Jagger dismissed the movie, saying, "That was a load of shit.

Yes it was, Mick. Yes it was. Blank Frigging Stare

“What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there,” he says. “All they need is a drum beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.” - Keef

There are many tales about the roots of that fine ditty. For example, that it began as 'Brow Sugar' when an unsealed bag of demerara fell out of a cupboard in the kitchenette of Marsha Hunt's flatlette and many grains took residence on MJ's forehead. Or even that the chorus - of 'Don's Sugar, how come you taste so good?' was a very early sing-along inspired by Donald Thursby at 94 Edith Grove whenever he kindly lent the boys some sweetener for their cuppas of char.
But the full and real meaning may now be lost in the mists of time.
