"Same Old Song and Dance" kicked off Aerosmith's second album, Get Your Wings, as its first single in 1974, and it's built on a riff Joe Perry came up with sitting on his amp. Steven Tyler knocked out the words fast and sings them locked to that riff, strutting right along with it while Perry and Brad Whitford trade guitar punches.

Producer Jack Douglas, who made it with Ray Colcord, wanted horns to bring out the band's rhythm-and-blues streak, so in came the Brecker Brothers, with Michael Brecker blowing the sax solo alongside Randy Brecker's trumpet, Stan Bronstein's baritone sax and Jon Pearson's trombone. Dick Wagner handled the guitar solo on the record. The result swings and swaggers like a bar band on a big night out, and it has never left classic rock radio or the band's setlists.
