I really like this song
Love the Stones forever & ever!! This is a fab song!! ❌❤❌❤
This tune shows how tight the Stones were early on. 50 year fan - I am proud to say.
@campo.. i like to describe myself as anti feminist, but i think youre taking it a little far. yes woman are influenced easy to buy, But not all are liars. haha im a very honest woman. i would say there are just as many men willing to lie and not feel guilty, i dont think gender defines who a liar is. i think its a little arrogant of you to catorgorize men as perfectly honest human beings haha but dont get me wrong. women do belong in the kitchen and the laundry room.
My #1 favorite stones song ever!!!!
One of my favorite Stones songs. Great feel, lyrics, the vibes. Brian Jones brought so much to their sound before he messed himself up. Played concertina, recorder, dulcimer, vibes, sax, slide guitar, sitar, etc. and very good when he wasn't too far gone. Anyway, Brian Jones's contribution s made this song extra special and memorable. He deserves more credit.
Great song. Men more deceivable then women? Lol, you mean they are deceived a lot because women lie as part of their nature and feel no guilt about it, so most men are vulnerable until they catch on because it's not a part of their everyday way to lie. Women lie even when there's no reason. Also, so the devil picked Eve instead of Adam to deceive because she was harder to deceive? Lol, any salesman will tell you they'd rather sell to a woman because they are more easily led to buy.
Cool old song.
She only fools you to make you think shes under your thumb, Men are much more deceivable than women and under early drunken spells and so forth and so on. I think Mick may have been practiced at the art of deception and a little sarcasm.
Marimba, anyone?
Rolling Stones are amazing!! Never gets old!! ❌⭕❌⭕

Keith writing of a heart-break experience he had.
the way she talks when shes spoken too.
i can no longer hear this song without thinking of what a jerk Gideon Gordon Graves is.

The rough draft title "Under My Big Toe" did not go over well when first introduced.
Good song for control freaks. :) I'm not one of those but I love it anyway.
I don't like this song because of the lyrics but it has "good-lookin g cousins", so I'm thumbs-uppin g it anyway.
As much as I should be furious about these lyrics, I can't help but love the song.

I like the Stones' post-scruffy - b l u e s , pre-psychede l i c period. They started using more instruments (sitar, harpsichord, marimba, etc.); gave them a chance to think outside of the box.
Great song! Even though it is every man's dream to have us all "under their thumb".
julibet
wanna be pissed at the lyrics but MJ makes it all good
Where else will you find references to a "squirming dog" and a "Siamese Cat" in the same piece??
Ain't it the truth though...
And 2000 light years from home is my Favorite Stones song anywhay.
I don't get it. Mick is squishing squirmy dogs under his thumb? They must be tiny!

He got a girl siamese cat under there that he dresses up in clothes?

???
Rock and especially the Stones are the epitome of misogyny. These lyrics work.
Totally misogynistic lyrics, but M.J. does deliver them w/ a good + powerful (gritty) voice.
The single greatest track ever released by the Stones, "Under My Thumb" managed to sneak under the radar at a time when lyrics like that should have brought the wrath of the "lib movement" to Mick Jagger's doorstep. Amazingly, however, Jagger's undeniable sex appeal and the paradoxical ambiguity between lyric and melody transcended issues of "gender correctness" and set the music industry on its collective ear.

Jagger's genius? Women wanted to be under someone's thumb; Steinham be damned.
