This song is on Now volume 2, my mum bought me that album in 1984 when I was 5! Certainly remember this song!

[Damon759]

Cracking video!!!

[Mrtoaman]

i wish i was 13 then rather than now :(

[luiramirez89]

Undercover of the Night, mi canción favorita!

[stucat06]

Awesome!

[kingofpunk1977]

I remember seeing this video on the Tube TV show in the Uk in 1983, it was shown about 6.30 in the evening.I was 16 at the time & I originally had the Stones down as a bunch of old men !! How wrong was I !!!!!!!The very next day I RAN to the record shop to buy this.

[mistermangetout]

IMO the best stones track. Totally badass, totally phat. Can't get that beat of out my f'ing head.

[MenkeAir]

i made a cool lyrics vid on it if you wana take a look feel free peace

[78rohan]

El Senor Miguel Jagger & El Senor Keif Ricardos...es muy Bueno!!! no..muy Malo!!!  Muy Badass!!

[thread14]

I remember this album really reminding me of New Order's sound at the time, which is when this came out (about 1981).

[bjroberts65]

This is the best freakin video of alltime!!!

[bjroberts65]

Christina Ricci at 1:09?

[wjdsmith]

Charlie Watts.....owns all.....hehe! smoothest drums in all the land......

[98pup100]

@wjdsmith

Charlie Watts was interviewed over here in the UK a while back & was saying that he still considers the Stones job as a temporary position before he goes back to his beloved jazz. The fact he has played with them for 40 odd years now didnt seem to register with him!

[Elitist20]

A good-quality version of the video at last. Notice that the guy in the pool has a pistol in his lap and is reading a book with a picture of Woody Allen on the back - a 'Bananas' reference? And Mick's newspaper has a headline about Grenada being invaded.

[kingofpunk1977]

@jsbruzina shut up . The song is mega hard

[death2jarjar]

Best Stones song ever!!!

[PoppaMartinez]

THE ROLLING STONES - Undercover Of The Night

[HaydnRamone]

Good to see this version. It was banned from many TV stations in its time because of the depicted violence. although its always good to see Keef tryin' to kick micks ass'

[chivass14]

este video fue grabado en mexico

[andy65guitar]

this is one of the Stones best tunes. I know it's later but wow it kicks 80's ASS! Not a great album though. Too bad. The next album that kicked was Voodoo Lounge. Inconsistant since then but hey, It's THE STONES!

[Sheldon66]

Not a great album?? Many would beg to differ andy. There are some great tracks on that album including this one, also "She Was Hot", "Wanna Hold You". Check them out!

[shinybald36]

voodoo lounge sucked, this album was much better

[amberfwn]

MTV used to play this to death.

[michelle8197]

mick with a moustache - lol

[PoppaTonyAznar]

Undercover Of The Night

[supermanfan62]

whos had more women mick or gene

[geon67]

they definitely played this full version on mtv also- i remember watching it several times

[bjroberts65]

NO.1 SONG AT ZENONS NYC 1985

[khavarian]

what the hell did we know about being young back then?

nothing ever changes

[jfab64]

If I'm not mistaken, this came out around the time of "Scarface." Though unrelated to the film, the video does have that violent gunslinging overtone to it.

I always liked this song. A 180-degree turn from "Start Me Up," "Undercover" pounds with intensity!

[treyster03]

Yes, someone answer, who is the girl on the couch!!

[emizmerizing]

Does this video/song remind anyone else of the violence going on in Mexico, which is spilling over our borders? Phoenix is now #2 in kidnapping behind Mexico City!

[digigami]

This video and "shes was hot" where actually made in Mexico City for tax or money reasons if I remember right

[steveconn]

Yeah, Stones fan magazine editor Bill German's new book "Under Their Thumb" goes into that.

[riess70]

This is one the best trax...

[speakker]

This song does not get the respect that it deserves. I sing this at karaoke all the time and always have fun with it

[Kohntarkosz]

I wonder if that ending wasn't meant to be a homage to Devo's video for their version of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. In both cases, a horny teen finds his efforts to get into his girlfriend's pants thwarted by someone (presumably her father) who appears to be an Army general. Thoughts?

[bjroberts65]

CLASSIC!

[SacrificialMullet]

An all time classic song and a milestone in music videos.

But srsly guys; which idiot let Keef loose with a bloody gun?

[linus7106]

wow! awesome quality!

thanks so much for posting this!

[videostrategies]

I was about to say this is the Stones' best song ever (the sound of it alone is great, the video makes it even more exciting), but probably better to say this one is to the '80s what "Gimme Shelter" was to the '60s: a brilliant, incredibly forceful interpretation of what was happening (mostly politically) at the time. I'm not a big fan of the violence inside the church but let's face it, far more shocking things were (and still are) happening in various countries' civil wars.

[kboyxx]

Whos the girl on the couch ?

[treyster03]

That's what I want to know!!!

[iacozizzle]

Best music video ever

[alexphillipslll]

This video was shot in different parts of Mexico City. I had the incredible opportunity to be there when it was filmed; i"m the dude trying to make out with the girl.Seriously it was a blast. Took like a week or so to shoot the whole thing. my youtube channel is alex phillips iii check it out. Great video

[TokyoHeart]

かっこいい～。

[bjroberts65]

JAGGER.... STONES....RULE!

[gmpm]

this song is the ABSOLUTE shit. rock and roll through the veins.

