JJF is a song about "having a hard time and getting out". And the "Gas" term is sixties slang for a "good time or thing". "I love the way Lex rocks out to music, it's a gas!" 😎👍

The song is about overcoming obstacles, adversity and smiling about it. "I was born in a crossfire Hurricane." Mick Jagger and Keith Richards kind of literally were.

I was alive back then, so this isn't the only time I've heard it's a gas, it got used semi-frequently by hip folks. Modern day equivalent would be along the lines of it's a blast. "I was born in a crossfire hurricane, but I'm alright now, in fact it's a blast."

Sometimes they said "gas", in a context of it being something positive, advantageous or joyous. Maybe the parallel is drawn from the effect of laughing gas. I think it might be easier to compile synonyms than eliminate them.

I've never been a huge Rolling Stones fan, although I'm old enough to be in their demographic. But this song definitely showcases a rock group on the top of their game. These boys know what they're doing and they are in control.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Funny you say that because “Jumpin Jack Flash” was a comeback song for the Stones in 1968 after a period of baroque pop and psychedelic recordings during Between the Buttons (1967) and Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967). Ultimately, they would record Beggar’s Banquet (1968) and start to hit their creative peak, producing a stretch of masterful rock albums that only the Beatles could rival.

[@hog7203]

It kinda took me awhile back in the early '70 to really like the Stones, but eventually they got to me and I've been a huge fan ever since. Some music is like that.

[@myst0dreamer]

Every one of my girlfriends in high school were huge Rolling Stones (meaning, Mick Jagger) fans and would always go to their concerts when in my city. I didn't see the attraction. But I do like some of their music. I really like Gimme Shelter.

[@robertcartwright4374]

This is my "Best Rock 'N' Roll Song Ever!", but I can't really say why, I just feel it. It's partly the music; the rollicking rhythm, the unique tones, the strong vocals, the simple short structure, the absence of pretension. And it's partly the story; public pleasure as a victory, as a repudiation of denial, as a defeat of the evil forces of repression. JJF has endured and emerged victorious! For me it's the essence of '60s hedonistic freedom. I recall some critic's phrase, "the Rolling Stones at their thuggish best"- it applies here!

[@edwardlongshanks827]

When I was growing up, playing this and "Satisfaction" would guarantee getting people on the dance floor. I remember once going to a New Year's Eve party and nobody was on the dance floor. We requested the DJ play those two songs and almost everyone got up to dance. Then the songs ended and the DJ played something else that completely killed the mood and everyone sat down again.

On July 26, 1965, this song was #1 on the charts. It was Mick's birthday. And it was the day I was born. I love having that connection.

[@Boatzilla2]

From what I have read, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" was a nickname that Keith Richards gave to his gardener. I guess the guy was kinda weird and he was either slow moving or hopped around, something like that. So Keith came up with a riff and he and Mick just made up the lyrics about this gardener's imaginary life history. It's a total goof, as Brad said.

[@stevemd6488]

The story I remember is Mick said we're gonna call it Jumpin Jack and Keith added Flash. Correct me if I'm wrong, going by my ever fading memory.

Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while staying at Richards' country house, when they were awoken one morning by the clumping footsteps of his gardener Jack Dyer walking past the window. Surprised, Jagger asked what it was, and Richards responded: "Oh, that's Jack - that's jumpin' Jack." The lyrics evolved from there.

[@davidwalsh7128]

Historic. This classic single ushered in The Rolling Stone's "Imperial Phase". this was followed by the Beggar's Banquet album and led to their adult rock sound that reigned for 12 years atop the musical mountain....

[@chrisboutin4816]

So, Mick Jagger had slept over at Keith Richards place and in the morning, the gardener was out trimming the hedges and making a racket. Mick asked Keith: “Who is that?”, and Keith responded: “Jumping Jack!” Because the gardener’s name was Jack. What is most significant about this song is that it heralds The Stones return to their R&B roots. After their previous album, “Their Satanic Majesty’s Request” (from which you reviewed 2 songs, 2000 Light Years from Home and She’s Like a Rainbow) and it’s dismal review by critics, The Stones wanted to return to their origins. They’d tried their chops at psychedelia, in line with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band which The Beatles had just put out and which seemed to indicate a new musical direction for the times. Jumping’ Jack Flash brings The Stones back and sets them on the path to musical dominance for the next decade or so. It also embroils them in more controversy, something which they never shied away from, as critics read Demonic undertones in the lyrics. When they released “Sympathy for the Devil”, critics labelled them as Devil Worshippers which made parents hate them even more, and teens love them more. Acoustically, this song is unique and that’s because of Keith’s wizardry. The main riff is played on an acoustic guitar which is first recorded on a tape recorder then run through an amplifier to give it that fuzz box sound. Backed up by an electric guitar, it’s hard to discern where one instrument takes over where the other leaves off.

