I see this song getting slagged at every corner, but I think it's great. Cool overall sound and semi-sexual (feel the fur, etc.) lyrics. There are several on VL that are not as good.
Love it. To me this is classic Stones, great guitar by Keith, they use the horns the way they did in the early 70's and the lyrics are typical Stones with references to sex and danger.
Would rather hear this every night over You Got Me Rocking...
It's my fave kind of Stones song - mid-tempo bluesy. It's what they do best. Live version at the Orpheum was unbelievably tastey - and then no more on the tour. Stones are clueless at times, it seems.
seen them do it @ Giants Stad in 94,,great version,,keith came up 2 the front of the stage & nailed down those Berry like chops,,,i like the voodoo brew version more than the lounge version

Agree. It sounded incredible. Reminded me of early 60's club Stones immediately.
Never liked this song at all. I hate the lyrics to be honest - far too predictable and in my opinion a "written by numbers song". Probably took Mick 5 mins to write.
When they played this at RFK in Washington in '94, the crowd cheered loudly when Mick sang, 'Smells like caviar.'
I'm wondering if, a few years from now, everyone's going to decide this is a Stone's classic. Some of their tunes seem to gain acceptance and appreciation with time.
Also, I wonder if many of us fans are so focused on Rolling Stones musical traditions that we don't actually hear the new records when we play them? I was guilty of that way back when CYHMK came out, believe it or not. I thought it was phony. But I came to appreciate it and, when they played it this last tour, it blew me away!
