I would go for that one too “Under my Thumb” - we had the old 45 as kids - reverse was “Have you Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?” (also a great song).

I understand the Stones no longer play “Under My Thumb” in concert b/c reasons - someone, somewhere might get his/her feelings hurt or feel offended.

Yeah, a GREAT but sexist hit. Probably autobiographical, too. But then, when is the last time a rap "artist" was banned for poor taste in lyrics?

People have the same issue with “Some Girls” because of the lyric “Black girls just wanted to get f##k#d all night”

Personally I just absolutely love “Far Away Eyes” on the album Some Girls.
“she was off with the nearest truck driver she could find”

They just don’t wright songs like that anymore.
