    This song did not get played in radio because they thought it would incite rebellion amid the social upheaval in 1968. The single was eventually taken off stores. The people that bought it while it was still available have a very desirable and valuable piece of music history.

      I heard it on the radio at the time and I knew people that bought the single and the album it was on. Some of the conservative stations wouldn't play it. But I lived on Southern California and things were much looser here. It reached #48 so there had to be plenty of sales. BTW - the song is about why the Stones ARE NOT street fighters. It actually has a kind of sly humor to it. Personally, I think it's a fantastic song.

    Jagger tried to join a protest march in London with the rest of the 60's youth culture. It didn't go as he planned and was instantly recognized by fans. In the early 60's The Stones and The Beatles weren't yet writing polically oriented songs, but by the mid 60"s they realized that musicians could put a voice on the times they were living in. So what could a poor boy do? He could sing for a rock and roll band.

    Yes, it's a Viet Nam war protest song. In the US students and young people were rising up in protest about the government waging an unjust war, but in sleepy London Town there wasn't enthusiasm for such actions because the British were not so engaged in the Viet Nam War. The only avenue to vent his objections and rage was to sing for a rock n roll band.

    It's tracks like “Street Fighting Man” that showcase the recording audaciousness and experimental ingenuity of the Stones as they entered their apex. In your spare time, research the creation and evolution of this thrashing rocker, which was initially recorded on Keith’s cassette machine. It features zero electric guitars, and that mammoth drum sound is simply the result of Charlie’s 1930s toy drum kit that he used for traveling and playing in his hotel room. Perhaps the most overlooked addition to the song is the Eastern Classical touches, as evident during its coda. Brian Jones plays a droning sitar and tamboura, while Traffic's Dave Mason provides a shehani.

    This was very representative of what was going on in 1968 when there were protests and riots in the streets, usually about protesting the Vietnam War. The song was a hit because the Stones were very hot by then after having big hits for four years and making many headlines. I don't really remember the song not being played or sold in stores. Songs about "revolution" were not so uncommon in 1968.

    The live version from 1969's "Get Your Ya Ya's Out" is hypnotic.
    The Rolling Stones, specifically Mick Jagger, had taken a very upfront approach to war in Vietnam in 1968. Mick Jagger joined the London protests against the war. This song was very confrontational call-to-arms, calling for revolution.."Think the time is right for palace revolution".
    In contrast, The Beatles had stayed out of commenting on the war, or politics in general -- as was Paul McCartney's approach.
    This song blindsided The Beatles, and caused John Lennon to quickly write their response "Revolution", which offered more of a watered-down view.

    the ability to protest the war in viet nam in sleepy London town was best accomplished by being in a R&R band and giving a message.
    While the soldiers were fighting a war in Viet Nam, protesters of the war were simultaneously fighting the govt in the streets-literally. There was bloodshed. The protest movement, re many issues, was a big issue in the 60s. It is referenced, often obliquely, in many of the songs of that era.

    I got this from a documentary, featuring quotes form Mick. Back in the day (late 60s), the Stones would play shows and all these guys would get violent in their enthusiasm for the music, mirrored by violent protests in the streets. The song reflects kind of what Lex pointed out. Angst about the world situation, challenging the establishment and not being able to do anything about it.

    Because this was 1968, and there were anti war marches in London at the time, to protest the Vietnam war. And to Keith Richards that meant revolution was in the air. So he wrote this song. Mick helped on some parts too. But I think it was mainly a Keith song.

    Yeah I think what he meant was with having the war footage in there is that's why they would want the revolutionist to stop the war kind of anti-war stuff yeah back in England there was a lot of different Hooligans they used to gather and have big street fights with lots of people it was pretty bizarre they were just having fun really hotels and talks about it yeah the mods and the Rockers they would show up at some touristy Beach area and get out there and just go to work on each other what I love is Brian Jones had that sitar in the background and then he's playing some kind of a northern African instrument there he got from Algeria or Morocco or something right at the end of the song yes so Keith was writing the song which was inspired by Tariq Ali who was doing an anti-war protest and then the police came in to stop like 25000 rioters but anyway but Brian Jones is playing at tambula and the sitar yeah when I was growing up this is one of my favorite songs of all time during that. P e r i o d Google will not put the word in so you got to spell it out hooray right Floridians take care down there in the dwindling Panhandle that's funny I say it's a panhandle you got a panhandle with a panhandle going towards Alabama okay you kids

    Perfect song for 1968. Which is when Beggar's Banquet was released. Or "dropped" as they now say.

    Once more Lex is spot on - The Stones hung out in Morocco and were influenced by the music there - Gypsy music.

    all the guitars in this song are acoustics. No electrics. They overdrove the mics and mixing board to get that distortion.

    As I recall, it was during this song that the Hells Angels, who the Stones hired for security, killed some people during the concert at Altamont in 1969-ish. The Stones didn't play this for many years afterward. Please correct me if I got it wrong. Too lazy right now to look it up. My favorite live version is from Get Yer Ya Yas Out -- ua-cam.com/video/M8gPQWSXZ4I/v-deo.html

    Brad: You need a bit of historical context for this one. In 1968 war and protests were happening all over the world except for the UK. I was 21 and living in London and it did indeed seem a sleepy town bent on compromise. Certainly not a place for a Street Fighting Man and in complete contrast to what was happening in our nearest neighbour France. So what could Mick do except play for a rock and roll band and try to highlight what was happening.
    This track was issued in the US as a single in 1968 and (as far as I understand it) banned by loads of radio stations. It was belatedly released as a 45 in the UK in 1971 but only after Decca had lost the Stones to their own record label.
    There's a great version by Rod Stewart from the album "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down" (1969) ua-cam.com/video/ZwNpMjFV5Qs/v-deo.html with a band which contains Ron Wood, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Mickey Waller among others. A rare case of both original and cover getting 10/10.

    Richards made that sound with a guitar and some kind of non musical device from way back. It spun and gave the sound that raw sound you were mentioning Miss Lex.

    @Henry Cole has it right about the London protests going on at the time. To Brad's point the Vietnam footage isn't really immediately relevant to the lyrics but whoever put the video together thought the war theme went well.. not sure. Not every protest in the 60's was around the war in Vietnam, it was a time of great social upheaval. Think about the what the 50's looked like and just ten years later the world looked very, very different.

    Lex you just can't help to move with the Stones. The song doesn't have to be any deeper than that,but it was a political tune. I was born in 56 and kids ahead of me were into the peace movement and were trying to protest peacefully. I gave them credit , but the marches weren't that peaceful,due to the cops whacking them and gassing them . Most all Rock n rollers were following the Beatles doing the love and peace stuff, but when this came out it was like this is over and time to fight back. When George had a knee on him that was the time to fight back . Peace and love unfortunately didn't save him . 😎
