"Stray Cat Blues" by The Rolling Stones
Composers: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
Lyrics:
Yeah, got some tail.
I hear the click-clack of your feet on the stairs
I know you’re no scare-eyed honey
There’ll be a feast if you just come up stairs
But it’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
I can see that you’re fifteen years old
No, I don’t want your ID
I can see that you’re so far from home
But that’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
Oh yeah
You’re a strange stray cat
Oh yeah
Don’t ya scratch like that
Oh yeah
You’re a strange cat
I bet, bet your mama don’t know you scream like that
I bet your mother don’t know you can spit like that
You look so weird and you’re so far from home
But you don’t really miss your mother
Don’t look so scared, I’m not no mad brained bear
But it’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
Oh yeah
Woo!
I bet your mama don’t know that you scratch like that
I bet she don’t know you can bite like that
You say got a friend, that she’s wilder than you
Why don’t you bring her upstairs
If she’s so wild then she can join in too
It’s no hanging matter
It’s no capital crime
Oh yeah
You’re a strange stray cat
Oh yeah
Don’t ya scratch like that
Oh yeah
You’re a strange stray cat
I bet you mama don’t know you can bite like that
I’ll bet she never saw you scratch my back

Bill Wyman lived this song.
No she was 13.
@@Himaryousno in the live version they say 13 years old. Bill Wyman definitely lived this song 😅
Imagine if a famous band wrote a song like this today, I can already imagine the outrage
Damn straight.
Lyrics of that style abound in reggaeton and erotic salsa songs...
In the live version on Get Yer Ya-Yas Out it was "13 years old".
@@kristianbjrnsen4274 on the original album release it was 13 years old too...
@@Kstxrd no, 15.
Keith Richards on an open-tuned Les Paul Custom. What a sound. That lead bit at the end is classic.
Most of today's music is genetic shit with no meaning
That's a single coil guitar sound if I ever heard one. I would have reckoned a Tele.
@@ElectricLabel I thought so, too, until I saw Keith on the film made when the Stones were putting together the song Sympathy for the Devil, and there's a part where Keith has his black Custom plugged into his Vox Supreme amp, and he hit a chord halfway up the neck in Open D tuning and it sounded just like the guitars in Stray Cat Blues -- very trebly. I think the Vox amps had treble boost, and that might have been part of it. I don't think Keith got into Tele's until later on.
@@chriscampbell9191 Did it maybe have a coil tap or something? I know they made a few Customs like that.
@@ElectricLabel I don't think Keith's Custom had any mods. If it was wired with a coil tap, that would explain the piercing treble tone... But he may have used a Rangemaster treble boost (although I haven't read of him using one). I know the Vox Supreme he played through had top boost. One guy I talked to here on YT claims to have nailed all of Keith's 66-69 tones with a Custom and a Vox Supreme, so maybe it was something with the amp?
How dirty and decadent it sounds.I love it.
It epitomizes the Stones at that time and nastiness of their music.
Stones at the top of their game, Jagger untouchable as the greatest frontman of all time.

