Mick did his job, which is in this case to have provided the title lyric hook (unlike on

Quotehowled I think some are reading too much into it. The song started off with Keith's riff and they were doing novelty joke like things with it in the studio according to Keith and they probably would have had no idea when they were first playing around with it that it would end up as a potential single. For how the Stones play around with arrangements, see the Goddard Sympathy vide
