"Occasionally?" Lex, you're classic!! 😆 Enjoy your journey through the Rolling Stones library of music. You have only skimmed the top, and have so many decades to go! Again, you two RAWK!! 🤘🤘
It’s just got a little warm in here , wosh….
😂😂😂🤣😂! Loved that comment; yes classic!
The lyrics of this song have stirred some controversy over the years. I'll leave them aside for others to debate. Musically, this song is one of the best from this group, with the marimbas played by Brian Jones and the unearthly guitars (lead and acoustic) by Keith Richards---Keith also plays the fuzz bass on this song. Rhythmically, this song is amazing. The lead guitar work is such a treat.
...and the sublime jazzy percussion of the great Charlie Watts. A treat, I couldn't agree more.
The song expresses a true relationship dynamic. I hate the word controversy, and I hate that an artist should be made to kneel before censorship, self-censored or otherwise.
I've always loved this song. It's how you listen to I guess. Listen to Wild Horses. ❤️❤️
@@melaniewalker4060 One of my favourites! Have been singing that song for over 50 years.
@@ronkrupovich7152 this and Get off of my cloud. ❤️❤️❤️ Sympathy for the devil... They're just everything to me. 😀
Another classic stones tune that Brian Jones (the founder) totally elevates. RIP Brian - the true visionary of the band and true rolling stone
He’s not the true visionary of the band. A visionary, sure… perhaps but not “of the band”.
@@jpetersgoyanksyou know what was meant smh, it was Brian's band no Brian no Stones
I think this is the first time when Brad got it more than Lex! No way this would fly today, in fact even in 1966 when they wrote it, the record label refused to release it as a single
He got 'Hook' by Blues Traveler really quick. Started chuckling about halfway through the first verse. He's a smart guy.
Ya only rappers are allowed to release absurd sexist music these days.
Brad always stares at the lyrics looking for something to be offended by lol 😂
@@stephenulmer3781 He's looking at it through the eyes of his peers back in California. Floridians are a bit more open-minded.
@@michelleplombe7019 Not “open-minded” in a good way, though
This is one of my favorites from them
One of my favourites of the Stones, i definitely enjoy the older stuff much more than the newer stuff. The certainly got much more groove. I wouldn't take the lyrics to serious, though. Check out Mother's little helper, it's also one of the old ones where humor plays the bigger role.
Can't forget that movie Gimme Shelter about the concert at Altamont Speedway and this song playing, that drugged out guy being thrown off stage by the Hells Angels, and then of course the stabbing.
Brad: "Do you want to be under my thumb?". Lex: "Um, occasionally?". LOLOLOLZ. OMG, Lex -- You are HILARIOUS!! And I totally get you!! That was sooooo good -- you just made my day!!
Snap, Lex! 😂🤣😂😂
This one of best songs from the very early days of The Rolling Stones. I love their music from the 1960s.
Another Stones groove. I'm more of a groove/melody lover than lyrics and the Stones almost always have groove/melody that I like regardless of the lyrics.
Yes, they seem to excel at groove. This song along with Miss You and Give me shelter and so many more.
@@fundies2 Miss You and Gimme Shelter are two of my favorites as well. Another that doesn't get as much attention as I think it should is Time Waits For No One which has great guitar work by Mick Taylor and the lyrics are pretty good too.
@@glenngotling657 Meee tooo. I remember trying to find the extended version of Miss You and not being able to find it. Thankfully i found it here on UA-cam. This was back in the days when you can save videos from UA-cam and burn them on a cd. Ill have another listen to "Time Waits..." Been awhile since i have heard it. I have always enjoyed that smog. Looks like today the Stones will be my soundtrack.
I love the fuzzy bass on this. It kind of makes the band nerd vibe added by the xylophone sounds darker and mean.
Double bass vibes. ❤️🎶
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Wild Horses” and “Its Only Rock ‘n Roll”!!!
Among many, many,....many others..lol....like 60 yrs worth of hits.
Wild Horses!! One of my absolute Faves! 😉👍😁
I love the feel of this song. I think its the marimba playing by Brian Jones that pushes this song over the top. I'm with Brad. We cancel our comedians in the 2020's. No one would see the humor in this song.
A. I've listened to "Aftermath" many times. *Not* so sure Sir Mick's necessarily tryin' to be "funny" with this jam's lyrical intent. :D (As opposed to troll classics like "Stray Cat Blues" or "B***h"--- indeed pretty funny! :D)
B. The Rolling Stones *will* stop playing certain songs live in the 2020s--- y'know, rhymes with "Clown Boogers." (Not saying that's good, not saying it's bad--- just sayin'.)
