African Girl First Time Reaction to The Rolling Stones - Under My Thumb

[@sammybeck7794]

Sometimes it's just about the music

[@snatchhog]

Definitely a song of those times😊

[@luvlgs1]

"under my thumb" means the girl has learned her place. think of it as one man's liberation from an oppressive partner. besides, it totally rocks!

The late great Charlie Watts on drums RIP Charlie.

Sweet! "Under My Thumb" is one of my favorite songs of theirs, retrograde lyrics notwithstanding. The marimba riff on top of the groovy bass line gives the song something of a Motown feel. The Rolling Stones were marketed as the bad boy alternatives to The Beatles. They wrote many songs with potentially offensive lyrics, but these are so over the top they're probably meant to be cheeky, that is, impudent or irreverent, rather than serious.

I feel the same way about the marimba and bass. Excellent analysis by the way!

Fay is back home and makknc good classic music again❤

Great song... thanks, love

Under my thumb, is a saying, to control someone against their will, maybe for their own good, but people have a free will, to allow this to happen. It can be a form of abuse.

[@troyshilanski380]

Ok you blew my mind honey. They are so young!

[@troyshilanski380]

Great reaction honey.

I think your first take is over optimistic. I say it's payback time. She was once the boss now the tide has turned.

[@snatchhog]

This was not live. Unusual for the stones😊

[@brianmctague5723]

Ah, the early stones, is there anything better!! I'm not sure if you have featured 'she's a rainbow' in your reactions, but if you haven't, please play it, it's another Rolling Stones diamond!!

[@JohnLedger-g4i]

The original Stones line up !!!

[@PeterOConnell-pq6io]

Back then, the 'Rolling Stones' were the too bad flip side alter-ego of the 'Beatles' and revelled in their art.

[@MichaelBarnett-ox1cu]

They banned this one from the radio when I was a kid😮

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

Rolling Stones🤘

[@BabyAlexxia6734.]

❤❤❤

[@markbenedict1295]

If you like early Stones I'd like to suggest "Get Off My Cloud"

[@BernardHodgson]

I think the song wouldn't have been recorded like that today. If it did it would, quite rightly, be critised, similar to Eminem etc have been. Having said that it is still a great sound.

[@troyshilanski380]

Its an old song older than me

[@robertgross9180]

Most men would not even be able to think in these terms in a relationship with a woman. But Mick is a rock star and probably can get away with having this attitude toward a woman in a relationship. This song is a myth that many men would like to believe is possible but know can never happen.

[@jokuz9133]

Under my thumb means he controls her

[@troyshilanski380]

What can i say the 60s free love.

[@ivansavoie3190]

Check out Streetheart version of Under my Thumb,

[@brenthenderson3983]

Blasphemy...

[@rayr4320]

Under my thumb means she is under his control. It isnt a good thing because you are under the control of someone else. Jagger performing at the age of 80.

[@jokuz9133]

You are so beautiful in this video

[@americanaforever6725]

“Under my thumb” is a good thing for him and not so good for her

[@johnwallen438]

Did you like the song? BOTH your options could be true. Only Jagger knows.

Try HAND OF FATE SHE WAS HOT CRAZY MAMA
