told me to
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    She told me to
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    Walk this way!
    Talk this way!
    Well just gimme some head!
