Back in 1975 Aerosmith created a song out of luck, and it became a Billboard Top 10 hit. The beat and the guitar riff was heavily used years later in underground rap parties in the Bronx, and Run-DMC had actually already rapped over the song before without realizing it was an Aerosmith's song, or even who the rock band was. The story behind this cover is so unique because at first, the rap group did not want to record it for considering the lyrics "hillbilly gibberish", but when released it became an instant hit and it even peaked higher than the original version. It also catapulted Aerosmith again to mainstream at a time the band wasn't having their best time.Listen to the full episode above and let us know yout thoughts behind this incredible cover.
