I was listening to the studio Sticky Fingers today and just had to comment on what I considered absolute musical perfection on a portion of this song. How many times have I listened to this since '71?? But from 1:52 to 2:42, the "Hear me singing" section. The perfect blend of vocals and harmonies, lyrics, instrumentation, with the organ in the mix, and the song's structure. It is like a perfect storm of all components to create an absolute kick-ass bit of rock and roll. So sublime, they were at their peak as a band. After all these years I am still getting goose bumps hearing this masterpiece.

You're right but without the violence of the intro, it wouldn't be the same atmosphere.
This song is perfect from first second to the end because there is also a real end. A must!

As a Brit, the term "kick-ass" means nothing. Can anyone explain what it means?

As a Dutchman, I think most people around the world understand the meaning.

That opening riff has become iconic...it's been used in several movies to great effect:
- Casino
- Blow
- The Fighter
- Pain and Gain
- Spider Man: Homecoming (a very unexpected but pleasant surprise)
That riff just has this feeling of, "We're getting into real some nasty shit right now, but we're gonna have SO much fun while doing it."

For a few years now, every time I hear the opening riff to CYHMK, I always get a picture of Nicky Santoro going “Peak a boo you motherf*ckers you“.

Good one!
Would "kick-arse" have made it better for you?
