After the heaviness of today's album selection, it is fortunate that the two songs being unveiled are significantly lighter in mood:
166. START ME UP-THE ROLLING STONES (1981)
Album: Tattoo You
They've had a few decent songs since then, but to me this was the last GREAT Stones song to date.
165. RAMA LAMA DING DONG-THE EDSELS (originally released 1958, a hit in 1961)
Album: ?????
A silly but nonetheless wonderful old doo wop song. It hits all the right spots for a song of this nature.

Start Me Up is one of those songs that became a turn off because of overexposure. Not just radio play (I can handle that), but it seems to become the go to song by lazy ad execs who need a car ad for Toyota or Honda or whomever. Hey, cars and trucks start, so Start Me Up is perfect. We'll replay the commercial a gazillion times to make our point, without any regards to the obvious sexual overtones of the song. I'm waiting for it to appear in a commercial for and ED drug.
I agree that Tattoo You was the last listenable Stones album.
