In the room when Mick and Keith wrote it of course.
Or possibly just a pop-pickin' kid who might have been tickled/perplexed/embarrassed at this rather pertinent statement made as the younger generation were questioning old social and sexual (petty) morals.

Must have been a very short down/slump since Aftermath was just a year before.
A lot of radio stations didn't play it here in The States so it didn't crack the top forty.

It gets worse, the older that you get. No escape from the state of confusion I'm in.
maybe we couldn't figure the fuss but the network big-wigs thought differently..remember how Ed Sullivan told the Doors not to sing...we couldn't get much higher...on Light My Fire? Of course, Morrison did it anyway and Sullivan kicked him off his show forever after...
Ok, junior, your elders are speaking!
yes, but they were in charge...
Music and success was very short-living in those days.You had to come up with a new hit every 2-3 month . .
I think it is a perfect pop song, ace recording and a part of a perfect single with Ruby Tuesday on the other side, but really as a release it wasn't anything that important to their career and only caused minor fuss when they sang it on Ed Sullivan.
Strange choice to focus on, but perhaps the events of February 1967 took away some of it's impact!?

I will never forget when Mick and Keith asked me to listen to this new song of theirs, "Satisfaction."
Naff title for a song, I thought.
I had found the 1792 tour to be exhausting and now in the 1960's these "rock stars" were asking eagerly, "Stonesrule, do you think someday this will be good enough for a TV music documentary?"
"Isn't hearing it on the radio the important thing?" I said. "I'm tired. Stop bugging me about things that will never happen."

Since Jimi's single 'Hey Joe' were released december 1966 I didn't even noticed Stones new song 'Let's spend the night together' released january 1967...Jimi were the name on the walls that winter....Purple Haze followed in March and The wind cries Mary in May...Next Stones-single that really mattered were 'We Love You'/Dandelion'..then it was Stones again....followed by smashing album 'Beggars Banquet' as you all know...Stones were number 1 for a long time until...Creedence Clearwater Revival began their crazy road with smash-hit singles....

I've read later that one of Norway's most respected music reviewers bashed the song hard when it came out. He's the father of a keyboard player who used to be in my band, btw

BV,
Are they looking to interview retirees or fans, My Dad, a young fan at 65 next month. He's been angling for Wyman's spot since 66' in Wellington, so I suppose he could chuck a few teenage anecdotes at the ITV crew. Personally I wish they'd do a kick ass doco on 81/82 the 1st of the big tours

Muddy's version is much more rock and roll than the pop sounding original. I always considered the song a bagatelle. Not in Muddy's hands though (nothing is)...

A short lesson on how to use the verb be:
" In the past indicative, was is the first– and third-person singular (used with I, as well as with he, she, it and other subjects that would be used with does rather than do), and were is both the second-person singular and the plural (used with we, you, they, and any other plural subjects). In the traditional past subjunctive, were is used with all subjects, though many speakers do not actually distinguish the past subjunctive from the past indicative, and therefore use was with first– and third-person singular subjects even in cases where other speakers would use were."

Re the "lesson": "Your", as well as "the people" both are referring to the plural form? Who is it that needs the lesson, then?

I liked it from first listen. It had been an important single since the Stones had been on a down for a bit. The last single Have you seen your mother hadn't been a big hit and I remember headlines like " Decline or triumph for the Stones?".
With that 2-sided single they were back in the charts. In Germany Ruby Tuesday was the even bigger hit of the 2.

Must have been a very short down/slump since Aftermath was just a year before.

If they are doing a special on just that one track, someone should mention that it is the worst stereo mix in the Stones catalogue - completely dilutes the power of the song.

Did the song really have an impact? It's just a decent pop single, nothing more. The lyrics are not risque. Surely it was only Ed Sullivan who thought so?

One of my least favorite Stones tracks. This song just never clicked with me--there's nothing there that makes me want to listen to it. I like it even less when they do it live. I did, however, see the Sullivan show when Jagger rolled his eyes at the camera singing "let's spend some time together." That's my story.

I think it is a perfect pop song, ace recording and a part of a perfect single with Ruby Tuesday on the other side, but really as a release it wasn't anything that important to their career and only caused minor fuss when they sang it on Ed Sullivan.
Strange choice to focus on, but perhaps the events of February 1967 took away some of it's impact!?
