"Rag Doll" is a simple song, yet Aerosmith
manages to inject it with a feel that's infectious and undeniable. Individually they're phenomenal
musicians, but together, as a band, they take things to another level.
Maybe I'm spoiled, knowing how effortlessly Aerosmith locks into a groove, but in my humble opinion Ted Nugent's version of Rag Doll is an overwrought catastrophe, devoid of nuance or feel. Sorry Nuge fans ... the Motor City Mad Man can't hold a candle to the Boys from Boston. |

Rag Doll,
livin' in a movie Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie So fine, they'll never see ya leavin' by the back door, man Hot time, get it while it's easy Don't mind, come on up and see me Rag Doll, baby won't you do me Like you done before I'm feelin' like a bad boy Mmm, just like a bad boy I'm rippin' up a Rag Doll Like throwing away an old toy Some babe's talkin' real loud Talkin' all about the new crowd Try and sell me on an old dream A new version of the old scene Speak easy on the grape vine Keep shufflin' in the shoe shine Old tin lizzy, do it till you're dizzy Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery (Chorus) Yes, I'm movin', Yes I'm movin' Get ready for the big time Tap dancing on a land mine Yes I'm movin', Yes I'm movin' Old tin lizzy, do it till you're dizzy Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery (Chorus) Baby won't you do me, baby won't you do me.... Like you done before (huh huh) Yes, I'm movin', Yes I'm movin' Get ready for the big time Get crazy on the moonshine Yes, I'm movin', I'm really movin' Slow gin fizzy Do it till you're dizzy Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery (Repeat Chorus) |
