Band Name Origins:

  • Stonesfan is confusing The Temptations song "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" (where the lyrics he quotes are from) with- Muddy Waters' Rollin' Stone " He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone, Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone" It is where the band got their name, but "Papa was a Rolling Stone" was released in 1972 and the Stones 1st used their name in 1962. Submitted by: Mark Silverman
  • The Rolling Stones definitely got their name from the Muddy Waters' song. It has nothing to do with masturbation or the saying "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Sidenote: Rolling Stone actually named Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" the #1 song of all time, not Muddy Water's "Rollin' Stone". Submitted by: andrew

Story about this misheard lyric by: K

So my whole life I've thought the words to this song was "I'll never be your big suburban". I always thought "this song makes no sense, were Suburbans even out in the 70s???" Fast forward to 2006 when I got satellite radio & this song came on and the title scrolled across the screen... I had a huge moment of clarity!

Real Places Mentioned in Songs:

"Miss You"
The Lyrics:
Well, I've been haunted in my sleep You've been starring in my dreams Lord I miss you I've been waiting in the hall Been waiting on your call When the phone rings It's just some friends of mine that say, Hey, what's the matter man? We're gonna come around at twelve With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet ya We're gonna bring a case of wine Hey, let's go mess and fool around You know, like we used to
I've been walking in Central Park Singing in the dark People think I'm crazy I've been stumbling on my feet Shuffling through the street Asking people, what's the matter with ya boy?
Why:
The Rolling Stones' "Miss You" is from the group's 1978 lp, "Some Girls". Despite meeting with some resistance due to the fact that many thought the ultimate rock band, the Rolling Stones were selling out by releasing a Disco tune (which "Miss You" is, the Rolling Stones didn't hide that fact), the song still managed to find itself all the way to #1 in the early fall of 1978. And surprisingly, it is still one of the most played Rolling Stones' songs on Classic Rock and Classic Hit stations (many dj's say it's their favorite Stones' tune). "Miss You" casts lead singer, Mick Jagger, as a guy living in New York City lost without the love of his life, and trying to lose himself in the party scene but failing miserably at it. There is a shoutout in the second verse to the real U.S. territory of Puerto Rico (with the "Puerto Rican girls" lyric), and in the third verse there is a shoutout to a the real place of Central Park (a famous park in upper Manhattan).

"Brown Sugar"
The Lyrics:
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields, Sold in a market down in New Orleans. Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright. Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot. Lady of the house wondrin' where it's gonna stop. House boy knows he's doin' alright. You should a heard him just around midnight.
Why:
The Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar' is from the group's 1971 lp, "Sticky Fingers". "Brown Sugar" went to #1 in the early summer of 1971, despite some resistence from women's rights group (about the lyrics where the old slaver whips the women) and from African-American rights group (about the whole song about slavery). But the Rolling Stones explained that it was just a song about those times of the early 18th Century and was more an indictment on the English participating in the slave trade, in America, despite the British government outlawing slavery in Britain at that time. In the first verse lead singer Mick Jagger gives a shoutout to the city of New Orleans, and in the second verse a shoutout to England (via the word, English).

Songs That Are Banned:

"Rough Justice"
The Stones played 3 songs at Super Bowl XL in Detroit. "Rough Justice" has these double-entendre lyrics: One time you were my baby chicken, Now you've grown into a fox; Once upon a time I was your little rooster, But now I'm just one of your cocks Because of this the sound of Mick Jagger's mike was turned down momentarily when he sang the word "cocks". There is debate on whether the Stones knew or approved of this. This was 2 years after that "wardrobe malfunction" scandal that got tongues wagging. This Stones hit is way MUCH better than that generic crap that Justin and Janet did their act to anyway.
Submitted by: I'm Stoned
"She Was Hot"
In early 1984 this single was released but MTV banned its video. Maybe because it showed a woman on top of a TV set and animated fire is "issuing" from her mouth and butt. MTV later did play the video, however. I saw it in 1986.
Submitted by: I'm Stoned
"Star Star"
In 1973, this Rolling Stones single from the "Goat's Head Soup" album, was banned from airplay on the BBC because it contained the word "Star-fucker" in the chorus. It's not just sung once, but the word is repeated a dozen times.
Submitted by: Peter
"Street Fighting Man"
Fearing this Rolling Stones' song would incite violence during the National Democratic Convention in September 1968, Chicago radio stations refuse to play the song. During the ban, the single sets all-time sales records in the Chicago area.
Submitted by: Peter
"Let's Spend The Night Together"
In February 1967 the Rolling Stones were invited to perform on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and sing both their then #1 song, "Ruby Tuesday" followed by this song that was climbing the American charts. (Up to this time, the producers of the show had NOT had the Rolling Stones alter any of their other tunes, including "Satisfaction", although there was a slight delay on the 1965 taped west coast broadcast so affiliates could "bleep" some of that tune if they wished). Because of this Ed Sullivan's producers got the Rolling Stones to agree to alter the lyrics of "Let's Spend The Night Together" to "let's spend some time together". But it was clearly obvious to the TV audience that lead singer Mick Jagger was not thrilled that he was singing a watered down version of the song. So, very near the end of the tune Jagger sang the real lyrics angering not only the show's producers but also Ed Sullivan. The results, the Rolling Stones were not invited back to "The Ed Sullivan Show".
