Aerosmith - Love In An Elevator

"And THAT'S how a song is made, kids."

I'm old AF. Remember the very day this premiered on MTV. It still rocks.

This song should NEVER start without that beginning line: "Oh, hello, Mr. Tyler! Going..........DOWN?"

This song never gets old, it'll be kicking ass 100 years from now.

His face when he first sees her is so priceless

''And that kids is how I met your mother''

This is one of the most perfect songs ever made. The ending harmonizing part gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

These guys are all such dynamic performers, especially Tyler & Perry. They write some fantastically catchy tunes and just seem to be having an absolute blast on stage! Rock n’ Roll needs more of this! I like the grunge era “downer/morose” rock too, but Aerosmith is rock n’ roll personified!

I never think of elevators the same after this song came out.

Aerosmith, such raw rock perfection. One of the greatest rock bands ever !

This is such a creative song. There's a lengthy (and incredible) instrumental section, horns, trippy effects, and an acapella ending - and it's still catchy as hell and rocks damn hard. Aerosmith were incredible songwriters.

Who's listening in 2024?

One of their best songs. Pump confirmed that Aerosmith was back with a vengeance after some obscure years. This one and "What it Takes" remain as classics of late 80's american rock n' roll. A little glossy, yes (though not as overproduced as their 90s material) but full of sleazy, unadulterated blues rock. While Whitford and Hamilton provide a kinky rhythm section, accentuated by your typical hair metal bluesy drum pattern (though Kramer could run circles around his contemporaries) Joe Perry is melting faces with the solos and Tyler is giving his best performance in years. Always puts a smile on my face. Great times.

lyrics Aerosmith - Love in an Elevator Workin' like a dog For the boss man (whoa) Workin' for the company (whoa, yeah) Bettin' on the dice I'm tossin' (whoa) I'm gonna have a fantasy (whoa, yeah) Where am I gonna look? They tell me that love is blind I really need a girl like an open book To read between the lines Love in an elevator Livin' it up when I'm going down Love in an elevator Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground Shakin' in the elevator (whoa) Lingerie second floor (whoa, yeah) She said can I see you later (whoa) And love you just a little more (whoa, yeah) I kinda hope we get stuck Nobody gets out alive She said "I'll show you how to Fax in the mailroom honey And have you home by five" Love in an elevator Livin' it up when I'm going down Love in an elevator Lovin' it up 'til I hit the ground In the air, in the air Honey one more time now it ain't fair Love in an elevator Lovin' it up when I'm going down (Love in an) Elevato-o-o-o-o-o-or Going down Love in an elevator Lovin' it up when I'm going down Love in an elevator Livin' it up when I hit the ground Gonna be a penthouse pauper (whoa) Gonna be a millionaire (whoa, yeah) Gonna be a real fast talker (whoa) And have me a love affair (whoa, yeah) Gotta get my timing right It's a test that I got to pass I'll chase you all the way To the stairway honey Kiss your sassafrass Love in an elevator Lovin' it up when I'm going down Love in an elevator Livin' it up when I hit the ground In the air, in the air Honey one more time now it ain't fair

The energy of the music from this era is incredible

80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !

The harmony at the end cured my depression

Mr. Whitford and Joe freaking Perry killed those solos.

Aerosmith... Father Tyler, Perry, Witford, Hamilton and Kramer know how to masterfully create a timeless good rockin' tune.Pure awesomeness. Pure sexy rock n' rollin' greatness. My respects to all of them.

Its not a song its a masterpiece
