Song structure

The song is known for its distorted guitars, use of synthesizers (especially with drums and lyrics), and Steven Tyler's scat singing. The chorus of the song also features the phrase "fuckin' A" which is bleeped out through use of a turntable for much of the song; until the end, when the expletive can actually be heard a few times. The radio edit bleeps this out while the radio remix replaces the lyrics. The song also features a reference to "Walk This Way".

In other media

The song was performed heavily on Aerosmith's Just Push Play Tour and was also featured in Dodge Ram commercials, during the band's 2001 partnership with the car company. The song was also played during Aerosmith's performance at the historic United We Stand: What More Can I Give benefit concert in October 2001. The track was also included in Aerosmith's 2002 career-spanning compilation O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits, but was a radio-edit version of the track instead of the original.
