Thanks for your post! My father (Rest in Peace) used to love this song. I wish I could enjoy this song with him. But, I know he watches over me and enjoys it now just as much as I do
I think this song was an attempt to "re-create" Appalachian working-class folk music. I also think it came off rather well, especially when you consider it was done by a group of British multi-millionaires.
@chiangmai1963 Well, they were tied on tight at the back of our necks and fit close and kept our hair-netted hair from being seen, except maybe a little bangs and our hair out of the salmon....it's a messy job very hard work and we have to be clean! we also wore long plastic aprons over our jeans and sweatshirts and soggy cotton gloves and rubber boots....
Ric Grech also played the violin on the version of "Street Fighting Man" that was titled "Pay Your Dues," but it was amplified and played through some effects pedal to make it sound like an electric guitar, which misled people to believe it was an e-guitar track by Keith Richards.

If that shit happened again, we'd be shit out of luck because none of the girls now would dare break a nail. It's fucking sad. The weird thing is, America is now the bully, not like Hitler, but we're throwing our weight around way too much and lots of us Americans are sick of it.
@christoJihad2 Factory Girls in Britain and America kept the Brits and Americans in the war to keep those fucking pricks Hitler and Tojo from taking over the world. We still owe 'em a lot and they're all dying off. My grandma made anti aircraft guns for warships to blast the kamikazes out of the skies where my dad was floating around in.
@christoJihad2 The movie 'Factory Girl' got its name from Andy Warhol's social circle/experiment, known as The Factory. Edie Sedgwick was apparently a very prominent member of this entourage. However, both Warhol's world and the movie pale in comparison to the reason I'm on this page, the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World.. The Rolling Stones.
@hansl27 I seriously doubt if the Stones were thinking about the bizarre little clique and it's ringmaster/freak Andy Warhol, when they wrote this 2:10 masterpiece. And I came to this page for the exact same reason as you! The fabulous Rolling Stones, man. In my eyes, the best band ever!
@christoJihad2 Of course the Stones weren't thinking about Warhol's "Factory" at this point; if you read my comment, I said that the movie got its name from the "Factory". However, Warhol did design the Sticky Fingers cover just three years later with the working zipper.

One of my favorite songs on one of my favorite Stones albums. The lyrics paint a very detailed and accurate portrait of a working class woman ( "wears scarves instead of hats, her zipper's broke down the back...takes buses everywhere"), and the instrumentation brilliantly combines British Isles folk music with South Asian percussion. What more could a music snob like me ask for?
yeah, I was gonna ask did they mean Dave Mason; I've seen his name in credits for that album. I never heard of Paul Mason, which doesn't mean he doesn't exist of course.
No, I don't think it was - the film got it's name from the book - the book title may have been shooting for the double entendre of trying to relate ppl to the song thereby sounding cool but the Stones never acknowledge this - I think it has about as much to do with it as the movie Brokedown Palace has to do with the Grateful Dead song, it just sounds 'cool'
can anyone tell me if this song was wrote foe edi sedgwick...andy waholls muse...sure she must have met the stones...the film factory girl got me thinking of this...
@nidgybaby ...no its more of a working class girl of the day thing, not a spoiled rich girl thing....i look at pictures of my mom & aunts, and their friends in Britain in the early 60s...all wearing scarfs (no fancy hats), they all worked factory jobs--and all only 16 yrs old...think it was just the way it was back then in a class society. Great song crystalized moment!
At some point the Rolling Stones made it their mission to conquer both the blues and country music. It's style is woven all through this album along with Exile On Main Street and Let it Bleed.
fun times.....:-)
