What does the song Rag Doll by Aerosmith mean?
“I think it’s about sex (“Do it til you’re dizzy/Baby won’t you do me like you’ve done before”), so I’m hopin’ it’s not about his daughter too”
“Yeah it’s a sex song, I guess the song is about some hot girl whom he’s just gotten, the “rag doll” he’s singing about. I don’t think this song describes anything more than this, that the lyrics are supposed to be scat and sound cool more than anything else.”
“I think this song describes a girl just out of puberty (like in her early twenties) and is very pure. He finds her first and deflowers her”
“I agree with Peachila, there seems to be an insinuation that she might be young, especially the doll imagery. The “tap dancing on a landmine” might refer to her being underage, something he also covered in “Sweet Emotion”.”
“I felt this song was about the promiscuous neighborhood girl who is not necessarily pure. In her father’s eyes she’s his little cutie but in the neighborhood boys know otherwise and that she’s a ‘hot tramp’. The type that’d sneak boys through the back door…”
“yes, its sex. but i think its about sex with a tramp. hence the whole “hot tramp daddys little cutiee..” althought i always thought that line he was talking about his daughter. calling her a tramp but yet Tylers (his) daddys little cutie. get it? but idk about that.
and look at the title “Ragdoll” tramp girl. Tramp stands for (rag) andd doll stands for a girl.”
“the song is not about Liv, Yes it is about sex, but during prohibition (hense the mention of speak easys and moonshine) during the Roaring 20′s flappers (hip chicks) refered to there boyfriends as daddy, a tin lizzy was a car, and the girl was so hot he did not mind her walking out the front door. The 20′s were a sexual charged time after WW 1″