[@kenrogers1948]

Probably my favorite song.... heard it a thousand times and never get tired of it... funky, punky and more... thanks!... Jumping Jack Flash was Mick and Kieth spying Kieth's haggard old gardener one day while songwriting and imagining a back story for him... the bassist, Bill Wyman came up with the bar chord riff... 1968, I think...

[@jimmyc3755]

Best Land Scaping song ever~~~!!! 😂😁 The boys saw Jack Dyer Keith's gardener walking past the window, Mick - who is that? Keith - thats Jumpin Jack Flash. What a song, it is a gas gas gas man. Love the Stones.

[@ontrack16]

The Rolling Stones, for me, are the most iconographic group for anti-establishment for the time. They were considered the bad boys to The Beatles being equally popular and appearing on the same time line. For this era, as I've seen mentioned numerous times, the instrumentality of music was becoming forefront and vocalist styles started to adapt with the movement towards instrumental virtuosity, blending and evoking sounds never heard before. Hearing Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and here, Mick Jagger, you get a sense of how the early blues styles were so easily able to be captured in voices singing about the ills of the day (racism, The War, drugs and crossed relationships). This era allowed music to blend and it was new. People probably didn't expect to see The Fifth Dimension doing Hair! :)

[@davidamadeo4674]

Jack Flash. His name is Jack Dyer. He was Keith Richard's gardener. It's a long story. I don't have enough time to explain it at all. Keith and Mick were up all night, The next morning they saw Jack Working on a cold rainy day In the garden. Keep Keith and Mick sat down and began writing the song.

Adding (unless they've heard some of them) Beast of Burden, Angie, Start Me Up. There are a lot, I'm drawing a blank now. They had close to the number of great songs as the Beatles, reasonable that they were the original either/or. The Stones are also the only big band I've ever seen live, and even then, around 2000, they blew the doors off with an over 3 hour show (after Blues Traveler already played a 45 minute set).

[@kmcc01]

This generation is very lucky. All the lyrics are provided for you. Back in the 60's and 70's growing up you would listen to a song literally 50+ times to try and figure out the lyrics. And Jagger I believe in a interview said he sang them that way on some songs on purpose. If you think I'm kidding listen to their song Lies without having the lyrics in front of you, it's impossible! So once you got the lyrics halfway figured out you try and develop a meaning for the song from your own experiences. I was more into the lyrics 'cause I didn't have much of an ear for the musical side. Though I can appreciate some licks and. anything Alvin Lee.

Jack Flash was a super hero type character from popular British comic the Beano. Jack is an English old slang term for a young, knavish bloke usually from the lower classes. So a 'Flash Jack' could also mean young flash, lower class bloke. The term 'Jack' is used in many British phrases, terms, names etc. e.g. - The Jack or knave in a pack of cards. - Jack tar was a common term for sailors. - Jack ass: A low born idiot. - 'Everyman Jack of you' - Jack the Ripper. - Spring-heeled Jack. - Jack Frost. - Jack-of-all-trades. - Nursery rhymes like 'Jack & Jill'. Or 'Jack is Nimble, Jack is Quick, But Jill prefers the candle stick, It's twice as long, And twice as thick, And never fails to do the trick!' And so on.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

I have a VHS tape I recorded of Jumpin' Jack Flash from PBS many years ago. It's really great to watch because of all the CGI involved from the time. I doubt anyone else has it. Look at the song in this manner: No matter what life throws at you it's all right because you can come out of it just fine. Life is a gas because you can come out of it better for it.

[@richardjonesjr8422]

Most people don't understand the lyrics because Mick was at Keth's country estate. They were trying to write music for there next album with no luck because of bad case of writer's block. One cold foggy England morning after being up all night and drunk and high they were sitting in the house when Mick hears boots scraping on the stone walkway out side and ask Keth " What's that ?" Keth reply's " That's just the estates care taker Jumping Jack Flash ". Mick sits u and says what a grate name for a song, Tell me all about him. The lyrics are short snip its about Jack's life time It's a gas is a shorten down version of the saying, "Now were cooking with gas". That comes from when the country started going from wood stoves to gas stoves that were easier, faster and HOTTER.

Mick and Keith were both born in 1943, in Dartford, in the southern suburbs of London. In the middle of World War II therefore… At that time, at nightfall, England was subjected to the violent bombardments of the German air force. London was the target, but anti-aircraft defences often prevented bombers from dropping their charges on the capital. Forced to retreat, the planes then dropped their charges on their way home… on Dartford and the little blond heads of Mick and Keith, … just to have made the trip for a reason… So, 25 years later, it’s Jumpin’ Jack Flash, released in May 1968… the picture of a night’s daily life in Dartford, Kent, circa 1943/1944: the screaming sirens, the roaring of invisible planes above the clouds, the projectors that illuminate the dark sky, the bombs that shoot blindly, and the DCA fire, the race for shelter… All in the pouring rain. Listen, you should hear all this… Nothing to shake the Glimmer Twins… “… but it’s all right now In fact it’s a gas But it’s all right Jumpin'jack flash It’s a gas gas gas…” A little lesson on how to overcome adversity and keep smiling.

