Would SMU had been more popular/publicly accepted without that lyric. Does the lyric hurt the song? Why include it? Does it even make sense? Do you want your kids hearing that?

Hardly the worst lyric they've ever come up with.

They had a Super Bowl halftime performance in mind when they wrote that song.

It was/is as popular as it gets.

OK I think they added that to prove a point, if someone can actually make a dead man cum, they must be pretty damn special! Also, I did have that song playing many times when my kids were younger and in the car and I used that as an opportunity for sex education. Uh kids, you know that dead men dont cum, right? Only living people do when they are having sex, its the climax, the part that leads to pregnancy. NOBODY WANTS THAT so keep it to yourselves! More on that later when you get a boyfriend/girlfriend. Kids need to learn this early on.   

Please see the Tom Waits song "Pasties and a G String" released on the 1976 album Small Change.

Glad that little mystery is finally solved. Though I wonder... did the guys bang the same chick Tom Waits did? Was using the same line in SMU just their way of agreeing with him? Was SMU about her?

Well, now you all have that to think about.

Agreed .. how friggin popular do ya want it...? It charted extremely well when it was released (almost #1) and has since become a staple for not only The Stones but in in Rock, basically (among other events at times).

Start Me Up (....more popular?). Since when was / is it kept down??

Very good stuff.....maybe this makes it to the Stones Blues Album?..lmao

Just ask a lady how she feels about this:

Honey you're so hot that you make a dead man resurrect to love you, well...wait baby in addition to that, you make the resurrected man cum!

So it’s a nice way to tell someone she’s the hottest

And I don’t think that part of the lyrics affected the popularity of the song and the album, it was several weeks on top of the charts and they still play that song on live shows

Never heard that one before. I'm off to memorize those lyrics.

I won't have children because I hate them, and I think those lyrics are amusing.

Could have just tossed in another couple grown man cries.

I don't think we have to be worried about kids listening to the Stones..

Why did they add that lyric........you call yourself a bloody stones fan...and ask such a question??????  LMBAO

She can't help it, the girl can't help it
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

If she walks by and the men folks get engrossed
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she winks an eye and bread slices turn to toast
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she's got a lot of what they call the most
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

The girl can't help it if she was born to please
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
Won't you kindly be aware
The girl can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she mesmerizes ev'ry mother's son
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she smiles and beef steaks become well done
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she makes grandpa feel like twenty one
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

The Girl can't help it if she was born to please
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
And if I go to her on bended knees
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
Won't you kindly be aware, that I can't help it, I can't help it

Because I'm hopin' obviously
That someday the answer will be
The girl can't help it if she's in love with me
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

If she walks by and the menfolks get engrossed
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she winks an eye and bread slices turn to toast
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
If she's got a lot of what they call the most
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

The girl can't help it if she was born to please
She can't help it, the girl can't help it
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

I'm hopin' obviously
That someday the answer will be
The girl can't help it if she's in love with me
She can't help it, the girl can't help it

THIS THREAD MAKES A DEAD MAN SHIT HISSELF.

The song was a #1 world hit and is played at arenas and stadiums all over North America during sports events.

Was there ever an issue with the lyrical coda??
I heard it on radios...That music channel that used to play music videos 24 hrs...

I know the band tends to sing the line once and end the song soon thereafter.

Yep. I heard "It's Only Rock n' Roll" in the super market a few days ago. Not exactly a safe (or even pleasant) lyric. Twas odd: I found myself looking at various females in a distinctly libidinous manner for about four minutes, as I perused Swiss cheese, frozen egg rolls and watermelon, etc.

I heard a Muzak version of "Blinded by Rainbows' at a cafeteria one day.

I was halfway through my liver & onions when I finally realized what I was hearing.
