Turd on the run has to be one of the best obscure songs the stones ever recorded.Every time I listen to the song its pure caffine to get you going.

yep - they actually rehearsed this baby for Licks. hard to imagine 'em pulling it off live....but I digress

Kind of a coked-up bluegrass! I love it!

Ross

kinda like the cousin to Rip This Joint......excellent tune with some cool harp blowing...........and an inspiration when one is constipated

Love the song name as well. Can you imagine this on the set list and it reading "Turd"? Charlie's probably thinking "Dear God...!"

actually I never got that. How would you explain Turd?

I really like that song. It is one of the Stones' most underrated songs.

omg - I looked it up.

does it really mean "pile of shit"


I'm disgusted ^^

ROFL!!!

got to scrape that shit right off your shoes

Turd On the Run is a great example of why Exile is such a mish-mash.

"It's just that demon life has got me in it's sway..."

no, it doesn't mean a pile of shit...but merely a log. big difference.

yes. it's a single log.

LOL

Its just ONE shit. Isnt that correct? A single one.

that depends on how you look at it or how it comes out - I always think of ONE SHIT as being either one big log or a series of consecutive logs. But, no matter how many logs it takes to constitute a single shit, a turd is equated to a log, not a shit. hope that clarifies.

Turd = One piece of shit.

Pile of shit = Several pieces of shit.

There you have it......

#......Go ahead....Bite the Big Apple....Don't mind the Maggots.....Uh Huh...#

ok ok, lets blowdry this for now - I got it

btw - its a pretty fast song to play live.
maybe a bit risky?

Turd is a frustation song, and a real good and fast one,never played live.That said to me the whole of side three from ,Exile is my fav. Jesus, Let it loose,wll now we dont have side anymore.

Ahhhhhhhh, let 'em try and play it. Just as long as they don't create some sort of new slowed down version.

The background vocals/choir on TOTR really enjoy themselves. Sounds like they are having a ball.

Turd, today, is most commonly used too describe a person who's kind of a twit--a loser. I think thats the meaning used here.

A great title! "Grabbed hold of your coattails but they come off in my hand, reached for your lapel but it weren't sewn on so grand. I begged, promised, anything, if only you would stay, but I lost a lot of love over you"

So she's a shit, running away from poor, poor Mick J!

Hilarious, man. You must have stayed up all night thinking that one up.

>> So she's a shit <<

interesting! it's always seemed to me to be about a male, not a female.

how can you tell male turds from female turds?
