"Let's Work" really continued the same message as "Hang Fire" -- Mick's dislike of a welfare nation. The difference was "Hang Fire" seemed gutsy and caustic and "Let's Work" sounded like "We are the World" was his model to embrace the work ethic his father instilled in him. The hideous dance music doesn't help. Or the hideous video. Or the hideous Top of the Pops appearance. Still, he never played the song on his solo tour so he probably didn't think much of it either.

Yet it was the lead single...maybe the backlash towards it after release caused him to have second thoughts.

Nice comparison with We are the World by the way.

The thing is the choice of the single could have been Walter Yetnikoff or Roger Davies thinking it was the most commercial track for radio in 1987. We really don't know what went into that process. However, it was a risk that didn't pay. The album was not successful, but Mick played half the songs (or better) at every show as well as 2 or 3 from his first album, about 20 Stones songs, and even a cover version or two. I think he did like the album even if the single was still-born. And we say still-born though it sold better than "Take It So Hard" or any single after "Rock and a Hard Place." A minor Top 40 hit in 1987, but for a guy who only had two more Top 40 hits left in him, that means its actually a standout. Sad way to look at it. Take away the keyboards, the rhythm track, and the choir and give it a different lyric and it might have been okay. In other words, the guitar isn't terrible.

"Take away the keyboards, the rhythm track, and the choir and give it a different lyric and it might have been okay. In other words, the guitar isn't terrible".

Lol perhaps so, yet despite all of that it was on his Greatest Hits album!
I guess when there's slim pickings, you have to scrape up everything that's at ones disposal - and a quick glance at the songs listed on his "Greatest Hits" is the epitome of a hodgepodge.

I'm wracking my brains trying to think of when Mick last did better lyrics than this latest effort.

Look no further than the brilliant and genius Sweet Neo Con.

Ah, no, no...wasn't thinking anything, I was only correcting Rocky and Rockman. Acupuncture is fine, aquapuncture I've never tried. Injecting water...no, thanks.

There are worse things to inject than water.

But thank you for the correction. My weary and bleary nearly half century old eyes did not notice the distinction.

While I try--and don't always succeed--to stay agnostic on Keith v Mick, I will profess to an admiration for those posters who are able to divine the entire width, breadth and depth of a piece of recorded music w/o having yet heard said music. That is clairvoyance of the highest order.

Doxa, you are one of the great thinkers of this board and one of the best reasons to scan 'Tell Me', but slow down. Dont go down the dark side.

I hope Mick will do some interviews to promote his project, and am a little excited to hear the new song. Like the lyrics though.

Whoa, the venom was unpleasant here, and unnecessary (certainly until you've actually heard something, and God help us you actually like it)
C'mon dude.

ETA: and is 'riffie' some kind of inside joke? WTF.

My sarcasm is grown blunt and tired; will try harder next time.

No, I honestly don't get it/ understand. Why would you call posters with different names the same nickname?

Allow me to clarify 35love, I think LongBeach thought he was replying to my post, he made a mistake, I'm riffy, always have been, take care love.

I could say the same thing about you dear boy.

Where's the songs man? For some reason I thought Wednesday then it's Friday
now it's we don't know
What's Mick doing, planning his b-day party,
'We Love You'

That's quite alright the pleasures all mine, and thank you for mentioning it.

I still think it might be "acupuncture" instead of the aqua....

Clairvoyance would have been a clever word for Mick to use in 'Gotta Getta Grip" imo.
Almost sure he's used that word before...kind of rhymes with paranoia...depending on how he sings it.

Keith was not a fan of this tune. ... I wish they could've come up with this modus operandi a long time ago: Mick putting his pop experiments out on the side, heading off arguments with Keith, and letting the collective work continue.

Intriguing post Melbelli, I don't suppose you could expand more on what you just said. Keith didn't like Mick's new single?? Are you an insider??

i think it will sound something like that....

I'm not personally an insider, but I do know one. I'm saying Keith did not like this song (Clifford also involved, natch), and so it became a Mick single.

Fair prediction as some of us were speculating earlier, but it might even have a heavier rap/street vibe with Skepta involved.
From what I've learned since first hearing about Skepta, he seems to be more on the cutting edge (vs. Will.I.Am), and possibly even more respected amongst the younger generation.

Thank you, Mel!

Well, in fairness to us 'Keithettes,' here we are waiting for a new Stones album and we get this carefully orchestrated Mick project pressing all the familiar topical buttons. He's working with a young, hot artist! His lyrics are so edgy they will be banned!
