'Melody' ruins the otherwise flawless Black and Blue...question, if I were to burn a copy of B&B without Melody, what would be a good outtake from that era to fill the space? |

Well there are some decent choices, you could choose early versions of later released songs Worried About You or Slave, the ballad instrumental Act Together (which is fine tune). I've always liked I Love Ladies and I Got A Letter (a Keith sung reggae tune, a cover i believe) too. Never cared much for Melody, though check out Mickboy's remaster of B&B plus outtakes and unreleased live tracks, From Rags To Excess, which is excellent. |

That's a good call..I've always thought the same thing...There are not much for outtakes from that era...but you could replace it with Memo from Turner...even though it's a bit anachronistic...Criss Cross Mind (Save Me) would probably be your best bet from a slightly earlier era... |

It has nothing to do with my political leanings either mind you. It is just a pandering piece of shite regardless of the message that it trys(unsuccessfully,btw)to convey.

The more I read the lyrics to that turd of a song the more convinced I am that Mick lost a bet with Keith and the forfeit was that one of the songs on the new album had to be written by his sons Gabriel and Lucas instead. Its the only reason I can think of as to why the lyrics read like they're the work of an 8 year old let loose with a Profanisaurus. |

A Profanisaurus? Would that be anything like a Fuckupinasaurus? |

You'll find that nothing else will work - nothing you try will have the same production quality or studio sound. Learn to love it - it's easier if you can get into the love of black music that spawned this cocktail jazz/jump blues hybrid (like a cross between Bobby Short and Louis Jordan). And who doesn't love a song in which the singer searches for his bee-yatch "like a mustard for a ham"?

I know that I'm alone on an island with respect to this, but, in my opinion, the worst Stones song, the one that to me is nails on a blackboard, is Heartbreaker. |

I've never believed that "a mustard for a ham" is what Mick is singing. What I hear is "I went looking for her high and low/Like a rooster for a hen/She's crashed out in the bathroom/In the arms of my best friend." "Hen" is a much closer rhyme to "friend" than "ham" is, and "rooster for a hen" actually makes sense, while "a mustard for a ham" is absurd for at least three reasons: 1) "mustard" is what is referred to as a "mass noun" (as distinguished from a "count noun"), meaning you can have "some mustard" but not "a mustard"; 2) mustard, unlike roosters, does not possess the faculty of volition and is thus not going to be out looking for anything; and 3) looking for someone "like a mustard for a ham" is not an expression known in the English language (Google it and the only reference you will find is the "Melody" lyrics), while "like a rooster for a hen" is an ancient English formulation and no doubt appears in many (most?) other languages, as well.
This is not the only problem with the "official" lyrics. The "Gomper" lyrics are written as "By the lake with lily flowers/Wallow away the evening hours." Clearly, the correct lyric is "Wile away the evening hours." To "wile away the hours" is a common English expression meaning "to pass the time idly." "Wallow away the evening hours" is not only meaningless, but like "mustard for a ham" its only Google hit is the bogus "Gomper" lyric.
There are plenty of other examples. In Wyman's "Downtown Suzie," the line "It's Lucy with the clientele" (pronounced in the French manner as "CLEE-un-TEL")--she's a hooker, right?--is rendered as "Lucy with the cleaning towel." Huh?
