Miss Amanda Jones

 "Miss Amanda Jones"  is a song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for The Rolling Stones album Between the Buttons, released early in 1967.

Inspiration
The song is believed to have been inspired by Amanda Lear, a French singer and model, who was a friend of Brian Jones. Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michael Guesdon in their book The Rolling Stones: All the Songs state that they consider the song to be the prototype for the early seventies sound of the Rolling Stones, with the combination of Jagger's and Richard's voices and the "rhythm riff".

The character Amanda Jones, played by Lea Thompson in the 1987 film Some Kind of Wonderful is believed to have been named after the name of this song. The film features a cover of the song "Miss Amanda Jones", recorded that year by The March Violets, which Ira Robbins describes as "amazingly catchy".

Reception
Billboard described the song along with "Cool, Calm and Collected" as "outstanding", and part of the "winning package". Tim Dowly in his 1983 book The Rolling Stones described the song as a "fast rocker".

Covers
The song was covered by The Corpse Grinders for their 1984 album Valley of Fear. The March Violets recorded it for their 1987 album Some Kind of Wonderful. The A-Bones recorded a single of the song in 2004.
