47 years ago the Rolling Stones recorded Get off My Cloud.
Written by Mick JaggerandKeith Richards, the song was recorded in early September 1965. The song is noted for its drum intro by Charlie Watts and twin guitars by Brian Jones and Keith Richards.[2]
The lyrics are defiant and rebellious, which was common practice for
the Rolling Stones around that time; they were beginning to cultivate
their infamous "bad boy" image. The Stones have said that the song is
written as a reaction to their sudden popularity after the success of
"Satisfaction". The song deals with their aversion to people's
expectations of them.
“
I was sick
and tired, fed up with this and decided to take a drive downtown; It was
so very quiet and peaceful, there was nobody, not a soul around; I laid
myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream; In the morning the
parking tickets were just like flags stuck on my windscreen
”
On the song, Richards said in 1971, "I never dug it as a record. The
chorus was a nice idea, but we rushed it as the follow-up. We were in L.A., and it was time for another single. But how do you follow-up "Satisfaction"? Actually, what I wanted was to do it slow like a Lee Dorsey thing. We rocked it up. I thought it was one of Andrew Loog Oldham's worst productions."[3] In a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone,
Jagger said, "That was Keith's melody and my lyrics... It's a
stop-bugging-me, post-teenage-alienation song. The grown-up world was a
very ordered society in the early '60s, and I was coming out of it.
America was even more ordered than anywhere else. I found it was a very
restrictive society in thought and behavior and dress."[4] In the 2003 book According to... The Rolling Stones,
Richards says: "'Get off of My Cloud' was basically a response to
people knocking on our door asking us for the follow-up to
'Satisfaction'... We thought, 'At last. We can sit back and maybe think
about events.' Suddenly there's the knock at the door and of course what
came out of that was 'Get off of My Cloud'.
The song is in E major and is a variation on the "Louie Louie" riff:
I-IV-V-IV; in this case E A B A. Brian Jones' guitar part can only just
about be heard in the mono mix of the song as it is buried under the
sound of the other instrument parts. It can only be clearly heard in
some, but not all, unofficial stereo remixes.
