If you read the article (and I know you did) you already saw that the next sentence is: "Many songs from the apex of their career, were they released today, would receive a similar treatment, including tracks like “Stray Cat Blues,” a song about a 15-year-old girl, and “Under My Thumb,” a catchy little number about male aggression."LetMeSleep wrote:And what about Some Girls.
I'd add "Stupid Girl" and "Backstreet Girl" to that list, and I'm sure there are many more. I think the larger point is that Brown Sugar is one of the Stones' biggest hits, one that they still play at pretty much every show. So that separates it from tracks they can just sort of forget about. I didn't know that Jagger changes the lyrics to Brown Sugar regularly in concert, and that the vocals/words to song itself have been edited in recent reissues of Sticky Fingers.
