I think Roman Candle misfired on that one...or just flamed out.
Ha ha! Bono is now singing Hey Negrita!
What does he sings after "saw the steel in your thighs"?!
Imo it's not "Bate las caderas"...

Saw the gleam in your mouth, saw the steel in your thighs. I'm hearing something a lot more sexual. Could be my perverted mind.
I don't understand why the official lyrics state "Bate las caderas" when Mick at 1:42 doesn't sing those words at all!!!
To me that's Ronnie's first great contribution to a Stones cut. And of course the Wyman/Watts rhythm section is incredible.
It's one of those songs that is sneaky in regard to their catalogue. Insanely clever (although not really, it just happens to be), funky, catchy and it heaves. And something only some Stones nerds would know.
It's not for the HOT ROCKS crowd.
...and at 1:42 what the f?!# is he singing before "do it up now"?!

Not everything is always meant to be understood... maybe Mick just made up some words that sounded Spanish? It's all part of the RnR spirit of the time.
Here's an Italian superstar who made a whole song in the 70s that just sounded English: youtube.com - good luck translating it!
Maybe you're right, but i think he's saying something that no one has ever wanted to go into or ask about...so much so that the official lyrics include a 'Bate las caderas' that has nothing to do with what he sings at 1:42!

Loved this one from the word go. It had that great funky Meters groove.
I've always loved the Meters' drummer (Modeliste)
The guitar work on Hey Negrita is actually great (and I don't get the Ron Wood hate) but each time I hear Jagger's voice on this song I want to smash every tooth in his head, or kick him in the eye. And the lyrics are awful.
OMG

Strong candidate, perhaps, but THIS takes the cake:
I go wild, act like a goat
I get sick, lumps in my throat
BTW, I happen to LOVE hey Negrita - fantastic, "deep groovin'" cut

Jagger says "mueve las caderas" meaning "move the hips". He says it with a heavy and deep english accent (especially "caderas").

The promo video is the best one from the Black&Blue set... Mick plays the two roles perfectly, both sleazy and dirty to the right point, all in all somehow classy - pure 70s Jagger.

Not everything is always meant to be understood... maybe Mick just made up some words that sounded Spanish? It's all part of the RnR spirit of the time.
Here's an Italian superstar who made a whole song in the 70s that just sounded English: youtube.com - good luck translating it!

Maybe you're right, but i think he's saying something that no one has ever wanted to go into or ask about...so much so that the official lyrics include a 'Bate las caderas' that has nothing to do with what he sings at 1:42!

Funny how time changes perspective. I thought Hot Stuff kind of weak when first heard it on the radio. Then I heard it blasting in a disco on huge speakers. Billy's piano was show stopping. Never thought much about it, or dug it out to play it. Then I got El Mocambo and it sounds amazing.
I hope if a live version of Hey Negrita ever makes it out on an official release it retains that funky, sleazy feel.

Credited to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Ron Wood apparently wrote the song's main riff, a piece of music he took with him to Munich's Musicland Studios where he and other guitarists were auditioning for the second guitarist slot left open after the departure of Mick Taylor.[2] For his contribution, Wood would receive an "inspiration by" credit on the album.
