Most Stones tunes make us bounce and sing along, but do they bring back any particular memories or associations??  One person names a song then the next tells what it reminds us of, and names another song.  I'll start
Brown Sugar: scene of Keith dancing around the room while playing an earlier version of the tune from the movie "Gimme Shelter"

Coming Down Again

Coming Down Again

A beautiful song, with this great lyric:

Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie
Tasting better ev'ry time
She turned green and tried to make me cry
Being hungry it ain't no crime

But this photo always comes to mind... ;)

Jigsaw Puzzle

makes me think of my grandma. Jigsaw puzzles is her biggest hobby and she spends hours working on them. She has several glued and framed in her apartment.

Waiting on a friend

great thread by the way.

Waiting on a friend reminds me of really hot days in AC, when we would be drinking outside, smoking weed and sweating and lusting hard at the girls walking to the beach.

Crazy Mama'

Summer of 1976, had a convertible '72 Mustang at my disposal, would
toot 'round town with a trunk full of Miller "smalls" along with this song
blazing from the 8 track playa....Beach scenes with bonfires....I'm flashbacking
now......great thread....

Live With Me

When I was in New York for the MSG shows two years ago, I had a few hours on my own  to kill on my last night there (Saturday) so after making my obligatory visit to the Dakota, I decided to take a walk through Central Park even though it was very dark. Naturally enough, I started singing. The two guys walking behind me certainly must have thought I was 'crazy'....

i think this game is a bit to complicated really and it won't reach 500.
but i'll speak on behalf of gazza and say well this song reminds me of a long lost flame who i still think of from time to time.

Game took a left turn with Gazza, does he think he gets a free pass or something?

Memory Motel reminds me of an old boyfriend. One of the few guys I've been really head-over-heels about. We'd come home from the club around 3am, then lounge on his couch and he'd play guitar and sing for me till the sun came up. "Memory Motel" was one of those songs. Damn, he could play guitar just like a-ringin' a bell.

i never did that.  i always blew hard once or twice and that seemed to solve the problem.  and if the record skipped i would tape a penny/nickel/dime or a quarter to the head of the arm and that solved that problem.

Gimme Shelter..opening chords have haunted me since the first time I heard the song and continue to put me in a trance to this day. First stadium show ...1975....sitting way up high....GS is played and like lemmings to the sea three 15 year olds drag their adult chaperones to the floor and end up fighting our way to the front of the stage.

This song reminds me of recording songs off the radio. I would make piles of tapes, desperately trying to obtain music, since i couldn't afford to buy all i wanted. i also just wanted to hear stuff, to know wat i might want and not want. This song was part of a 3 song block I recorded on WMMR 93.3 in Philly. I soon would own the ER album. I loved this tune. In 1980 I was still so oyung, and trying to figure out The Stones, I actually thought this song was from the infamous SNL performance. I pictured Jane Curting, Gilda Radner and Lorrsine Newman singing the back up. I love, love, love this song. It's got energy and balls and it's just a fun song about partying and getting laid.

Next Up, Let It Bleed.

BTMMR - 1993,  DAR Constitution Hall, DC.  I'm like 5 years old, with my parents, at the Winos show.  They came on late, so around midnight I fell asleep, right after hearing this song I believe.  Anyways I was asleep during "Happy" when the power went out, can't remember much other than people telling my parents they couldnt believe a kid could sleep like a baby when the sound could probably be heard from miles away.

OH please....I'll take it.
GHS was my first Stones album. I was a very naive 13 and Star Star evoked what would later become known as the BLANK FRIGGIN STARE. But it grew on my and made me giggle as only young teenage girls coming to terms with their sexuality can giggle. They did it live at my first Stones show in 75 and it's been one of my favs ever since.

Naughty song, by a very naughty Band. And I liked it.

Damn..which one SFM or ATGB????

I'll take; As tears Go By

Of course one of the first Stones songs I remember learning all the words to..

