Big Ten Inch Record

Song

"Big Ten-Inch Record"

Performed by Aerosmith on "Toys in the Attic"(1975)

Guitar parts performed by Joe Perry and Brad Whitford

"I was listening to a tape of Dr.Demento given me by an old friend of

ours called Zonk, and I heard this song, which is originally from like 1936.

The big rumor is that I say, 'Suck on my big 10 inch' on the record. I

don't. I'm saying 'cept'-as in except-not 'suck.' But no one in the whole

world believes me."

-Steven Tyler

This is what I came up with for the solo. It seems pretty accurate

but I'm still a bit cautious because it's the first time that I figured out

a somewhat difficult solo. This is the solo on the album, by the way. I'm

aware that their live versions(Unplugged,etc.)are a bit different in that

they contain solos by Joe, Brad and Tom Ghimbel(saxophone)but this is the

Toys in the Attic version and therefore, this is the only guitar solo.

You'll have to work out the timing on your own because all I did was put two

spaces in between notes. Anyway, here it is:

The chord progression for the rest of the song is the same. The rest of the

lyrics go like this:

Last night I tried to tease her

I gave my love a little pinch

But she said "Now stop that jivin'

now whip out your big ten-inch

(chorus)

I'll cover her with kisses

and when we're in a lover's clinch

she gets all excited

but then she puts on my big ten-inch

(chorus)

My gal don't go for smokin'

and liquor just makes her flinch

Seems she don't go for nothin'

'cept for my big ten-inch

(chorus)
