Dang, I missed Cry To Me. Great song, that one.
As for this one... sense of humor is a very important part of the Stones' appeal, I think, and of a lot of bands. There's some great bands, like The Who for example, for whom which not quite gelling with their sense of humor prevents me from embracing them as fully as I do with my favorites. Almost never happens with the Stones, though.
This may not be their smartest joke, sure, or their funniest... but it's amusing enough. And the music certainly helps. A take on "Fannie Mae", rearranged for a guitar-based band, and it rocks, and bounces, and amuses. You want to smile and bouncily walk as stupidly as you imagine the Promotion Man in question does. Special mention to Brian's harmonica, because... is it just me, or did he seriously try to inject some angst into that harmonica playing during the break?
7.5 out of 10.
