Perry and Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with Tyler, Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith; in 1971, Tabano was replaced by Whitford. They released a string of multi-platinum albums starting with their eponymous debut in 1973, followed by Get Your Wings in 1974. The band broke into the mainstream with Toys in the Attic (1975) and Rocks (1976). Draw the Line and Night in the Ruts followed in 1977 and 1979. Throughout the 1970s, the band toured extensively and charted a dozen Hot 100 singles, including their first Top 40 hit "Sweet Emotion" and the Top 10 hits "Dream On" and "Walk This Way". By the end of the decade, they were among the most popular hard rock bands in the world and developed a following of fans, often referred to as the "Blue Army". Drug addiction and internal conflict led to the departures of Perry and Whitford in 1979 and 1981. The band did not fare well and the album Rock in a Hard Place (1982) failed to match previous successes.
Perry and Whitford returned to Aerosmith in 1984. After a comeback tour, they recorded Done with Mirrors (1985), which did not meet commercial expectations. It was not until a 1986 collaboration with rap group Run-D.M.C. on a remake of "Walk This Way", and the 1987 multi-platinum release, Permanent Vacation, that they regained their previous level of popularity. In the late 1980s and 1990s, the band won numerous awards for music from the multi-platinum albums Pump (1989), Get a Grip (1993), and Nine Lives (1997), while they embarked on their most extensive concert tours to date. Their biggest hits during this period included "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)", "Angel", "Rag Doll", "Love in an Elevator", "Janie's Got a Gun", "What it Takes", "Livin' on the Edge", "Cryin'", and "Crazy". The band also filmed popular music videos and made notable appearances in television, film, and video games. In 1998, they achieved their first number-one hit with "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from Armageddon's soundtrack and the following year, their roller coaster attraction opened at Walt Disney World. Their comeback has been described as one of the most remarkable and spectacular in rock history. Additional albums Just Push Play (which included the hit "Jaded"), Honkin' on Bobo (a collection of blues covers), and Music from Another Dimension! followed in 2001, 2004, and 2012. In 2008, they released Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, which is considered to be the best-selling band-centric video game. After five decades, the band continues to tour and record music. From 2019–2022, the band had a concert residency in Las Vegas, which was interrupted from 2020–2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aerosmith is the best-selling American hard rock band of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide, including over 85 million records in the United States. With 25 gold, 18 platinum, and 12 multi-platinum albums, they hold the record for the most total certifications by an American group and are tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an American group. They have achieved twenty-one Top 40 hits on the US Hot 100, nine number-one Mainstream Rock hits, four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, and ten MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, and were ranked number 57 and 30, respectively, on Rolling Stone's and VH1's lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2013, Tyler and Perry were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 2020, the band received the MusiCares Person of the Year award.

Girls of Summer
Aerosmith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In half the time it takes to blink
But it all depends on what' choo think
About the girls of summer
When all you think of all day long
Is a pretty face inside a song
With a thought like that you can't go wrong
(What do you know, what everybody's talking about)
Some girls are all about it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some girls can't live without it
Some girls are born to make you cry
Over and over again
My favorite thing that drives me wild
Is when a city girl walks a country mile
For a boy she loves
God bless the child inside the girls of summer
(What do you know, what everybody's talking about)
Some girls are all about it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some girls can't live without it
Some girls are born to make you cry
Yeah over and over again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
They get'choo climbin' the walls
They get'choo caught in their spell
They get'choo speakin' in tongues
Could this be heaven or hell
To fall in love twice a day
Is such a sweet price to pay
S'il vous plaît
The best things about life are free
The pussy willow up your tree
To the one who climbs they'll always be the girl yeah
Some girls are all about it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some girls no doubt about it
Some girls are born to make you cry
Some girls can't live without it
Some girls got twenty reasons why
Over and over and over and over and over
In the song "Girls of Summer" by Aerosmith, the lyrics talk about the fleeting time during the summer when everything seems to be full of possibility and adventure. The song starts by describing how quickly the winter turns to summer, and how it all depends on our perception or what we think about the girls of summer, suggesting that they represent the spirit of this carefree season. The chorus declares that while some girls are all about the wild side, some can't live without it, and some are born to make you cry, they all make for an exciting ride. The lyrics go on to describe how falling in love during this season feels like heaven, as they paint the picture of a city girl walking a country mile for a boy she loves, highlighting how the smallest things can bring immense joy in the summer.
The bridge of the song talks about how the girls of summer can get under your skin and make you feel like you're in heaven or hell simultaneously. They make you climb walls; you get caught in their spell, and they make you speak in tongues. Despite all of that, to fall in love twice a day is a sweet price to pay for the best things in life are free, and the pussy willow up in the tree is a marker of the joys of summer.
Line by Line Meaning
When winter hush turns summer pink
When the quietness of winter turns into the warmth of summer
In half the time it takes to blink
Very quickly
But it all depends on what' choo think
It varies per perspective
About the girls of summer
Regarding the women of the summer season
When all you think of all day long
When you constantly think about
Is a pretty face inside a song
Aesthetically pleasing person that you hear in music
With a thought like that you can't go wrong
Having that thought is infallible
Some girls are all about it
Some women are completely focused on it
Some girls they love to let it fly
Some women love to let loose
Some girls can't live without it
Some women can't survive without it
Some girls are born to make you cry
Certain women are made to bring tears
My favorite thing that drives me wild
Something that makes me ecstatic
Is when a city girl walks a country mile
When a woman from the city travels far distances
For a boy she loves
For a man that she is fond of
God bless the child inside the girls of summer
May the young aspects of women in summertime be blessed
They get'choo climbin' the walls
They make you go crazy
They get'choo caught in their spell
They charm you
They get'choo speakin' in tongues
They make you speak gibberish
Could this be heaven or hell
Is this pleasure or pain?
To fall in love twice a day
To experience love once is great, twice is amazing
Is such a sweet price to pay
It's worth the effort
The best things about life are free
The greatest things in life cannot be bought
The pussy willow up your tree
A type of tree with seed clusters that resembles fur
To the one who climbs they'll always be the girl yeah
To whoever reaches the top, she will always be the woman
Some girls no doubt about it
Certain women without a doubt
Some girls got twenty reasons why
Some women have a lot of reasons
Over and over and over and over and over
Repeatedly
