I think this is the best Stones sound, a fusion of blues, reggae, pop and rock with a taste of the groovy 60s mixed in.

"Occasionally?" Lex, you're classic!! 😆 Enjoy your journey through the Rolling Stones library of music. You have only skimmed the top, and have so many decades to go! Again, you two RAWK!! 🤘🤘

I love the feel of this song. I think its the marimba playing by Brian Jones that pushes this song over the top. I'm with Brad. We cancel our comedians in the 2020's. No one would see the humor in this song.

[@argentokaos2629]

A. I've listened to "Aftermath" many times. *Not* so sure Sir Mick's necessarily tryin' to be "funny" with this jam's lyrical intent. :D (As opposed to troll classics like "Stray Cat Blues" or "B***h"--- indeed pretty funny! :D) B. The Rolling Stones *will* stop playing certain songs live in the 2020s--- y'know, rhymes with "Clown Boogers." (Not saying that's good, not saying it's bad--- just sayin'.) C. A Black man got *murdered* while they played this song live. Again, not a mark on the lyrical content, but--- well, again, JS.

[@kylewoolsey6635]

@@argentokaos2629 You're funny! I'm going to steal "Clown Boogers" from you. Even if Mick considered this a revenge song, his lyrics are hilarious. I mean referring to her the "sweetest pet in the world", its meant to get a laugh from whoever he's telling his story to ( the listener).

[@ronkrupovich7152]

The lyrics of this song have stirred some controversy over the years. I'll leave them aside for others to debate. Musically, this song is one of the best from this group, with the marimbas played by Brian Jones and the unearthly guitars (lead and acoustic) by Keith Richards---Keith also plays the fuzz bass on this song. Rhythmically, this song is amazing. The lead guitar work is such a treat.

[@rcdug2]

...and the sublime jazzy percussion of the great Charlie Watts. A treat, I couldn't agree more.

[@richlisola1]

The song expresses a true relationship dynamic. I hate the word controversy, and I hate that an artist should be made to kneel before censorship, self-censored or otherwise.

'Under my thumb' means subservient and controlled. 'Wrapped around my finger' means free but I can easily manipulate her whenever I want to.

[@Transmodulator]

One of my favourites of the Stones, i definitely enjoy the older stuff much more than the newer stuff. The certainly got much more groove. I wouldn't take the lyrics to serious, though. Check out Mother's little helper, it's also one of the old ones where humor plays the bigger role.

[@fidge54]

These lyrics were as different then as they would be now. You rarely saw a woman or gitl singing along it. But we teenage boys loved it

The song moves like a sexy, sinewy snake...a mid 1960's ode to keeping a girl under Mick's control. This is the type of song that kept the moms of the world from embracing the "thug" Stones and running into the arms of the "safe" Beatles. Their daughters didn't seem to mind either way.

[@glenngotling657]

Another Stones groove. I'm more of a groove/melody lover than lyrics and the Stones almost always have groove/melody that I like regardless of the lyrics.

[@fundies2]

Yes, they seem to excel at groove. This song along with Miss You and Give me shelter and so many more.

[@glenngotling657]

@@fundies2 Miss You and Gimme Shelter are two of my favorites as well. Another that doesn't get as much attention as I think it should is Time Waits For No One which has great guitar work by Mick Taylor and the lyrics are pretty good too.

[@Mike-rk8px]

At my parents wedding in 1967 they had a DJ instead of a live band, and this song got played. My parents thought it was hilarious, especially since my mother was a very liberated woman and would’ve never let a man tell her what to do.

[@albertjonasjesusmoura742]

Under my thumb is an expression from falconry. The birds have straps/jesses on their feet and when held, the jess goes under the thumb. Then the bird cannot escape.

[@sjw5797]

If you think this is bad you should hear their song "Stupid Girl", from the same time period. Much later, Ellen Foley (the woman who sang with Meat Loaf on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light") recorded a cover of "Stupid Girl" and put a whole new spin on it. All consideration of the lyrics aside, I think this is a terrific example of the early Stones after they stopped being just a blues cover band and started playing songs of their own. Musically it's very innovative, with the marimba and all. Another early Stones song that has a similar musical vibe, minus the misogyny, is "Out of Time".

[@ed.z.]

Excellent remark. I wish I said it.

The “under my thumb” comes from falconry. When the bird is perched on the glove the falconer holds the leash under the thumb. Means having control on the animal.

[@Russ-gy7tx]

My wife and I attended The Stones concert last year soon after the passing of Charlie Watts and they did not perform "Under My Thumb" and "Brown Sugar." So yes, these are different times.

[@andythrush3341]

Love the arrangement. The vocals are great. Lyrically, it couldn't be repeat.

[@RhettAnderson]

Wow, "occasionally" is a hell of an answer from Lex. Funny. After you've heard a lot of the Stones, you start to suspect that they are messing with the listener. You start to wonder what's going to happen next. You figure the persona singing the song will probably lose the girl. Jagger plays characters.

