"Stray Cat Blues" is the eighth song on the Rolling Stones' album ''Beggars Banquet''. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and produced by Jimmy Miller. Miller's production of the song is very representative of his style, featuring a very prominent hi hat beat, droning piano performed by Nicky Hopkins, a mellotron performed by Brian Jones, all electric guitars (including slide) performed by Richards and vocals from Jagger kept even in the mix. According to Mick Jagger 〔(Stray Cat Blues )〕 the song was inspired by "Heroin" by the Velvet Underground. The intro of Stray Cat and Heroin are similar. The song is told from the perspective of a man lusting after having sex with a 15-year-old groupie, reasoning that "it's no hanging matter, it's no capital crime." A live performance was captured during the Rolling Stones' American Tour 1969 and released on the 1970 live album ''Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!'' but, unlike the studio version, it is very slow and mellow sounding. Additionally, the lyrics are more provocative as the girl's age was changed to 13. Nitzer Ebb covered this song on the "I Give To You" single in 1991. Johnny Winter covered this song in 1974. A version of the song also appeared on Soundgarden's 1992 EP ''Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas'' and as a B-side on the single for their song "Jesus Christ Pose".〔(SOMMS (Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas) - Soundgarden | AllMusic )〕〔(Unofficial SG Homepage: Jesus Christ Pose )〕 The song is a playable track in ''Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock''. ==Personnel== * Mick Jagger — vocal * Keith Richards — guitars * Brian Jones — mellotron * Bill Wyman — bass guitar * Charlie Watts — drums * Nicky Hopkins — piano * Rocky Dijon — congas 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stray Cat Blues」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