I don't know about "frontman" but the greatest Rock singer of all time was Steve Marriott - Humble Pie, Small Faces, and solo career. And nobody loves the Stones more than me. I thought the Stones should have broken up when Charlie died.
@@richardseegman803 I've never heard such nonsense in all my life
One of the best by the Stones. Charlie is killing it on drums. RIP
It’s about screwing a 15 yr old girl. Do u screw 15 yr old girls?
One of my top 10 Stones' songs. Guitar, vocals, drums....perfection!
Sure !!
But they’re literally singing about being pedophiles?
Beats anything they put out today
@@charliet593
no they're singing about the permissive nature of the progressive parent who say that females should choose their own s3 xual activity and have the ability to chose if abortion if thats what they want
It's a song. On GET YER YA YAS OUT Jagger says 13 years old. Take a klonopin it's a song and one of the Stones greatest numbers. IORR.
the creativity of using the album graffiti fonts for lyrics is brilliant
Excellent job, whoever made this video! I thought it was an official Stones video. I've had a few lyrics wrong all these years lol!
You gotta understand, the 60's were a free for all baby!
Everyone is talking about the dirty lyrics, but not enough people are talking about the great drumming from Charlie Watts!
Beggars Banquet is arguably one of the top three albums by the Stones. When you think about it within their catalog, specifically what preceded it (and I am not putting down the albums that came before), Banquet really stands out. Such a different sound compared to what had they had done previously. Simply a rock and roll masterpiece.
Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers. The Stones at their peak, all produced by Jimmy Miller
Nah, it's the top album by the Stones.
NOT arguably. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Exile on Main Street, and Stickyfingers are the best albums of all times! The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, CSNY, and Metallica can fight for fifth slot.
@@marlow8401😂😮😅😮
I like Satanic majesties request, a much underrated album. But Beggars banquet is imo their finest.
thanks for everything Charlie, we love you!
What? Did Charlie help you move? Haaaaaa....his 80 million + art collection says your welcome!
I hope u record it
Rest in Peace, Charlie Watts..Thanks for all the great music brother..👍🏻✌🏻👊🏻🎶🎶🥁🥁🥁
This is actually my favourite Charlie Watts performance too. RIP Charlie.
This news sucks
That drumming really came through -- even on a cheap portable stereo (when I was a kid). And yeah, RIP Charlie.
Only if they were of the Caucasian persuasion.
@@thomasgreaves354 what do you mean??🧐??
Gimme shelter is OKtoo did I spell that right?
Has to be one of the raunchiest songs ever penned. Watts --- and the rest of the band --- at their best.
Sensational Alex Harvey Band "Snakebite" & King Crimson's " Ladies of the Road" delves into the same nether regions.
It's true, keith Richards on that driving guitar, now that's the best!
Keith taught Taylor everything and then he quit . Taylor still owes Keith for lessons 😎❗
I love the "meowing" guitar towards the end.
Me too I thought I was the only one who thought this!
No thanks to Taylor, although Keith never played Lead 🙄❗
@@FantomWireBrian
MT was a true virtueoso
@@kevio6868 That's about it , but he doesn't have a band and never was a part of one. That's the life of a true virtuoso . 😎
Back when I was a 15 year old girl, this song and these lyrics turned me on. They still do. Haters, don’t take it all so seriously.
knew girls back then who said the same, now 68 & recently was told by a young woman from paris, she just wanted to get rid of her virginity when she was 14, she lost it, was relieved & is a strong bright great woman of 26 now! & by the way, myself I was always way too shy......
It’s cool that the lyrics still hit you the same way today…. Are you still a female ?
Always have been, but now more than ever before.@@matthewzizzo4586

Definitely am! Then a girl, now a woman.@@matthewzizzo4586
Mick's great sleazy vocal.
Keith's great sleazy guitar.
I just posted that Cahrlie's drums (not Charlie) sound drunk- and I mean that as the highest compliment...but you nailed it with "sleazy". Well done .
Poor guitar

Pretty heavy song for it’s time. Hard’n Heavy.
So wonderfully sleazy!
Love this classic rock ! Lasciviously vulgar ,low down dirty!
No other band could have come up with this song. Dark, bluesy, wonderful Rolling Stones
my favorite Stones song easily
nothing about this is blues.
@@letsgofishing5238 He said bluesy, for example the guitar tone is very bluesy
@@erikfelik6426 Yeah sure and it has some blues lick and "blues" guitar, i just hate how the word bluesy is used. It's so far deattached from what the blues were originally
no other band would make a song about fucking a fifteen year old
I was in a garage band back in the early '70s and we played this one at teen clubs and they went berserk over this one. They couldn't believe we could pull it off.
What instrument did you play?
The studio mix is an absolute masterpiece. So hypnotic. I got it in my guts since 40 years. The essential of the stones concentrate in 4 minutes (surprisingly think to mimic velvet style. Wow, they should have played together)
Very underrated; STONES at their best; always considered Let It Bleed and Beggars Banquet my favorite Stones albums for over 50 years of my life....
Sweet Aye' How lucky were we to have these songs and those Albums all I need is one more Album for that set Then I just need a Decent Technics Turntable to plug into my amazing oldish 7~2 Pioneer Receiver and surround to play my 350 Albums on VERY LOUD cause I'm the BOSS.............Till the missus gets home 🤣🙃
Sticky Fingers is at the top too!
Makes ya wonder doesnt it.Buggered if i know what i woulda done without them.
I could agree, I have always thought the same.
and Exile on Main Street above all . . .
Without a doubt one of my favorite Stones songs.
Muchn better live, in Cleveland, Ohio!
This tune is THE ESSENCE of The Stones....pure & simple.
The lyrics are the essence of the Stones too, unfortunately.

Man that is one LONG lavatory wall. That stall must be friggin huge.

God but the Jimmy Miller era was pure magic.
a lot of people think its because of mick taylor...but taylor came in 69 and left in 74, pure magic was from 68 to 73 so youre damn right...
Gorgeous.....love when the Stones grind the grease of sleaze.
Mick saying it like it was
I wish I could goback and pretend I heard this song for the first time. God bless mr watts.
My favorite of theirs. Crisp, vicious. The stone at thier best
Agree,the Stones at their very best!
this might sound emo but paint it black is my favorite but this is still a masterpiece
@@robloxnate9150 Paint it black with its slamming prisondoors and pounding drive is also a Stones' masterpiece.
@@robloxnate9150 sorry got myself confused there with We love you,Come to think of it,this was really their top way back then.