Ya know we young teens loved to slow dance..
Or was that a make out song
I can't remember ;)

Street Fighting Man -
When I was little I would play BB on cassette.  The piano during the outro was like heaven to me, so I would often listen to the song on repeat.  I also associate it with my first Stones show (opening night, DC 8/94), when they did some crazy sh*t (blow up dogs or something on stage???) during the VL tour, and I was thinking..this is the best night of my life (so far!)!!!

next: Tell Me

Tell Me- I always thought it sounded so proper- I remember recording it off the radio to play around the pool 1980 or so.

Next up  Down In The Hole-

I'll bite.


Down In The Hole?

Great tune. I remember being a cook at a Pizza Hut in Marietta, Ga when Emotional Rescue came out. My buddy Mark Simms and I worked at this Pizza Hut, and we were both Stones' freaks. This was the b-side to the title track on the jukebox. We played it over and over again. We played that song so much that the manager told us to knock it off or he'd remove it from the jukebox. We3 would just until he left and then crank it up repeatedly. Good times!


Okay so here's the next one


Crackin' Up


Riffy

Shit "Down in Hole" really made me remember great things in my life... too late

Crackin' Up  and the whole Side 3 of Love You Live made me remember a very special time of my life, I was in college, probably some the best days of my life.... I don't know why but during those days everytime I played side 3 it was something in the air  :weed and of course crackin' up  with it

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y28/gliedo/Second/h8-loveyoulivead.jpg

Next Rocks Off!

Ok, "Rocks Off"....

I got Exile when it came out, and I played it every single day for, oh, I don't know, months! And, when Rocks Off came on, I knew I was in for a supreme 2 lp's worth of some of the best Stones songs of all time....{before and since, although the "since" hadn't happened yet!} So, for me, RO meant that the great songs were just beginning... :)

I know I'm bending the rules, but I've got to go back to this one. "Tell Me" was one of the first Stones songs that ever really grabbed me. Those harmonies by Keith really make this song for me. It reminds me of sitting in the back of my parents' car on a Friday night, going up to the mountains, and "playing" the song in my head because we didn't have a car radio.


I'll let someone else take "No Expectations."

I got Beggar's Banquet when I was a junior in high school, on tape, from a Record Bar in St. Louis (I actually think it was Chesterfield, but, same thing).  It was my fourth full length Stones album, after 1) Dirty Work 2) Aftermath and 3) Some Girls.  I also had Hot Rocks at the time.   I knew the Stones were some kind of big fucking deal to me, but it was really Beggar's that sealed the deal and I kind of knew it from first listen.

I put it in my walkman-like knockoff device whilst sitting in the backseat on the way to the Cardinals game I was attending with my folks.  I already knew Sympathy, so No Expectations was where that album truly began for me.  I can still remember the first time I ever heard it, leaning against the passenger side back seat door, looking out over 40/61 going by, while that slide guitar slipped through my head.  I felt like I was entering another world entirely.  

Next up:

First time I heard SOM was when 96 Rock was playing every song of the album. I was at a car wash and thought it was a very cool song!

next up- Harlem Shuffle

cool choice, SG...My dad used to have the Flashpoint/Collectibles CD combo in his truck's center console back in the 90s, and whenever we'd go places, those two discs would get a lot of play.  I especially loved the nearly 8-minute long Winning Ugly, cause it was less 80s and had some interesting instrumental breakdowns.  Anyway I also loved playing the long version of Harlem Shuffle from Collectibles, I could really get into a grove with that one.  Great album for the drives on I-95 to UMD Terps games (Steve Franchise baby!) or DC.

Bite your tongue with the barging in thought!!!! I've been waiting for you to chime in on this great thread.

Winnie!!!!!  So sweet!!!!

LJ.

my earliest: angie - in 73 when the song was big.....  my mom and cousins doing some summer house cleaning while the radio is on - and angie is playing - I was about seven and i had this strange aversion to it...hated it!
there was something in jagger's voice that irritated me - he sounded to me like he was mocking the listener...ha - i had it right/
i guess i was meant to fall in love - eventually - with this band.

and again in the summer of 78 - before i fell, so to speak...
hearing miss you on the car radio - the song had irritated me - but watching my cool cousins from the valley (border town region in texas, not cali) singing/talking it word-for-word was my first clue that i was missing out on something cooler than i was at that time.

monkey man

C'mon people... You go with the song that the person picks before you, and don't forget to pick a song after you post, and stop with the random interuptions of a song you just decide to write about.
:will-ya

lets do this-

up now Crazy Mamma!

