“Toys in the Attic” is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, it is the first song and title track from the band’s third album Toys in the Attic, their bestselling studio album in the United States. The song is three minutes, five seconds long. It was released as single in 1975.

The song “Toys in the Attic” is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. The others by Aerosmith are “Dream On” and “Walk This Way” (Run-DMC version).

Additionally, the band played the song acoustically during their performance on MTV Unplugged in 1990. In 1994, during a nationally-broadcast radio performance at the band’s Mama Kin’s Music Hall, the song was the last song played, after the band asked the audience for requests.
