Ha ha! I've honestly spent YEARS thinking how to make Let's Work listenable. Haven't figured it out yet.
BUT I did mention this yesterday to my missus and she gave a whole new perspective to the lyrics, that maybe they are ironic. That Mick doesn't literally mean what he sings. He takes some other person's (a politician or something) role and is actually mocking that "get offa your ass and go to work you lazy sod" -message.
So, with that approach in mind, I'll keep trying.

Cool.

Time to watch Freejack again my favorite Mick film.

Ha, great idea. I think he used that to great effect in Sympathy For The Devil.

Make it so!

Holy crap that's excellent!!! What a fantastic interpretation - way better than the original!

Yes agree, excellent version, and it's WAY better than the original - congrats to you and the missus padre69!
Looking forward to more superior remakes of other mediocre Jagger solo tunes from you two....there's plenty to choose from.

:-D

Glad you guys like the version!

And you have two albums from Richards you can make much better than Boring Richards

Great version!

Very nice, it almost look like a different song and you succeed to do it

A nice version! "Lucky In Love" is pretty rich melodically, and that quality is nicely emphasized here.

But, as typical here, a nice tribute to Mick Jagger for his 80th birthday turns out to be a just another thread for Jagger bashing...

I never cared much for the original. This is very, very good. It reminds me of Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris' album about 20 years ago.

Genial

Simply fabulous! Love it-- congrats on your beautiful creation!

Good !

Yes, it really is. Actually many songs on She’s The Boss are surprisingly rich musically, if you can listen them ignoring the 80’s production.

Sounds great!!