[Giua1973]

ahhh the smell of sex, the smell of suicide

i absolutely loved this song and this video when it came out...still do...it was cutting edge shit back then, very controversial

[aerosmithyamaha250]

the greatest rock n roll band of the past present future and long after were all dead

[rambler11370]

GREAT SONG AND VIDEO! The Stones were still the shit when this came out!

[Mellanie870]

THIS SONG IS HOT!

[biffinbelize]

Night Flight showed this version.

Been looking for it . thanks

[metrik7]

My favorite Stones song, but it's funny that this was banned (or at least forced to be edited) because of the church shootout - I was ten when this came out and the guy with the bag over his head being executed in cold blood on the pier was much more shocking. Here's my question, though - it obviously wasn't the "kidnapped" Mick being executed, because in the church shootout he dives into the back seat of the car. So what happens to the "kidnapped" Mick after that? We never see him again...

[smapdaisuki]

Thank you for posting!! I love this song!!!

[REOVolkswagon]

Great tune. Great band.

[zobajoe]

Wasn't this video banned for a while on MTV for being a bit controversial?

[figment1988]

@zobajoe it was banned by the BBC due to it's violence

[98pup100]

One of the most under rated stones songs & probably one of the last of the 60's-80's era. Powerful music powerful subject

[vanprey]

Totally 80's, I love it

[jcso1]

Who's the girl???

[welshuser]

This looks like something out of a Sam Peckinpah movie.

[redhotryder]

c'mon Keith is a badass,he would fuck anybody up.I don't care what he is on.he could kick all the guys out of Guns 'N" Roses' asses anytime,and I would pay to watch that.People should stop picking on him.he's gotten old with all those drugs,remember?

[shinybald36]

yah i don't see axl falling 40 feet out of a coconut tree and surviving

[Kommunikatorone]

This is a cool one. I always liked it, especially Keith's percussive guitar parts.

[llook05]

anybody who says the stones never made a good song after tattoo you can suck my fucking balls

[thestigretired]

Decent enough vid for back in the day - quite daring - but easily one of the best songs they ever did. I don't dance for $#!t but it's hard not to move to that beat!

[adater]

There used to be a show, believe it or not, called "Friday Night Videos" on NBC, I think on Fridays at about 11:30. I remember this video being on one of the first shows.

[TaraTownsend]

Yes, you're right! I used to watch it every Friday night since I didn't have MTV. My friend and I looked forward to sitting in her brilliant living room overlooking Los Angeles and watching all of the new videos - that's when I first saw this video, and loved it!

[richiebear1969]

My parents didnt believe in getting cable, which meant no MTV, so I had to settle for Friday Night Videos.

[buckosbooty]

My favorite stones song too and isnt played to death on the radio!

[fallsguy69]

Best Stones song ever at least in my opinion. Love the video.

[SireThomasAsh]

agree!

[anzaeria]

A great song and a well made and memorable video clip. Keith Richards looks sort of sinister in this clip, playing his part as one of the bad guys well.

[Yesimustbestupid2]

But boy, am I glad Keith is a better guitar player, because he was a lousy shot!!! He doesn't aim that gun, at all well (I certainly wouldn't want to hire Keith Richards to protect me). I want to know who played the detective in the white suit? (I could swear it looks a lot like a young William H. Macy -- I wonder if Macy first got his film career start as characters on music vids).

[blackshadowprod]

It's Mick Jagger with a fake mustache...

[bitchyb73]

Wow Keith almost looks human in this one.

[talentshow098]

Whats that video they shoe clips of on much more music? Its like tehno color and looks new, but with old footage and its really colorful

[pissko88]

so goil rolling stones forever :-)

[pasy2006]

Their best album of the 80's, in their sixties and going strong!!!

[tc3836]

great intro, and guitar rift

[ulysses1904]

I was a huge Stone fan for years, from about 1969 to 1984. This was their last gasp for me, but it was brilliant. Thanks for posting this.

[pumpkinhead09]

I love the guitar in this song.

And this song, period.

[Robbiedek]

Bloody Hell, what a cracking video, this is the original uncut version which was banned by Top Of The Pops. Mick & the gang have done some great songs but this does kick a lot of ass.

[9coltt]

This song/vid kicks ass.

[vidiot9]

Last classic Stones LP and vids - loads of folks had problems with this & Too Much Blood - both classic and groundbreaking.

Remember when these vids had a dicey political message - probably not, lol.

[Giua1973]

great video...back when they were creative when they made a video...i remember how "shocking" the church shootout scene was when this video came out....

[jimzvid]

Good picture & sound quality, 4rct! Love the shots of the old neon Holiday Inn sign in this one!

[KweeZuul]

I am STILL one of those "pussies" into Wham!, Culture Club, Duran Duran , etc... BUT NOBODY beats the Stones OR KEITH RICHARDS, that sexy bastard! One of my FAVE Stones vids AND songs. And yes, a GREAT reocrd. Was and still is...

[Blucidian09]

Great Stones Song! Especially with the guitar feedback as well as the end echo!!!!!

[Shakkajahankhan]

I can remember Muriel Grey on The Tube slating it on being too violent

[bcbest]

I believe MTV in the U.S. banned this version to be broadcast while MuchMusic here in Canada aired it.

while a tad violent, good song and a video with a message.

[Kohntarkosz]

No, MTV definitely played it. I remember seeing it many times, and trying to figure out the plot.

[nassierkhan]

A truly hard record. I reckon it would do better today but at the time too many pussies were into Culture Club & Wham!

[hm4steve]

Love this video, love this song.
