Album: Just Push Play (2001)

License This Song 

• She gave you a flower
  The one that God gave her
  You all up in de kool-aid
  But you do not know the flavor
  Get into the zone baby
  And do yourself a favor
  Head down spin around
  Get a little refried
  If that don't get it you can
  Flip it on the b side
  
  Just push play
  Out of the way
  Just push play
  They're gonna do it anyway
  Just push play
  Right away
  Just push play
  We're comin' at you anyway
  
  Sweet leaf dreamer
  You been smoking up the ganja
  Damned if you do yeah
  But don't get any on ya
  Kickin' off the cashmere
  Putting on the kasbah
  It's a kiss, a diss
  And trade it for a coo hah
  
  Just push play
  Out of the way
  Just push play
  They're gonna do it anyway
  Just push play
  Right away
  Just push play
  We're comin' at you anyway
  
  Instead of growin' old
  All dapper and neat
  I'm gonna grow my hair
  Right down to my feet
  It's you and me baby
  No pimp daddy jack
  It's Cadillac wack no Cadillac wack back
  
  Just push play
  Just push play
  They're gonna do it anyway
  Just push play
  You're alright
  Just push play
  Everybody's dancing
  
  So DJ
  You gotta play anyway
  Walk this way
  We're comin' at you anyway
  
  Just push play
  Out of the way
  Just push play
  They're gonna do it anyway
  S'il vous plait
  Right away
  Just push play
  We're comin' at you anyway
  
  We're comin' at you anyway Writer/s: MARK JEFFREY HUDSON, STEPHEN EMIL DUDAS, STEVEN TYLER

• Seventhmist from 7th HeavenWho else noticed (at 2:27) the little cameo we get from the "Walk This Way" guitar riff?
• Vaalwrath from Somewhere In The The Milky Way Galaxy...I just recently got the Japanese version and can tell you the f-bombs are not bleeped out like they are in the American versions of the album, though in the later half of the album they do some of the bleeping like in the American version. But, for the most part, it's pretty clear-cut from beginning to end. Yet another advantage the Japanese have over us.
• Emily from Ocean Springs, MsIt is ironic, but I think that's where the line "they're gonna bleep it anyway" comes in.
• Homer from Springfield, KyWonderful song but has it ever occured to anyone that they cencored a song that was a protest against radio cencors so they could put it on the radio?
• Darrell from Dallas, TxGreat song, really catchy. And I disagree about the comment "...aren't worried about a "label"". Sure they are. That's why their music is "commercialized". At the end of the day, money talks, "my creative vision" walks.
• Gordon from Lake Havasu City, AzJust Push Play is an example of Aerosmith's determination to remain in the music scene today. The guitar riff is awesome, undeniably Joe Perry, the loop programing gives it a certain edge that makes it catchy, and Steven Tyler seems to derive great pleasure by screaming, f****n A! over and over in the chorus. It's a great party song, and I listen to it often.
• Donni from Somewhere, WaI like this song. I think Aerosmith is an awsome band...my favorite. Its amazing how Aerosmith isn't strictly under one genre of music. They are able to dabble in many different kinds of music. They're genius. They are very creative and aren't worried about a "label". I'm surprised nobody else commented on this song.