C. A Black man got *murdered* while they played this song live. Again, not a mark on the lyrical content, but--- well, again, JS.
@@argentokaos2629 You're funny! I'm going to steal "Clown Boogers" from you. Even if Mick considered this a revenge song, his lyrics are hilarious. I mean referring to her the "sweetest pet in the world", its meant to get a laugh from whoever he's telling his story to ( the listener).
I think the Stones just had some very dark songs. Brown Sugar, Midnight Rambler, etc.
Bill Wyman's bass line is sick...what a tone, makes the whole track for me...
@@kylewoolsey6635 :D Steal away, dude, steal away. :D
I'm much more agreeable on that subject than--- say--- Keith. :D
These lyrics were as different then as they would be now. You rarely saw a woman or gitl singing along it. But we teenage boys loved it
I saw the Rolling Stones in 1981, and I remember thinking that these guys still sound great for old timers.😁
I'm 20 years old and I enjoy listening to the Rolling Stones.
And now 41 yrs later they re Still performing. Guessing some good drugs along the way
Lex is a beautiful gem😍😍. Brad is pretty awesome as well. I love their videos👍
The song moves like a sexy, sinewy snake...a mid 1960's ode to keeping a girl under Mick's control. This is the type of song that kept the moms of the world from embracing the "thug" Stones and running into the arms of the "safe" Beatles. Their daughters didn't seem to mind either way.
Love the arrangement. The vocals are great. Lyrically, it couldn't be repeat.
"Occasionally" was a great response. Literally shows how much respect, trust and love you've for Brad.
Brad likes that song. He smiled the whole time. 😁
lol yeah that was the biggest and longest lasting smile ever on a song.
@@3qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq10 Pretty rare for Brad..lol of course Lex was awesome as always.
@@3qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq10 check "shattered". He smiled the whole song xD
I live in Brazil, even though I don't speak your language, I love your videos.
One of my top 3 favourite Stones songs!!
Play with fire is an underrated stones song. It’s very good.
I love how Lex is not offended. I think the real reason is she knows no matter what men think, they are always under the thumb of their women.
Oh brother...l if anyone feels the areunder someone's thumb t is because they are so weak they NEED a mommy telling them what to. Now shut up. Lolololol
The song was meant to be taken as a joke. Social satire played a big part in their songwriting during this period of their career.
I love the way men mansplain why violently sexist music is meant to be taken as a joke.
@@patricias5122 LOL!!!!
I love how Lex has a big smile the whole time! That’s what the Stones do to you
I think this is the best Stones sound, a fusion of blues, reggae, pop and rock with a taste of the groovy 60s mixed in.
Once again, I’d like you to listen to Tumbling Dice by the Stones.
So much soul.
My wife and I attended The Stones concert last year soon after the passing of Charlie Watts and they did not perform "Under My Thumb" and "Brown Sugar." So yes, these are different times.
Lol I can’t imagine them playing Brown Sugar in 2022. Even Mick has said he probably shouldn’t have written that one
What a shame, under my thumb is still musically just pure joy
If you think this is bad you should hear their song "Stupid Girl", from the same time period. Much later, Ellen Foley (the woman who sang with Meat Loaf on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light") recorded a cover of "Stupid Girl" and put a whole new spin on it.
All consideration of the lyrics aside, I think this is a terrific example of the early Stones after they stopped being just a blues cover band and started playing songs of their own. Musically it's very innovative, with the marimba and all. Another early Stones song that has a similar musical vibe, minus the misogyny, is "Out of Time".
Excellent remark. I wish I said it.
Brown Sugar comes to mind.
@@custardflan exactly.
Or Backstreet Girl lol.
Check out the Ellen Foley video of Stupid Girl on the Kenny Everett show on YT.
It was not released as a single in any English speaking country, which being such a classic & obviously commercial song tells you how nervous the record company was. Probably in large part because a few years earlier a girl band called The Crystals released a song called He Hit Me & It Felt Like A Kiss-which caused mass outrage & was pulled from the airwaves quickly.
How did we forget about that one? Thanks, Dave. 👍
At my parents wedding in 1967 they had a DJ instead of a live band, and this song got played. My parents thought it was hilarious, especially since my mother was a very liberated woman and would’ve never let a man tell her what to do.
This brings back memories of being a teenager in the 70's when a friend and me used to rewind this over and over on the cassette while drinking beer getting ready to go party.
I think they just went purposefully over the top on this one, but the groove is definitely there.
