This song was the Stones' response to the Punk Rock sound of the late 70's. Of course, they adapted to the changing scene in rock music and the Stones wound up with one of the best punk songs ever. typical Stones -- they would bend with the times and then become masters of new music trends. Jagger and Richards loved N.Y. City even if it did have this dirty underbelly they sing of. |

It's about a guy who just cannot catch a break. The worst part for him is the girl who cannot have sex with him right now because she's having her period and she suggests to come back next week. |

I remember when this song was released and it was controversial for using the word nigger. At the time of the writing of this song, there was a recession and high unemployment in England and Elvis was actually discussing military mercenaries. Elvis critizes people who were taking jobs as a soldiers-for-hire who are totally indifferent towards what cause they are fighting for as long as they get a paycheck -- those are the white niggers he refers to. |
