Who's Driving Your Plane?
(Jagger/Richards)

It was your father who trained you and your mother who brained you
To be so useless and shy
But I just replaced them and tried not to break them
Because you could stand up if you tried
And I wanna see your face when your knees and your legs
Are just gonna break down and die

And, who's driving your plane?
Who's driving your plane?
Who's driving your plane?
Who's driving your plane?
Are you in control or is it driving you insane?

If I could wave a magic wand, then maybe you'd change
Back to bein' a blonde
And your skirt would come down, it would cover your feet!
If I said, "It's not camp to wear Tiffany lamps"
You'd be thrown right out in the street

And I wonder who's driving your plane?
Who's driving your plane?
Who's driving your plane?
Who's driving your plane?
Are you in control or is it driving you insane?

You could stand on your head or maybe sing in bed
If I said it was the thing to do
If you're in with the faces and their getaway places
'Cause they don't take no notice of you
Well, the trendy pace-setters will just called you a pain
'Cause I want to know, who's driving your plane

All the great 60s bands were somewhat influanced by Dylan.This sounds like a great response to Dylans "Leapord Skin Pillbox Hat" from (I think) Dylans "Highway 61 Revisited" album.

Thanks for sharing!

@MrFlowers Dave Hassinger and Jack Nitzsche were a great help for the early stuff the Stones recorded. I read it several times. For example, Nitzsche arranged the keyboard in Play with Fire an several other Stones songs like Paint It Black and Let's Spend The Night Together. He also did the choral arrangements for You Can't Always Get What You Want. Nitzsche introduced Ry Cooder to the Stones in 1968, which influenced Keith's guitar playing (and the Stones sound) tremendously.

What an amazing bass line! The keys kill me. The accents on the drums are amazing! Trashy barrelhouse music. Pints of warm ale and cigarettes!

@MrFlowers  I thought Satisfaction was recorded in Chicago (either that, or Miami)??

Deliciously trashy!

[lickss]

Kick Ass!!

I always loved the sound they got in Los Angeles with Dave Hassinger engineering at the RCA studios. All those amazing singles were recorded there; Satisfaction, Get of My Cloud, Have you seen your Mother Baby?. This is the sound, they never sounded like this again once they moved to Olympic.

August 1966 RCA Studios Hollywood Ian Stuart played keys on everything pretty much from 63 to 71, though there are likely exceptions. This is from the footnotes from the SINGLES COLLECTION

[bassbob42]

These were the musicians on the A side of the single, the B side was Who's Driving your plane. My guess they were recorded at the same time

Mick Jagger - Vocals,

Keith Richards - Guitar, Backing Vocals

Brian Jones - Guitar

Bill Wyman - Bass guitar

Charlie Watts - Drums

Ian Stewart - Keyboards

Unknown Musicians - Brass

I have to know!

[laurentlaurent65]

Thank You stoned1981 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kingdingle]

[TerryOlinger]

Love it! Stones at their best! Thanks for posting!

[giacobaldi2]

Wow that song is VIOLENT!

since it was recorded in london i don't think its jack on piano

[bassbob42]

If I could wave a magic wand, maybe you'd change back, to being a blonde. Sleazy. I love this song. Nasty hard driving blues. Keith Richards licks, and likely Ian Stuart on keys.

[himycatsdead]

There is so much grimy dance hall sound going on in this song I would half expect a black guy wearing a bowler hat with a cigar in his mouth to be banging out the piano parts on here!