My very favorite Rolling Stones song, thanks for this reaction. I don't think anyone else has done it
"Miss You" is a must. So is "She's So Cold"
"Occasionally?!" ~ Lex
LOLOL...so funny!
Brad and Lex, I love the journey you are on because you've learned a valuable lesson that so many people fail to learn--you've learned how to listen to songs in the context of their era. I applaud you for knowing where your values are and sticking to them while still being able to look back with a laugh and say, "Wow--that era was really different!" That's a mature and healthy attitude. I think there's definitely some "tongue-in-cheek" going on in the lyrics. The 60s were the era when women were first beginning to really assert themselves as independent, and there was a backlash from older generations (the politicians, pundits, and thought leaders of the day).
Oh they have so many great songs. Every genre... they have some great country songs also. They are special for sure.
One of my favorite Stones songs
Remember the Stones were known to be the toughest and greatest rock and roll band in the world.
The answer to Brad's final question is "NO!" - you should have seen the gleam in his eyes when the sang about the squirmin' dog who's had her day 🙂 Luckily in those days the older generation disliked "our" music by reflex and listened as little as possible - so things like this and "Lola" by the Kinks escaped censorship.
Man.. the U.S.A. has always been weird about what they've tried to censor... As long as the lyrics were somewhat cryptic and not too lewd, crude, or blasphemous, you could pretty much say anything up until the 90's. 90's music really pushed the boundaries on censorship and you could pretty much say anything short of threatening assasination on the President. Now we're backtracking in that department with the SJW's, I think there's a balance that is always being pushed in one direction or the other. As for why the older generation didn't censor music, they would have been huge hypocrites... Frank Sinatra and James Brown had some equally misogynistic and offensive songs, even when measured up against "Under My Thumb".
The Rolling Stones - Play with fire
The “under my thumb” comes from falconry. When the bird is perched on the glove the falconer holds the leash under the thumb. Means having control on the animal.
Dang, I heard this song in the mid 60's and I must have been high cuz all I remember is just jammin out. Music was such a vibe that I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics, just rolled with the great sound. I agree that these lyrics prolly wouldn't be received very well today. Great as always guys, love y'all. Peace
Same- great music!
This one and Waiting On A Friend...soooo smooth
There's a great cover of this song by a band called Streetheart who really rocked it up and made it a signature song in their act. Check it out. Good Reaction.
Another dance party song from my youth! I was a bit young for most Rolling Stones songs when this came out, but friends who had older siblings introduced me to it.
Under my Thumb is the British way of saying wrapped around my finger.
My late parents played in a lot of cover bands and my mom sang this song.
Wow, "occasionally" is a hell of an answer from Lex. Funny. After you've heard a lot of the Stones, you start to suspect that they are messing with the listener. You start to wonder what's going to happen next. You figure the persona singing the song will probably lose the girl. Jagger plays characters.
They still play this song live (in their last 2021 concert)- the only one I could find they said they won’t is Brown Sugar … as far as I can find
"What did she do?"
-'She just had her day.'
I did not know what to play this morning, no I am going to play this jam. Wish you guys were there to hear it. Keep up the channel, you both have a fan. #BlackRock
So cool how you guys keep going into the stones catalog. It took many years of listening to music to suddenly realize they’re the best band for me if all time.
Great song! I never thought I'd see it reacted to, in today's environment. But y'all didn't blink, and delivered a great reaction, as always. Y'all WAY too cool. Hope all is well.
What's left to say about the Stones, in their 80's still doing concerts. My favorite in the 60's.
One of my favorite tunes of all time
'Under my thumb' means subservient and controlled.
'Wrapped around my finger' means free but I can easily manipulate her whenever I want to.
Classic Kieth opening riff…
Another great Stones song
This was my favourite stones song forever. I think maybe Gimmie Shelter has passed it, but this song is a groove.
This song is definitely of an era. I was too young to know what the reaction was to this when it came out but when I started listening to this song in the 70s attitudes towards women were changing but not quite as evolved as they might be today, there was still some old school guys willing to show a woman what’s what. Just watch some of the old James Bond movies with Sean Connery, man when some woman gave him lip it was the back of his hand. Watching that stuff now is shocking but no one batted an eye back then.
Also, being wrapped around someone’s finger suggests you are so enamoured with the person you’ll do anything for them. Being “under their thumb” is much darker and probably not so voluntary… I wouldn’t exactly call it healthy.
But the women were enemy spies.
