Which songs in the Stones catalogue would you characterize as music hall? I can think of OWTS, SHTMY and CCC.

English Music Hall was a very common form of entertainment in England up until the '50s when it started petering out. As youngsters, I'm sure Mick and Keith were exposed to it. Paul McCartney certainly was as the music hall influence shows up in his songs very often and I can't help but think that Paul's use of idiom had some influence on Mick and Keith, who after a little dabbling decided it wasn't for them, and rightly so!

I think that must be pretty accurate. They had a sort of British mini period inside their pop period. Perhaps other rock bands as well experimented with Muisc Hall, like beeing cool by being silly.
Wait! I think I found another one. Perhaps not strictly Music Hall and not strictly The Stones, but close enough: TLNOTY!
