Let me tell you...last night I listened to it a dozen times...I realized how good it really is and that harp on the end is Sugar ''right''?I must say I prefer the studio version..cause the 99 vers was not dirty enough..its fun this song..and sometimes very true...so foo me the highlight from SG..is now(after all these years) Some girls!! I think this song needs a little more attention...ok have a nice weekend with some girls.

Your english gets better by the day rooster! What happend? And you are right, Some Girls is a great track. Jesse Jackson might not agree....

Well my English needs to get much better..but I understand SG totaly...and Jesse...he doesnt understand...I do!!

Some Girls is a great song, as is every song from that album. The live versions don't do it for me, tho..

Always greatful they didn't call it.......Some Boys

Thats very true Keef....the live version has no danger...I miss the harp...but enough bashing...Im about to cherish this song today!!It even might be the best joke-song ever..on the other hand its damm serious...so many things i love about this tune the guitars!!It sounds so true and sharp when Jagger sings ''Give Ya a house back in Zuma Beach and give you half
of everything I owe!!""Do you remember in 99 Jagger sung White instead of black..in that famous line? I tell you I felt never offended about that line..I thought it was very funny!!

Thats right Rock!! Maybe Joan Jett should do a cover!! Is there a cover by the by???

I remember that back than lots of people atacked the Stones(woman lib,Jesse among others..inc the punk movement)...man this song was so nasty!!

It has just enough edge to not be a pure 'joke' - as al;ways with the Stones...The way the parody of the verses on F.A. Eyes, which could become a simple cheap shot, are offset by their wit and the wistfulness of the chorus...With SG same thing - the anger is genuine, the lines (on the original) uncensored as Jagger though/wrote them, but with obvious irony and self-awareness...Jackson, typically, only found the black girls line to bitch about, never mind all the other half-serious stereotypes strewn throughout...

John R

Yeah..and Jackson played it save..while Angela Davis was in the front line...he never even heard the song..and Sweet Black Angel he didnt heard either!!

Some Girls Give Me money, Some gals buy me clothes..SG give me jewel-ry That i d never thought I d own.

I think Some girls is one of those songs that seperates casual stones listeners from people who really appreciate their music.

... or their shenanigans!

Great song,obviously. Classic lyrics. I saw them do it live on the No Security tour,but this one where the studio version is just better. I don't know that this song really works well live. Espicially if he cleans up the lyrics. I mean where is the fun in that.
