Sure. Howe's this? Jack is John "Jack" McCain and "It's a gas, gas, gas" refers to his allegiance to Big Oil.

Each is the greatest song in its subgenre.

Posts: 253 In the timbers of Fennario Gender:	Re: Jumpin' Jack Flash Reply #15 - Aug 28^th, 2008 at 1:29am Jumping Jack Flash is the greatest rock and roll song ever conceived. There is no arguing this fact. It's a goddamn mathematical equation. JJF = Perfection. If anyone - anyone - disagrees, they are a waste of human life.

Who Gets the songwriting credits for the Stones greatest songs, not Wyman, Jones or Mick Taylor (which is why he left The fucking rolling Stones, Time waits for no one) it wasn't Keith passed out on the floor from to much Heroin, it was Mick Taylor!!!!!!!!!!!! he left The Stones from not getting song writing credits for their greatest songs from '71' to '74'

Robert Johnson wrote "Love In Vain" so who does it get credit to on "Let It Bleed" guess who? the same can be said about Led Zep "The Lemon Song" (Killing Floor) & a hundred other songs, but in The Stones, when you've got members belong to the same group, when a person is the original source of the music, it still get's credited to Jagger/Richards, what's this all about.
