Can anybody tell me how Aerosmith got the name for their hit song "Walk This Way"?

Question

Just to see who knows what about Aerosmith, the best rock band in the world.

Answer 1

We were rehearsing that riff, and I don't think Steven was even around that day as we practiced it and arranged it. And that night we went with Jack Douglas ("Toys In the Attic" producer) to the movies and saw "Young Frankenstein". There's that part in the movie where Igor says, "walk this way," and the other guy walks the same way with the hump and everything. We thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever seen in our lives. So we told Steven, the name of this song has got to be :Walk This Way" and he took it from there.

Answer 2

On Behind the Music they told this story about them being in a recording studio, trying to write a new song. They'd been at it for days and nothing sounded good. Finally they decided to go to a bar and take a break. After a whole lot of drinking, they decided to head back to the studio and were making fun of the way each other was walking. Someone said, "Walk this way," and Steven Tyler had an epiphany. They said he went to the studio and wrote the song in about 30 minutes.

Answer 3

The song title was inspired from a line in the movie Young Frankenstein spoken by the character Igor( played by Marty Feldmen). He is leading the women (played by Madeline Kahn) into the castle.

Answer 4

There is a famous scene in the movie “Young Frankenstein” by Mel Brooks where one of the characters says “walk this way”…it is probably on youtube
