The song is about a girl named Janie who takes revenge on her father after being abused by him; it is one of the few Aerosmith songs to deal with a heavy social issue. The line "He jacked a little bitty baby" was originally "He raped a little bitty baby," but was changed for commercial purposes. In addition, the line "...and put a bullet in his brain" was sometimes changed to "...and left him in the pouring rain" for the radio airplay version to make the song sound less graphic.
pencilman i not sure but i think i think this song is on guitar hero aerosmith i mean it has to be why would u make aerosmith and not put this on there
Janies father beat her every day and raper her when she was a babie and then when she went to the police they didnt believe her so she shot and killer her dad....
He didn't rape her when she WAS a baby, its just a term. This is an amazing song, just the whole composition of it is great, good heavy bass line with powerful lyrics from when of the greatest singers this world's ever seen.
there are too many janies in this world, I am glad someone had the balls to address the issue, and to do it in such a tasteful manner, so easy for this to happen, and so hard to ever get away from. there is unfortunately no running away for many Janie girls and boys out there. And the aftermath continues for life, but there are ways to deal with and cope with these issues. Each person is unique and has their own way. Violence is often a last resort for the Janies of this world.
I'm not a man, but a girl. But I could care less! Just to clear all that up. :)
This is what seperates me from the rest of the "girl" crowd at skool. Theyre all in to Taylor Swift, Hannah Montana, and Jonas Brothers. BLARG!!!! And wear...PINK! And abercome, aeropostale stuff. ALL THEY EVER WEAR! You will never see the day of me wearing pink. Ever.
I am a true rocker! I still dress like it was in the 80s, but wear some new classic band shirts like ACDC and Aerosmith. I WANT to get a double piercing in one ear and hair like "Welcome to the Jungle" Axl Rose, but my mom wont let me. GUITAR HERO DID NOT CHANGE ME!! Ive always been a rocker! I listen to bands like ACDC, Aerosmith, Guns 'n Roses, Def Leppard, Led Zeppelin, and Rolling Stones just to name a few. >:P
Wooo you go girl! I love the 80s although i wasn't born until the early 90s...but I LOVE Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, some Alice Cooper, Poison, Motley Crue and Journey.
I don't even have Guitar Hero/Rock Band so I'm a true rocker too.
I'm so different from the girls at my school too-I' like a freakin outcast because i don't want to dress like them -all preppy and listen to all the modern stuff they listen to.
Me too! Well, most of the "girl" crowd people are my friends, but they arent into ANYTHING that I like! The only modern song I listen to is Disturbia. Just for the "Bum bum dee dum bum bum deh dum dum" part. The rest...all 80s.
I have guitar hero, but I was into rock WAAAY before that came out.
I used to be in the "in" crowd but then they got all too preppy on me and I didn't change- I stayed ME. Let's see..I like the Taylor Swift song "You Belong with me" (the video is awesome) and i think thats the only modern song excpet all Bon Jovi's new stuff that i listen to. I seriously need to get guitar hero or Rock Band! :)
True. Very true. Rock might have been better in the past, but legendary bands like Aerosmith made an impact and their songs will live on. So if u say Aerosmith or Zepplian sucks, i don't give a crap about u cuz u suck.
