PAUL McCARTNEY on including She Said Yeah on his album RUN DEVIL RUN: "It's a Larry Williams song and it is my favourite of his songs. He did some other good stuff like Bony Moronie but this was always a song I loved and wanted to get around to doing. I remember turning Mick Jagger onto it and I think the Stones did a version of it. There were two songs I turned Mick onto that the Stones have done. One was She Said Yeah and the other was Ain't Too Proud To Beg. Mick would deny it -- 'Wot? Never saw him, never met him' - but I distinctly remember having him up into a little music room and playing it to him. He loved it and he went and did it. We've messed around with the track a little bit, but it is sort of like my memory of the original."

The thing with Stones and their covers is that they always did a version that's better than the original... please show me one example where this is not true ..

Under the Boardwalk
Like A Rolling Stone
They seem to do much better with songs that are not that well known and could use a little cleanup.

I'm just counting the Decca/Brian Jones-era...the original of 'Under the boardwalk' is a song I have never heard...

To name a few, just from the Brian Jones era. On a lot of the early covers, Jagger sounds like a pimply little fanboy compared to the original version.
Come On (Chuck Berry)
I Wanna Be Loved (Muddy Waters)
Little Red Rooster (Howlin' Wolf)
Cry to Me (Solomon Burke)
My Girl (Temps)
The greatest service of many of their early covers was that they led those of us who bother to read the credits to check out the original versions.

Agree wit Come On with some one exception My Girl which is a bad cover

And that's the one I love
The problem also with My Girl is that it doesn't suit the Stones, so probably this ruined the whole song for me
