I give the Stones a lot of stick but I will say this song shoulda been a mega hit.
AND they shoulda gotten Phil Spector to fucking produce it!!
It's also interesting in that it reminds me of my favorite class in college, Literary Criticism:
The highest-level English class I took in college as an English major was Literary Criticism, in which the professor would constantly tie in how, say, The Mimetic Theory, could be applied to The Muppet Movie. It sounds silly 15 years later, but at the time it was always like "...is this guy retarded? what the...oh, shit, look at that. He's right." Bizzare. "How would Aristotle or Pope have interpreted this particular passage from Frankenstein? Okay, let's go to the tape: here's Fozzie and Kermit coming to a fork in the road while driving and...*"
As in when I hear this song now, it's not a perfect analogy but all I can think of is to wonder if it's a strange mini-amalgamation of what a true Detroit Rock City mashup sound of Bob Segar and Hitsville USA coulda possibly sounded like????? 😲🤯❤️🥁🎸
* I don't remember much from college but I do remember this scene is when they say "Bear left" "Right Frog!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
