The video flashes back and forth between an Aerosmith concert at Freedom Hall in Johnson City, TN and the band down on the streets of New Orleans. The video (see below) is based on the album version of the song. This version had an earlier fadeout, omitting the classic one featuring the sax solo and Tyler's scat singing. The music on the radio single differed from the album version in having a more urgent, driving beat, fueled by Tom Hamilton's bass, and slightly different sax notes. The song's lyrics go in sync with the song's melody. The song is notable for drummer Joey Kramer's 1-2-1-2 lead beat in the beginning of the song, saxophones, and Joe Perry's slide guitar.
It peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100, #12 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and #42 on the UK charts.
The "Yes I'm movin'" section is lifted from The Rolling Stones' 1965 recording of "I'm Movin' On," on which Keith Richards sings "Yes I'm movin'" with the same melody as on the Aerosmith record. Steven was horrified about this and often complained to his manager. She suggested "Rag Doll", which was actually another title Steven and Jim thought of, but Holly ended up getting credits just for one word. The song was originally titled "Rag Time" but John Kalodner didn't like that, so Holly Knight was called in to help change that lyric. The song's lyrics were primarily written by Tyler and Vallance, Perry originating the guitar riff, and Vallance writing the bass line. It was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Jim Vallance, and Holly Knight. It was released as the final single from the album in 1988. It is from the 1987 album " Permanent Vacation". " Rag Doll" is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith.
