Talk:Some Girls

Two Covers
Why are there two versions of the same cover all of a sudden? Some Girls has two covers and both should be represented. Stan weller 00:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. Can we get the censored cover, please? AmericanLeMans (talk) 20:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There are three different versions, actually. The third and final version of the album art did away with the die-cuts and replaced the Stones' drag-queen likenesses with hand-drawn women, drawn to look as real as possible. It was this version of the album art that had been used on the CBS-era issues on LP, cassette and CD, but I wonder if it had been used by Atlantic Records since about 1979-1980???

Article needs clean up
Choice of verbs is especially a problem. For example, saying Mick claims to be influenced by disco makes me laugh every time I read it. Obviously, there's disco on the album. Is the article challenging whether Mick knows what disco is? Whether he was really influenced by it? Whether it was someone else (not Mick) who was really influenced? This kind of thing goes on throughout articles on the Stones. Mick has said he was influenced by disco (in more than one printed source). So, why not just use simple, factual language. Mick says...

Passive voice in first paragraph could be made active, especially as the album sold quite well (IIRC), and still sells. So it was a highlight. Maybe it's the word "output" or something. At any rate, needs to be strengthened. If no objections, I'll put this on my to do list.--69.108.136.43 (talk) 19:49, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

I think having links to words like dinosaurs (when the phrase is cultural dinosaurs)is silly and distracting.LeValley 20:53, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Additionally, the sentence, "His approach to recording breathed life into the somewhat dense sounding recordings like Goats Head Soup (1973) and It's Only Rock 'n Roll (1974) albums." makes no sense. It makes it sounds as though Chris Kimsey engineered those album, when as far as I can tell, he was not involved with them at all. I suppose that the writer of this sentence was trying to contrast 'Some Girls' with those other two albums, but completely failed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.212.187.2 (talk) 03:22, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Punks, in 1977, didn't "idolize" the Rolling Stones
Or anyone! Idolizing bands was antithetical to what punk rock was about. Mick Jagger was seen as a show-biz celebrity, at least by the Sex Pistols and their friends (source: PUNK magazine). What did the Clash sing: "No Elvis, Beatles or Rolling Stones in 1977". Adding citation needed tags for now.Smitse (talk) 06:08, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Miss You controversy
I took the following section out as it appears controversial and largely WP:OR. When it has references it can maybe be included again. Karst (talk) 10:58, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

″There was some controversy surrounded the lyrics to the title song, an extended musing on women of various nationalities and races. The line "Black girls just wanna get fucked all night" drew strong protests from various groups, including Jesse Jackson's PUSH. Jagger famously replied, "I've always said, you can't take a joke, it's too fucking bad," although he was reportedly more conciliatory to Jackson in private, as he claimed the song was intended as a parody of racist attitudes. Saturday Night Live cast member Garrett Morris would have the final say on the controversy with a mock-editorial on the show's Weekend Update segment: After giving the impression that he was going to openly criticise the Stones, he quoted a sanitised version of the "Black girls just..." line, then stated "I have one thing to say to you, Mr. Mick Jagger ... where are these black girls ... you got any phone numbers?!?" ″


 * I added some references but left out the SNL bit since that seems more of pop culture reference. Piriczki (talk) 13:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
