I love this song and can never get enough of it.

And I don't know if I've ever heard "Street Fighting Man" before. If I have, it was so long ago that the song seemed new to me. I could hardly tell that a sitar was hiding out in the song. I think it added some sparkly notes but I had difficulty picking out the instrument from the mix. BTW, we've had some street fights and riots in Iowa. Beer + Boredom + Corn = Hitting, apparently. Even a stabbing or two. Yep, we're tough, we Iowans. Quote:
Yes, I *do* like the Rolling Stones, but I'm realizing I must not have heard a lot of their songs. I've seen them in concert twice, but obviously I've missed out on much of their music since I'd never heard "Backstreet Girl" and didn't remember the one Skaltezon posted. "Backstreet Girl" was sad...a very good song, I agree. Melancholy and completely condescending, like you say. The song gives an interesting character study of the sort of person who would want a backstreet girl, someone he's not proud of and doesn't want openly in his life. I can imagine her humiliation that someone wants to take from her and not give anything of value (love, respect, interest). What I find saddest about the song, though, is that the man seems to want to treat the people in his life shabbily. He isn't terribly concerned by what he is doing. He isn't malicious, but he isn't kind. It is painful to hear, really.

This song's been stuck in my head for at least the past 2 weeks.
