Wham Bam is an Aerosmith outtake or demo from the Get a Grip album originally written by Tyler and Perry with the help of Richi Supa.
This is a special version of "Wham Bam" as its a cover by peruvian fan Gonzalo Collarte a.k.a. "Gonzaloc!". This demo was recorded using Sonar 7 using only a home pc, 1 cheap Peavy electric guitar, 1 electro acoustic guitar, 1 $40 microphone and a keyboard. All the instruments in this demo were performed by Gonzaloc during 2008 and january 2009. Demo recorded, edited, tracks programed and mixed by Gonzalo Collarte. This version was builted with taking as source the live version of the song, the studio samples, full online lyrics of the song and personal Aerosmith taste. The outro of this demo song and other minor arragements Copyright © 2008 by Gonzalo Collarte.
It was played only one known time, in the 05-08-1994 at the Marcus Amphitheater Milwaukee, WI show. Just listening to the lyrics you can notice that Steven didn't recall all the lyrics right, comparing them with the one in www.rockthisway.de (or the old www.aerosmith.com) it is almost the same, but Steven always changes some lyrics live.
Wham Bam was kicked off the album after it was dropped after the A&M attempt in 1992, as it was played live in 1994 its belived to have been consideres for Big Ones.
More recently its been confirmed in 2006 that the song had been re-worked and considered for the new album. Its yet to be seen if it will make it to the new album.
Wham Bam
(Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Richi Supa)
I got a hole in my heart
Lord I gotta do some patchin',
Got the seven year itch, girl,
We gotta do some scratchin',
Lay down momma
Got a holy resurrection,
You got the uu-ii baby
This is sweeter than confection, ha ha, oh
You don't need no invitation
Grab the devil by the tail,
If you got the fascination,
Touch it, touch it, touch it, touch it,
Make it red hot!
Wham bam - it was better than the first time
Love jam - had my fingers in the pie
Wham bam - we were swingin' from the grape vine
Wham bam - and I kissed her butterfly
You got me climbin' up the walls
Gotta scrape me off the ceiling,
Slow down baby
we don't want to blow the feeling,
We got the fiy-aa,
like a burnin' volcano,
I kindda hope this feelin' never slips away,
Thats what I pray for, yeah
Yea, the train kept a rollin'
Screamin' all night long - Do it! do it!
We're gettin' down and dirty - do it! do it! do it! do it! do it!
Wham bam - it was better than the first time
Love jam - had my fingers in the pie
Wham bam - we were swingin' from the grape vine
Wham bam - and I kissed her butterfly
(solo)
Wham bam - it was better than the first time
Love jam - had my fingers in the pie
Wham bam - we were swingin' from the grape vine
Wham bam - and I kissed her butterfly...
You know whats really sad? Old Aerosmith outtakes are better than contemporary mainstream music.
Nice work for a modest project. Hard to mimic Tyler though, Best be yourself. :)
