I love me some (early) Stones.
On one of my recent trips to Tokyo I stumbled upon a theme bar that was named Star star after the Stones song. I don't know if Star star is obscure necessarily, but most people familiar with the Stones don't know that song in my experience. For me it's a favorite - cheeky, racy and with great energy. Never fails to put me in a good mood.
Anyway, I say this to the bartender upon arrival, and I would imagine they get people saying that all the time, but he was just super happy about it and immediately put on the song on full volume. That's one of the things I love about Japan; there's no niche or quirk too small to find other people with that exact same interest. And then they usually do something with that passion, like opening an entire bar revolving around one song.
My second request on that first visit was this song, another Stones favorite of mine. He's most likely drugged out of his mind, but boy does Mick both look and sound spectacular here.
Love the Stones and love this song! (Star Star) Great choice. Original title was Starfucker, but the record company didnt like that , if I remember well the story. Sweet Virginia is one of my favs too.
