I feel that the marriage of words and music has never been more successful than on the Stones' "Star, Star."
To the casual listener, the song begins as an innocuous Chuck Berry teenage anthem, maybe about cars or girls.
Then Mick Jagger sings "starlover starlover"* batantly, clearly, and indifferently, making the lyrics even more sleazy and shocking because of their sugary surroundings.
It's kind of like Hayley Mills insouciantly removing her top and panties during a Walt Disney movie: it's the last thing you expect so it stands out more.

Mick riding the giant cock during Star Star in 75 was the absolute pinnacle of their live performances, long before the bad boys turned PC.
Can you imagine that sort of spectacle today?
NO WAY, JOSE! |

No offense, morocco, but you obviously haven't spent a lot of time listening to Chuck Berry if you think that they're innocuous and sugary.

I think when Mick hits the chorus of CS BLues it even hits you harder than the Star, Star...especially that 2nd CS chorus on the original - he is screaming that out. |
