LC Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I loved this song from the time I got the Stones' great Some Girls album in 1978. But somehow, I never saw the "official promotional video" until today, per an offline email thread with Rhonda. I still love the song, for its irreverence, lazy pace, understated humor, and country influence. And I love the video for the same reasons. The Stones make you wanna smile all the way through... The boys are sitting around some modest kitchen — Mick Jagger at a piano, Keith Richards with his guitar, Ron Wood on pedal steel, Charlie Watts doing his backbeat, Bill Wyman off in a corner on bass.... If you've never seen it or haven't seen it in a long time, enjoy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That was fun, but they ain't playing- singing, yes, but they ain't playing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Well, yes, Kirk — I know they weren't actually playing the instruments for the video. They were in a kitchen! Plus, Mick isn't a pianist. Give me a little credit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda B Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Thanks for posting LC. I forgot all about that song.. it is very light hearted and fun. Love their harmonies...perfect for that song. It's hard to focus on anything else but Mick's lips in that video. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 I can play a little piano too… but not enough to lay it down on a Stones track. Same with Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Only the 2nd Country song by The Rolling Stones. Their first was "Country Honk" (from 1969 "Let It Bleed") which is a Country version of "Honky Tonk Women". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Love the song and video also. Though I didn't like the 2 big hits - "Miss You" and "B of Burden"...the rest of the album was pretty much wall to wall great. For my tastes, their sound peaked with the Some Girls album and ( though its not a consistent album )..the Black and Blue album with songs with a cool sound like "Fool to "Cry" and "Memory Motel". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Wow!...ironically, after posting the above, I hit the beach, and there was a live local band playing at the open air no frills restaurant just down the beach from my condo.. The band was playing like a 10 minute version of "Miss You" which I could hear from 100s of yards away. They played a 3ish minute jam towards the end of the song with a strong kead guitar standing out. It rocked !! I never liked the song, but this band's version was off the charts. I was so impressed I had to go up to the stage just to give the band a thumbs up, then continued on with my beach workout. P. S. I think the band thought I was a terrorist, at least at first. : ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it great when "coincidences" like that happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie B Trask Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The stones promo videos always had prerecorded the music and backing vocals but Mick usually did the vocals live. Did not lip synch good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