Can I do CYHMK instead? We can get back to Crazy Mama.

When I lived in Africa, I walked my dog every evening while my wife rode her horse.  I'd hit off my little dugout as we walked (law? what law?) and I'd stop at a "buvette,"  a little divey watering hole with broken plastic furniture outside on the red clay.  I'd sit with the dog at my feet and have a beer watching the ladies come back from the river with laundry on their heads.  I made friends with the proprietor and one day gave him Sticky Fingers as a present.  He would play it all the time, but one of his speakers was blown, so CYHMK would play without Keith's part at all!  But let me tell you, despite those being some of Keith's greatest licks ever, Taylor's part carried the song nearly as well.  I suspect Sticky Fingers is still blasting out of that one speaker today.  They didn't exactly have a large collection.

Now, that is a COOL story, Zack.... :) 8-)

Holy crap!  That's JUST what I was going to say about Crazy Mama until the other story popped into my head.  I love that thing!

Some Girls:  I always think of my recording of the 1-25-99 debut in Oaklan wondering how Jagger was going to handle the "controversial" line, and loving the fact he said "some WHITE girls just want to get f***ed all night."

Next song:

Time Waits for No One

Time waits for no one- wow what an awesomw tune. way back in the late 70's I got a five finger discount from Treasure Island on highway 41 on an IORR cassette and I walked all over my neighborhood in the summer of 79 with my little boom box blasting!

My best friend in high school was trying to get with this girl who he considered to be an ice queen.  It had been the source of much discussion and frustration on his part.  This song was mentioned as being "about her" more than once.   We were wasting time driving around my hometown one Friday night listening to some Stones tape I'd made and we picked her and a friend of hers up at the local Shell, a pretty usual stop-and-switch-cars spot in our pop 1001 town.  We drove around for a while drinking Michelob, but it was getting pretty nowhere for either of us.

This song came on the tape he had and we started singing it loud and laughing our guts out.  There was no doubt to whom the laughter and silliness was directed.  Boy were they PISSED.   They got out at the Shell after the next loop.  We didn't get any action that night but that sure was funny.  

Next Up:  Midnight Rambler

oh wow well if anyone else wants to take MR they can since I'm sure we all have something to say about this tune..when I was little I was literally scared of the album version.  Like I wouldn't play it at night.  The song has given me many eargasms (mostly live versions) over the years, so it's basically associated with pure enjoyment.  But I'll always think of Ya Ya's when I think of this song, as it is a microcosm of that album and the beginning of the prime era of Stones live shows.  While the Brussels version and many others may exceed the '69 version in terms of musicianship, the tempo, singing, and unity of the band on that version cannot be touched.

Wills? LOL! Wow it's a small world. I went to Wheeler, and then I graduated from Kenwood. Or as we used to call it Kenweed. I actually bought Sucking In The Seventies at that Treasure Island. I lived within a stone's throw from that store.

Cool tune, I recently discovered the lyrics were different from what I thought

No good, can't speak, wound up, no sleep.
Sky diver insider her, skip rope, stunt flyer.
Wounded lover, got no time on hand.
One last cycle, thrill freak Uncle Sam.
Pause for bus'ness, hope you'll understand.
Judge and jury walk out hand in hand.
Dietrich movies, close up boogies,
Kissing cunt in Cannes.

Grotesque music, million dollar sad.
Got no tactics, got no time on hand.
Left shoe shuffle, right shoe muffle,
Sinking in the sand.
Fade out freedom, steaming heat on,
Watch that hat in black.
Finger twitching, got no time on hand.

Next up- Ain't no use in crying.

reminds me of the first time I heard it, Mick Jagger posters on the wall above my stereo, and listening to Tattoo You over and over and over again the day it came out, and I made my mom take me to the mall and get my copy, then proceeding to drive my family nuts by making them hear that album  constantly...:)


next up.... Stray Cat Blues