[@KingOFuh]

Mick may have been inspired by Marianne Faithfull, his main squeeze at the time and the person (along with Keith) most responsible for her career. So Marianne was arrogant and spoiled, coming from wealth, having every man who ever met her back then wanting to "know" her because she had such a uniquely angelic face and nice Tetons. A major conquest for Mick, keeping her was a motivation for his early and rapid success. So once Mick got "Satisfaction"-level famous, the power shift was complete. She was under his thumb.

[@ArgonTheAware]

Maybe the change from being wrapped around her finger came from the way he was using his thumb on her

[@penneylegend7341]

That!

[@brendahhstiles9992]

I think they just went purposefully over the top on this one, but the groove is definitely there.

This brings back memories of being a teenager in the 70's when a friend and me used to rewind this over and over on the cassette while drinking beer getting ready to go party.

[@daveborder7751]

It was not released as a single in any English speaking country, which being such a classic & obviously commercial song tells you how nervous the record company was. Probably in large part because a few years earlier a girl band called The Crystals released a song called He Hit Me & It Felt Like A Kiss-which caused mass outrage & was pulled from the airwaves quickly.

[@twenty3enigma]

How did we forget about that one? Thanks, Dave. 👍

[@blackenreed1425]

The answer to Brad's final question is "NO!" - you should have seen the gleam in his eyes when the sang about the squirmin' dog who's had her day 🙂 Luckily in those days the older generation disliked "our" music by reflex and listened as little as possible - so things like this and "Lola" by the Kinks escaped censorship.

[@nealanderson9719]

Man.. the U.S.A. has always been weird about what they've tried to censor... As long as the lyrics were somewhat cryptic and not too lewd, crude, or blasphemous, you could pretty much say anything up until the 90's. 90's music really pushed the boundaries on censorship and you could pretty much say anything short of threatening assasination on the President. Now we're backtracking in that department with the SJW's, I think there's a balance that is always being pushed in one direction or the other. As for why the older generation didn't censor music, they would have been huge hypocrites... Frank Sinatra and James Brown had some equally misogynistic and offensive songs, even when measured up against "Under My Thumb".

[@ZenWithKen]

The is a Canadian Band called Streetheart that covers this song and it is amazing. I don't think any reaction channel has done Streetheart yet, you should check them out.

[@JP13007]

[@dmgallibond469]

Brad and Lex, I love the journey you are on because you've learned a valuable lesson that so many people fail to learn--you've learned how to listen to songs in the context of their era. I applaud you for knowing where your values are and sticking to them while still being able to look back with a laugh and say, "Wow--that era was really different!" That's a mature and healthy attitude. I think there's definitely some "tongue-in-cheek" going on in the lyrics. The 60s were the era when women were first beginning to really assert themselves as independent, and there was a backlash from older generations (the politicians, pundits, and thought leaders of the day).

[@Taryngracia]

They still play this song live (in their last 2021 concert)- the only one I could find they said they won’t is Brown Sugar … as far as I can find

Another dance party song from my youth! I was a bit young for most Rolling Stones songs when this came out, but friends who had older siblings introduced me to it.

[@philvallee645]

This song is definitely of an era. I was too young to know what the reaction was to this when it came out but when I started listening to this song in the 70s attitudes towards women were changing but not quite as evolved as they might be today, there was still some old school guys willing to show a woman what’s what. Just watch some of the old James Bond movies with Sean Connery, man when some woman gave him lip it was the back of his hand. Watching that stuff now is shocking but no one batted an eye back then. Also, being wrapped around someone’s finger suggests you are so enamoured with the person you’ll do anything for them. Being “under their thumb” is much darker and probably not so voluntary… I wouldn’t exactly call it healthy.

The phrase "under one's thumb" implies a certain level of coercion on the part of the one with the power whereas the phrase "wrapped around one's finger" implies a willingness on the part of the one surrendering power.

[@solitarymessengeable]

Throughout the 60's and 70's I was not much of a Stones guy. Never saw them do anything live on tv i liked. Me a Jimi kinda guy. October 1981 at candlestick was 100 degrees. Spent 3 hrs in line baking, wired and filling a bag of oranges with vodka. Came to see J geils again. When they were done shaking the ground, I figured the party was over. Stones took the stage. Started off killing Under My Thumb. Stadium exploded. Sea of people exploding in all directions. Guy climbing the foul poll. The crew turned on the fire hoses and poured cool rain down on us. Change it all.

[@vrvaughn]

Classic Kieth opening riff…

[@ls1959]

This song fed into the image the Stones were developing as the bad boys in contrast to the good Beatles. While the Beatles sang I want to hold your hand, the Stones sang Let's spend the night together and Under My Thumb. And some of the bad boy lyrics continued on in the following albums with Stray Cat Blues, Sympathy for the Devil, Midnight Rambler, and Brown Sugar, among many others. The Stones pushed the boundaries in their day both musically and lyrically. Some music has aged well and others not so much, most notably Brown Sugar.

[@TT-fq7pl]

The "goodness" of the Beatles is as exaggerated as the "badness" of the Stones. When Ed Sullivan wanted the Stones to sing "Let's Spend Some Time Together," they complied. Why? Because Jagger, a graduate of the London School of Economics, has always known what side his bread's buttered on. Imagine him writing a song like Lennon's "Working Class Hero." Impossible.
