Bird on a wire is an expression meaning that birds sit on electrical wires without being electrocuted, but if they were to stray over to the grounding element, they'd fry.

3/5ths seems to care to be in the vid the other 2/5ths seem bored and middle aged. they still kicked every1's ass then and maybe now too...miss u bill wyman. iz that angie jolie or mick upfront? no. seriously.
@kristoscan It's what they are and it's what has made them so damn cool after all these years............. their subtle persona on stage. I'd suggest two clicks back to the Hip Hop channel where you obviously belong.
Problem is that LOTS of morons do not understand that Mick and the Stones were making a brillant parody with their stage behaviour. A full mockery of every other music styles. Movements are parodic, but music is goddam serious. Mick a fag? That s a goddam myth. Long Live the S t o n e s G o d s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@xDeadMisfitsx there dick r broke,,,lol i made it to some extent in he 80,s and mine is not willing to put a tenth of effort as i use to friend ,,lol
@primasativa and its ovious that you are a homo and thats why youre defending Mick...... look at him dance at the beginning of this video. That has gay written all over it..... purple pants??? spells gay.....eyeliner = gay. You have feelings for him, so you are gay. No big deal, just admit it to yourself.
@WanderleiSilva29 they have slept with some of the hottest women on this planet, thats not very gay is it? Now if you dawned on purple pants and jumped around yes that would be gayer...alot
WoW THIS LITTLE NUMBER IS OVER 30 YEARS OLD ALREADY , AMAZING , , I HOPE BY NOW PEOPLE FOUND OUT WHAT THEY WERE SINGING ABOUT !! ( HANG FIRE ) Glen****
How come in the beginning there are those random three people standing infront of Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman? I wanna see the backbone of the group too!
Richards acts like a surefire lunatic. He knows this little sucker ,disguised as a tune, deserves no serious attention. People that fall for this shite ,have only themselves to blame.
Pretty sure I saw portions of this in "She's Like A Rainbow". And those big pants Mick is wearing?? I thought they were going to fall down to his knees. Good video, though.
The picture that Mick is kissing is a picture of himself with tattoo artwork all over his face. It's the front side album cover of Tattoo You. The back side of the album is Keith.
@gitarmane Oh thanks. It didn't look like Mick. I'm about to buy this album though so I guess I'll see it better but the lips do kinda look like him. He looks weird with short hair
Any of you fans of BarlowGirl, tell me if this sounds like their song, 'Harder than the 1st time.' The Stones hit #20 in Billboard, 5-8-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!
@margaritadx3 yeah man, what the hell?! These good-ass titties weren't in the original video!!! Thjose good boobies were added in on some later date you know! Boobs are the shit. Im drunk.
My wife and I wnt out 2nite 4 r 4th weding aniversry. Wev ben 2gether for 13 years now. I drink every day and she nevr does. She had a half glass of wine @ dinner and is now passed out on the couch. Ive been drinkin all damn day and this is what the fuck im doin! Sucks! Her big luscious tits were poppin out of her shirt @ dinner and she didnt even know cuz she was drunk and every other womans man was lookin at MY wife! I was so proud! And now im on utube cuz i cant screw my wife cuz she past out
As I get older I only love The Stones more. To think that it was fashionable in the early 80s for punk bands to mock them is pretty funny to me now. The idea that someone like Johnny Lydon could've ever thought that his body of musical work could even begin to compare with than of The Stones seems in retrospect so absurd that it's amazing that anyone ever took it even remotely seriously... don't get me wrong-- there's lots of punk rock that I really love.. but it ain't The Stones...
@veranka3 What are you talking about? Most punk bands hailed the Stones as early makers of punk with them being rebellious and giving off that attitude and all. Who the fuck cares what John Lydon said, he was a one hit wonder, he doesn't speak for the whole genre's artists.
How many punk rockers did you talk to and associate with 1979 or so? It was very fashionable at the time to mock the Stones as emblematic of big stadium, bloated old-style rock. I'm not saying I agree with that, I'm simply pointing out that there were a lot of silly people back then in the heat of the moment who would've said that the Sex Pistols & Buzzcocks were better than the Stones. You say "who cares what Johnny Lydon says" as if I agree with him! I don't-- that's the point.
dude #1. this song is fuckin awesome. #2 mick jagger is a fuckin riot. #3 no one will ever be chiller than charlie watts. #4 stones will always be the worlds greatest rock n roll band. and last, they must have been crackin up when the watched the video and seen mick jumpin around
@Rstonesfan1962 hey tough i agree with what your saying..but "the greatest rock n roll band"? i preffer them as the greatest band EVER, cause lets face it..the stones have done almost everything from rock n roll, blues, soul, disco, funk, country a little bit of there-one hard rock and they even did reggae couple of tims..Now theres not one no band today who can make all the genres of music. so i seem em as the greatest band ever. but again thats my opinion. sorry bout the bad spelling
Tattoo you was the best album of the eighties. Oh yeah.
