Toys in the Attic is a drama film based on a play by Lillian Hellman, starring Dean Martin and Geraldine Page. It tells the story of a man who returns to New Orleans with his young wife and his spinster sisters, and faces betrayal and jealousy.
- “Toys in the Attic” During the gestation period of the album, Aerosmith convened at a barn converted into Black Angus Studios in Ashland, Mass., to flesh out some ideas before heading across I-95 to the Record Plant.
- “Uncle Salty” Tom Hamilton laid down the foundation for “Uncle Salty” on guitar, giving the bass player one of his two writing credits on the album. “[He comes up] with these slippery, slimy, melodically delicious out-of-the blue bass lines from practice,” Tyler said.
- “Adam’s Apple” Perry wanted to call the record Rocksinstead of Toys in the Attic. He’d get his wish for the follow-up, but Tyler wouldn’t be so lucky. His idea for the album’s title was Love at First Bite, which came from the chorus of “Adam’s Apple.”
- “Walk This Way” Though it’s best known for being the song that helped raise Aerosmith from the dead when they collaborated with Run-DMC for a remake in 1986, the origin of “Walk This Way” is uncertain.
