I alway loved this track...In fact BTB is in my top 10 fav albums.
Really liked how the Stones got away from the basic
blues and play something new.
A new grove and a lot of fun to play. A GREAT album that
showed why the Rolling Stones were the best rock band in the
land...
They could do anything..

It was fun to see how many "tion" or "sion" words they could find. I'll bet Mick and Keith slaved for minutes over it....

I like the rolling, funky groove underneath it. Oh hell, let's hear it as an instrumental and dig Ian.

Possibly, Ian Stewart's greatest work. His playing is downright scary in the outtake version. No wonder Brian Wilson ran out of the studio.

A fun pop tune and Mick's Vocal gives it that Stones Attitude.

A real new sound for the Stones. Quirky, very English and upbeat. You can definitely hear the sound of young, mod London here with all its cocky upstart arrogance.
A new wind has been blowing through the streets of the Stones' hometown, which fashion and music wise has become the centre of the rock'n'roll universe, and the song really captures this pop art insouciance.
I love the stop start rhythm and the metallic sheen of Keith's guitar. And then there's that really weird, almost distorted crescendo at the end of each verse which suggests that psychedelia is just a kiss away.
Not sure if it's aimed at Chrissie Shrimpton, Marianne or some young starlet that he was hoping to seduce but lyrically it's a continuation of Jagger's misogny from Aftermath, especially with lines like:
"You need teaching you're a girl
There are things in this world
That need teaching with discretion, my profession"

Because it is the second track on the album, it complements the opener Yesterday's Papers by combining to set the fuzz-toned psychedelic pop mood of the album and perfectly sets up the change in tempo for the third track, Backstreet Girl. The lyric "My obsession is your possession" has always stuck with me, but despite this, I think the track would have been less memorable if sequenced further in to the album, if placed in the eighth or ninth slot instead of as track number 2.