I can't believe that Stray Cats are so great that even The Stones Made a song about them in the past.
They were only 15 years old!
You're misinformed.
@@cognitiveawareness5833 Pretty sure he was joking.
Amen bro the stones in their dirty prime. It's only rock and roll but I like it!!!!
Love the sound of the drums, just perfect.
Just THE killer Stones tone. Lewd and dirty. KILLER TUNE!
WHEN THE ROLLING STONES WERE THE ROLLING STONES. 66'-72'. CRUDE & RAW IT RIPS U TO SHREDS.
66' - 72', yep.
In concert they were at their best during those days.They've kinda lost it as a performance act since 1972. Their studio work post 1972 however is not that bad. They still wrote plenty of great songs. Not as consistent as in their golden age but they still remained a pretty good band.
Debby Harry agrees
Love this album, Blues and blues and more blues!
Beggard banquet
and rock and roll
and country/traditionnal..
@@sebasdebordeaux8347 it's got the goods I so miss good music

One of the stones' finest songs, and that's saying something. Pinaccle rock n roll right here, dirty as it should be.
absolutely ! that's what I've always thought!

Absolutely cracking!! The Stones on fire. Jagger really could write amazing lyrics to a mother of a tune!!
One of their greatest tracks.
Lord, how can a human write a song of this magnitude? Lord, this song is such a deep fusion of blues and rock. How is it possible?
Lust
This is my greatest opening to a song hands down.
I can picture the RPM’s slowing down and speeding up distorting the vocals giving it a real serial killer vibe! 😈
These guys are the greatest there will ever be.
Amen!!! !! 👍
I love them. So much better than the Who and Beatles
Now it's "I can see you're just fifty years old"....
Keith Richard's best work.
as usuall
Simply my favorite Stone's song ever. I love the piano groove.
Victor Amaral mine too, for over 45 years.
that s right
Victor Amaral: Very true, it's fucking great.
Nicky Hopkins, RIP
Mine too. My favorite all time album also.
ONE OF THE BADDEST, BOLDEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN.
the lyrics are raw, to say the least
Beggards banquent was my first disc of the rolling stones i bought, stray cat blues and street fighthing man were my favorites of that album
Had to be a hell of a lot of fun to be Jagger back when Beggar's Banquet was recorded. Mick would have been 24. A great age for any young man...but exceptionally good if your the lead singer of the greatest rock band in the world recording masterpieces like Beggars Banquet...the first album in the Stones great 4 album run including Let It Bleed,Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. The Stones had a lot of good albums...but those 4 are the only one's that fully capture their rock genius.
Love this particular song and this entire Stones album more than any other. And those exceptional graphical lyrics just add to this whole extraordinary experience. They put me right back in the late '60's for thirty extra special minutes.
Many good times in the late '60s come to mind whenever I hear any cut from Beggars Banquet.
Masterpiece.
I always thought as if Stray cat was filthy and grungy enough, melodically, vocally and lyrically, Charlie's drums sound drunk. Not his drumming, mind you, but that hi hat is like a drunk slurring his words...just creates the perfect vibe...I am old...and they were together 7 years before I was born. Glad I got as much of the greatest band in the world as I did. Sean in NY
But I like it,yes I do!
According to Mick Jagger, the song was inspired by "Heroin" by The Velvet Underground, with the intros of both songs being particularly similar.
Remember the old adage about how the first Velvet Underground LP only sold 5,000 copies but everybody who bought it went out and started a band?
@@Ralphieboy yes, very very influential record and band....no doubt about it!
I love the Velvets, one of the best bands ever. I’d put them in the top 5 of all time :)
Inspired or plagiarized? A thin line.
@@theloniouscoltrane3778 A homage, I guess. Because it doesn't sound obvious until someone points it out.

I heard the live version on "Ger Your Ya-Yas Out" but it did not have any of the energy of this song. This version is just bursting with it...
That version was one of the best on Ya Yas I like the 3 versions, there's a hybrid they did at Hyde Park
"We are deeply indebted to Nicky Hopkins"

