Aerosmith - Love In An Elevator

"Love in an Elevator" was the first taste of Aerosmith's Pump in August 1989, a leering hard rock strut written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and produced by Bruce Fairbairn, cut like the rest of the album at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver. Tyler said it grew out of a real-life clinch in an elevator that got interrupted when the doors slid open, and the band milks the scenario for every drop of innuendo: a riff that swaggers like it owns the building, a chorus that goes up and up, and Tyler yowling like a man enjoying the story far too much.

It paid off. The song went to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the Album Rock Tracks chart and went gold.
