Quote71Tele Easier to hear in this fine cover version... That's interesting. In this version, they seem to sing "You got me thinking I'm gonna blow my top". Another possibility, but listening again to the Stones that's definitely not what Mick sings. (lyric is at 0:39 - I tried cueing it but it doesn't work)

Re: "reek". I just Googled the word and there's an archaic use of the word that would make sense in the context of the lyrics: archaic give off smoke, steam, or fumes. "while temples crash, and towers in ashes reek"

Quoteswiss Phonetically -- I hear "You got me reeky - gotta blow my top" or "You got me reeky - god, I'll blow my top" Thanks for your effort. This is really close to what I hear too.

There's this garage rock near-replica of the Stones' version from the Tracers. I saw somewhere "released in 1966". But I'm also wondering if this was released before the Stones' version, and the Stones nicked it.

Quotemighty stork Keith has played with so many artists outside of The Rolling Stones and I thought it would be great to share some of our favorites. Here is one of mine a great version of Little Queenie from 1983. Take note of the drummer here as well. Keith in '83 was still red hot from the Tattoo You Tour. After that he went on a year-long guitarless honeymoon with Patti and never fully

That already pretty much describes this tour (Get off of my Cloud, I Wanna Be Your Man, Lady Jane, The Last Time, Satisfaction, Paint It Black, etc. etc. etc.) and previous ones like the Steel Wheels tour. What would be cool would be a tour with only 80s-to-present songs - which would never happen.

Quotestonehearted Paul McCartney was under 30 when 'When I’m 64' was released. All of the Beatles were under 30 when the band folded (Paul 27). How's that for divine inspiration? He was still only 24!!! when When I'm 64 and Sgt. Pepper were released.