In 1968, "It's a gas" was slang for "It's a lot of fun". It's a song without a lot of meaning. Apparently Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were writing songs at Keith's house in England, and Keith had a gardener named Jack, and everyone called him Jack Flash. They saw him walk past the window, Keith said there goes Jumpin' Jack Flash, and they wrote a song because it sounded good. Not every song is "about" much of anything.

In this episode of Brad & Lex, the classic cut commits to creating collective confusion amongst the duo as they search for meaning to to this 1968 rock tune. Brad and Lex seem to trade places as the ever so analytical Brad unusually sums up Jagger's lyrics to just being a "fun" song while Lex adds unseen dimensions and possibilities to the legendary track exhibiting a jolly "bop" as Brad's physical form contradicts his synopsis with a tame "side to side sway".

I've noticed, over the last few videos I've watched, that Brad has started to get into the music a bit more than he used to. It's funny because I used to scream at him to just have fun. Now I miss his lyrical analytics.

Will Brad finally chill to the vibe? Will Lex ever find a song that tastes like vomit jelly beans? Tune in next stream to find out!

[@kylesage-clontz]

You've been waiting for months to use that alliteration, haven't you? :-)

[@conureron3792]

I look forward to your reaction synopsis @Smitty

[@anvilseventy-six7715]

1968....We did this in our Junior high rock band as main song on our limited set list....from 1968 to 1971. Esp 1970-71. One of the Stone's best, just rocks to me. It's got a back beat laid down by the recently late drummer Charlie Watts that you just can't beat or improve on. He was like a perfect metronome, him and Ringo of the Beatles. one funny note: We would throw in a line changed to see if people noticed: "Jumpin' Jack Flash, he's got gas...." and would giggle at the idea.

You could spend the next year listening to the stones and go WOW !! 😎

[@stuarthastie6374]

A Jumpin Jack is a firework that you throw between peoples legs, it explodes jumps a foot into the air , explodes again into then repeats this up to ten times.. It is constructed by filling a paper straw with gunpowder and folding it to make pockets of gumpowder. Gas means fun and excitment.

[@hifinsword]

It's funny to watch you Brad and Lex try to figure out the lexicon of the 1960s! It's a gas is a way, as you figured out, to be chilled, have a party.

[@philliprollfing1815]

it's a gas - Something is a thoroughly entertaining, enjoyable, or amusing time. You guys have to come to this party-it's a gas! I went out last night with all my old high school buddies for a night on the town. It was a gas!

If you haven't already, you may want to to explore "Sympathy For the Devil", "Far Away Eyes" & "Honky-tonk Woman", also by the Rolling Stones! Three gotta know Stones Songs!!!

[@MartinBryan]

Good insight Brad! Once again I must say love you guys!!

[@stephensupernor4481]

The Stones are definitely top 3 of my classic rock bands! 🤘😈🤘

[@bluetopguitar1104]

I love this song. Whenever I'm feeling down it gets me up. Johnny winter does a great cover version. The stones at their peak with Brian Jones.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

That's one of the most hilarious speculative analyses of this song I've ever heard. Wow, but yeah Brad basically nailed it. So funny, all the meanings you guys came up with.

[@markgallemore8856]

Don McLean made a reference to Mick Jagger and this song in the song American pie “Jack flash sat on a candlestick because fire is the devils only friend”

[@kevincanter2575]

I was reading the comments and HAD to reply....Gas gas gas WAS 60s slang for having a good time etc.. Jack was Micks gardener/handyman!! He was a bit older than the Stones and was polite, hardworking, and could care less that Mick was famous. Mick bought a Castle and He just kinda came with the Castle. Keith visited often back then (Before Anita..ha) and really liked Jack and gave him the nickname Jumpin Jack!! "And how was your evening last night Mr. Keith"? "We had a gas Jumpin Jack." Mick added Flash cause it rhymed...... Songwriters just get inspiration from anywhere and Mick thought it was a great song title!! That is the story, and ive been in many bands and i love the Stones and just know a lot of useless information Ha

[@christophersessions3375]

The story I heard was that Mick and Keith were sitting around at an estate somewhere, and an old caretaker was talking about how hard they had it when he was a kid, and how the current young people didn't know how good they had it. And their punch line was "But it's alright now...", a snarky way of saying "should everything stay shitty so you can feel better about it?"