Applause
Mick may have been inspired by Marianne Faithfull, his main squeeze at the time and the person (along with Keith) most responsible for her career. So Marianne was arrogant and spoiled, coming from wealth, having every man who ever met her back then wanting to "know" her because she had such a uniquely angelic face and nice Tetons. A major conquest for Mick, keeping her was a motivation for his early and rapid success. So once Mick got "Satisfaction"-level famous, the power shift was complete. She was under his thumb.
This is a great band! Love this song!
Said that to my wife one day that she was "a squirmy dog who just had her day".
Lucky I was only locked out of the house, it was cold sleeping in the backyard.
Could have been slot uglier.
😄 🤣
I've had an argument with myself for years on who's the greatest rock and roll band in the world it was between AC/DC and the Rolling Stones and at 54 years old I've come to the conclusion that it is the Rolling Stones
I love Social Distortion's version of this song, totally turned that 60s funky rock sound into a modern punk song. So good!
Maybe the change from being wrapped around her finger came from the way he was using his thumb on her
That!
Early Stones, my preferred era for the band and this was definitely one of my favourite songs.
If a girl doesn't want to be under your thumb you can aways offer her another finger. 😂 don't loose your minds. This is just something we'd say back in the day. Brad's right the times have changed. It went to wrapped around your finger, which is cute and sounds less threatening but the sentiment is still the same.
Cool thought.
Thank you. Ppl now a days are putting this song on some misogynistic level and it's not that at all. It was just a saying thank you for saying this
The is a Canadian Band called Streetheart that covers this song and it is amazing. I don't think any reaction channel has done Streetheart yet, you should check them out.
Brad smiled threw whole video ..you liked the lyrics.. where you were day dreaming
It took me hearing Social Distortion's cover to really hear this song. I just heard the groove before. It took hearing singer Mike Ness' aggression to hear the message.
Best line yet: ‘occasionally?’
I laughed out loud 😂
Great song, great lyrics
Nowadays we'd celebrate women who keep a men under their thumb as strong women, but a man singing that would be anathema. Maybe in another 50 years we'll figure out neither should be under the other's thumb. 😋
Another 50 years. Aren't you overly optimistic?
@@klm23.98 Awwww....let's all sed a tear for the poor subservient man. You are there by your own choice. Unlike women and minorities who were put in THER place by white men. Ugh.
A man WAS singing that dimwit.
This is f u n n y stuff. The Stones, macho macheivieo- with Jagger strutting his stuff like there's no tomorrow. Love it. And the video was so cool also. Nice review; great tune!
HAHA Ive known this song a long time. I was waiting for the smile to come on Brads face while he was listening to the lyrics. He didnt disappoint
Great reaction , guys ! Stones rule.
This is one of my fav Rolling Stone songs. My Dad introduced me to Elvis and Patsy Cline, and my Mom introduced me to Rolling Stones and Beatles. :)
Looks like this song may have opened up another level in the relationship lol
Aftermath lp. A turning point in it's day.
Said the fool when she finally got complete control of him. 🤣
Under my thumb is an expression from falconry. The birds have straps/jesses on their feet and when held, the jess goes under the thumb. Then the bird cannot escape.
This is one of my favorites. Check out their first album. No Satisfaction is great as well. Honky Tonk Women. So many Gems in their history!
Oh YES...He did...Ahh..Ahh...she was got caught...dynamics change...Excellent REACTION
I never have understood the problem with these lyrics. It's about someone with coercive behaviour. Not particularly attractive subject but it happens - even today!!
Rejoice in the musicality. What a groove.
Classic rock. I like it. The Stones have too many great hits to even name. Thanks, cats.
Great choice I’ve been waiting for this one. IMO one of their best, very underated
This whole Aftermath album is excellent!
LMAO, good answer Lex!! 😂
It's a solid jam and there is sooooo much more for you to discover.
Love the Rolling Stones!! ❤🔥
There was a Canadian Band called Streetheart who did a great cover of this song .
U guys are so much fun . Love u guys!!!!
IMO, the greatest pre-1968 Stones recording.
Wrapped around her finger? You've got him doing what you want him to do. One can unwrap himself.
Under his thumb? You've forced compliance. There is no escape.
Some Girls and Far away eyes, off the same album. Great lyrics for Brad in both.
Classic STONES ❤
My favorite Stones tune
That bass line is unbelievable
Great video as usual
Thanks
And, in this episode, Brad finds out a direction of his relationship with Lexx he didn't even know was there. 🤣
That laugh at the end, yall are adorable
In 1969 in USA, during RS performance, a boy was beaten to death to this song by bikers. Right in front of the stage. One of the days "the music died", according to Don McLean.
