Rizollin I'm wondering what you all think is the best live version of this? I gotta say this song has one of the Stone's best guitar solos, but I think they could have done more with it on Black and Blue (should have been louder and longer). The solo on Live in Lyon is even shorter. So is there any live boot or alternate studio take available where they just play the fuck out of it?

texile ive got that version from the black and blue sessions - its harder and funkier than the studio version - although the vocals were incomplete...
always sounded like a very good cross between the ohio players and war...an excellent combination for a bunch of white boys.
love that middle break with those minor chords....
jazzy.

Saint Sway I love this song. Its chaotic but fun. Which is the case with all their great juiced up and sloppy classics.

B&B is one of my favorite records. Theres stuff on their that really rocks hard. Great guitar album.

it was actually culled together a bit like Bridges & Bang, but actually sounds more cohesive. Maybe its the 8 tracks, less is more approach.

I wish the songs from Blue got more play and recognition

glencar This is one of Mick's goofiest lyric/vocal jobs ever. I like the song sometimes but really, there's so much better stuff out there.

I say Hey negrita, hey now
Move your body, move your mouth
Shake, lady, way down south
Shake, baby, in your home town

Come si chiama, what's your your game?
I'm just a poor man, what's your name?
Shake your body, do it up now
Shake your body, move it up now

Hey negrita, hey now
Hey conchita, shake it up now

Ah yeah, do it up now
Mueva las carreras, do it up now

Flash of gold in your ears, child
Flash of gold in your eyes
Saw the gleam in your mouth
Saw the steel in your thighs

Bate las caderas, do it up now

Just a momentita, not so fast
I need money for my sweet ass
I say, "Listen I'm a poor man, my pay is low
Here's one last dollar and then we go"

"One last dollar?"
She say "I've got my pride
I'm going to cut you balls, boy
I'm going to tan your hide"

Hey negrita, hey now
Hey negrita, do it right now

Come on, boys

Ah shake it up
Shake it up now

Hey negrita, hey now
What I say?



TrackTalk

That number came about from Keith and I in a hotel, you know... idea swaps. And it eventually came around to, What was that one you were working on, Woody? So I thought, Oh, great, here's my chance. I immediately made up this riff.

- Ron Wood, 1982

All of us, independently and together, were into reggae, and it was also a mood of the time. I had this particular lick that I took into the studio and the others said, What are we going to start with? and I said, I've got this song. Charlie was sitting behind his kit, so he was already into it and then Keith and Mick both got into the motion of it. That was Hey Negrita, which came together very easily. The key to getting a song across in this band is never to try and write all the words. If you've got the rhythm, you're lucky! Let Mick write the words and then you're in with a chance.

- Ron Wood, 2003

Hey Negrita. It's a compliment. I mean, it's not a put down. I mean, what's the problem, the Hey part? No, I think hey will get past. What, you think colored people won't like it? Well... only the most sensitive ones. It's about South Americans, that's just what you say, you know? You say, hey negrita... one negri... negrota... you say to a lady one, a lady negress... hey negrita! In fact, it's been done, been said to my old lady (Bianca de Macias), you see?

- Mick Jagger, 1976

waaghals I love this song a lot, but it reminds me a lot of track on Bo Diddley's LP "Where it all began",. I think the name of the track was "Hey Jerome"!

Ronny Wood was inspired by BO's riff when they wrote the song!