Yeah fuck 'em. Don't listen to it. If the cancel club ever tries to burn this album there will be hell to raise.
Finally its a Rolling Stones on Joy!
THE ROLLING STONES FOREVER! LONG LIVE THE ROLLING STONES!
Stones ever and forever in my life! A fantastic song!
Every Mick song should come with a lyrics book
They're all Mick's lyrics.
I loved the part in the movie Jumping Jack Flash where Whoopi is trying to figure out his lyrics and says, speak English Mick!! I never got the lyrics to Tumbling Dice until Lynda Rondstant sang it. No internet back then.
Ive known this song for quite a while. I had the Bastards Banquet bootleg, which if anyone still has, please upload it to youtube. The dear doctor take & all of it was just amazing. But especially dear doctor.
Anyway. To your point. My mind probably didnt want to believe what was being said in this song so every time Mick sang "thats no hanging matter" i actually, until i watched this lyric video thought Mick was saying, "...thats no hangin' on my tour". The way he says "matter" is different. I almost wonder if "thats no hanging matter" was purposely pronounced odd to kind of hide the intent or it could just be me.
emil elliman this user called Tesfu may has it, I don’t think he has the bootleg but prob the tracks. He has stones bootlegs, and lots
Why
only Mick could sing this and get away with it
i like young women; 18 and above; of course! my favorite rollin' stoned diddy...
damn straight and no other band could play it .
The movie Almost Famous comes to mind.
@@BobLeton no idea if that's true but if so he fucking earned it, mate.
@@BobLeton I understood it all up to 'who just banged it off' ......to the end. Why can't you put your thoughts into correct English? Have you tried 'Grammarly'? What does 'I lost the mine' mean?

Raw as hell.
Long live the memory of the late, great Brian Jones. xoxo The Clarences
God bless you Charlie. One of my favorite rock stars/non rock star.
He always maintained being a professional musician, not a rock star but eventually a superstar,

Then why did you break up lol
She turned 18
Stones weren't knighted for this one.

Based on a lot of the comments, this song still hits some raw nerves. "Stray Cat Blues" really isn't about "condoning" or encouraging sex with minors. The Stones back then were all about writing tunes that rocked, were catchy and yet made you feel infinitely uncomfortable when you dug into the lyrics. "Brown Sugar" for example...it's a powerful, irresistible steamroller of a tune that makes you want to get up and move, but the lyrics ("Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright, hear him whip the women just around midnight" or "I bet your mama was a tent show queen and all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen") paint a pretty horrifying portrait. "Street Fighting Man" at first blush may sound like an homage to youthful idealism, but when you dig into Jagger's lyrics you begin to understand that he's really singing about the futility of it all. Then of course there's "Midnight Rambler," 'nuff said about that tune. Basically, the Stones at their best (and most threatening) held up a mirror so we could see our own reflections and the images were often rather ugly, exposing societal hypocrisy. That's just my take on it for what it's worth.
"condoning" it? Shit i'd guess he spoke at the least of cohort experiences...
Maybe Mick was just dreaming about child sex. 🤣
So there has to be lyrics that talc about pedophiles? Huh... Didn't know that this is needed to write a cool song...
Comes across as a song for nonces.

Easily one of the most underrated Stones songs...its on the list of songs you would play if an alien from Mars asked you to play a Stones song that defines their sound

Top 5 Stones track for me since 1990
😮I didn’t even understand, my older brothers always played the Rolling Stones 😅 I just remember dancing to it, it was an awesome song
This is why I love the Stones piute, raw and lyrics that give me shivers
"I bet your mama don't know you spit like that".....
Wow that's damn nasty!
I betcha she does and maybe its YOUR mama who dont know I spit like that...wait, neither mama know I can spit like that, cuz neither of them be havin me.
And I bet your mama don't know you can scratch like that...
''I bet your mama don't know you scream like that''
"I bet she never saw you scratch my back."
Fucking well done video!!!! Sadly the song today would have never made it to vinyl. Speaks the truth straight up. One of my favorite Stones songs...tough bass line.
Don't hang around the naughty rockstar dressing rooms then.
A great bad ass song!
The Stones had an incredible DRONE thing happening in their recorded music in ‘68 and ‘69. Driving, churning one-chord (or I-IV over pedal tone) vamps that you never want to end. “Street Fighting Man”, “Jumpin Jack Flash”, “Midnight Rambler”, and, of course, the “Strat Cat” outro-it was a key element of their “evil” sound in this period. Was it coming from the Indian raga influences that Brian was superficially dabbling in but that Keith transformed into something completely different? Was it from the delta blues tradition? Was it just what happens when a guitarist first discovers open D tuning? All of the above?
This song in particular was inspired by the Velvet Underground's "Heroin." The Stones definitely recognized how great VU were.
@@defchan1970 Well yeah, everyone knew how great the Velvets were.
@@defchan1970 Indeed! Both great bands!
Evil indeed, the most evil sound at that point until Black Sabbath appeared out of nowhere in 1970
Influenced by both Dave Mason and Ry Cooder on the drone thing...a common thread, hypnotically running through the song...
If a band did a song like this today 90% of you would be completely outraged.
