The Lantern and Gomper are both cool. What's not to like about The Lantern? A lovely blue, psychedelic piece.
I get that Gomper needs a few spins before it hits home, though. It did for me, but I love it now

This extra verse is in the video, but edited out elsewhere.
Anyone have any info why it's cut off the album?

This is a legitimately great song. It is still growing on me. If they did a 10-song "best of the Stones 1980-2015" i would put this song on it.
The lyrics/singing and guitars weave together perfectly, the guitar effects are perfect for the song, and the song is "finished" with the care you expect from the Stones rather than tossed off. One of Mick's better vocals in the 1980s IMO.

My favorite from Undercover. This is an endearing tune. Love Stu's playing on it.

Tiny latter day gem for sure but kinda forgettable and on the cheap side (and She’s So Cold is hotter). There’s no reason to praise this song any more than Star Star (both are pretty much Stones-by-numbers teetering on self-parody) but I guess we have more affection for ‘She Was Hot’ simply because – just speculating here – most members of this forum remember when it was released and at the time fervently believed that better was to come. But alas…

Ehhhh. I can't speak for older people but when I heard UOTN with its horns, I figured it was on the same album as Heartbreaker with its horns and doo-doo-doos. All I knew at that point was LET IT BLEED, GYYYO!, HOT ROCKS and TATTOO YOU.
So I got GOATS HEAD SOUP because of Undercover Of The Night.

The guitar work on U is top notch, possibly the best overall guitar album by the Stones, and Mick's vocal work is his best ever.

One of the best tracks in the late years.

It puzzles me that Stu would dismiss the entire magical TSMR album, but play on utter shit like this song.
