Lyrically it owes a lot to Little Richard's Ready Teddy....the same delivery as Richard's 'Ready, set, go man go...I got a girl that I love so' so I guess that prime 56 era rock'n'roll was the sound they were trying to capture.

Yes, a good catch that "Ready Teddy"... They married it with the Chuck Berrian doctrine of 'let's mention as many places as possible so it will be a hit at least in those places'... They probably wrote the lyrics in a few minutes, and were just having fun, but hey, that's easy when you are in your creative heights, just let it go and trust your instincts... I think it is a beautiful tribute to all that era rock and roll, but still they manage to make it sound nothing but the Rolling Stones.

I never liked it. It is too noisy, too frantic, too bipolar. It might have been better if it were slowed down considerably, along the lines of the studio version of Respectable.
I would much rather listen to All Down the Line than this waste of three minutes or so.

Oh gawwd, Track Talk is in the R's, meaning we will be discussing two tracks from Exile that seemingly every Stones fan in the world seems to adore ... except for me. We'll get to the other one in a few weeks, but first, here goes Rip This Joint.
RTJ reminds me of a little dog that is barking frantically but really has nothing to say. It is just blowing off energy and annoying everyone (except its owner, presumably). Unlike so much of the Stones catalog, RTJ has no tension, no build-up, no release, no danger, no atmosphere at all. It is just a bunch of chemically amped-up guys bashing away furiously at their instruments and shouting into the microphone. Sorry to be so blunt but this one just ain't my cup o' tea.

Nah, but I'd say your new avatar puts you in the running for the most ironic.
