let's see, which part should we excise here from verse 2
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hotLady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stopHouse boy knows that he's doing alrightYou shoulda heard 'em just around midnight
uh
how about verse 3
Ah, and I bet your mama was a tent show queenAnd all her boyfriends were sweet sixteenI'm no schoolboy, but I know what I likeYou shoulda heard me just around midnight
oh

XPS Like every verse ends with "You shoulda heard 'em..." without the description of what you're hearing.

genius.com commenter:
“Brown sugar” is also a reference to (brown) heroin, which Mick Jagger used liberally at the time. He is asking why heroin is so fun. So there is another layer to the song which is about Jagger’s complicated relationship with the euphoric, taboo, and deadly drug.+10
+10
brown sugar, right after that:
"got me craving the, the brown sugar, just like a black girl should, yeah"
um, yes but the black girl...heroin. drugs.

I mean, they could quietly drop the song and most folks wouldn't care as long as they get the other 15 expected hits in a show.

They didn't do "Beast of Burden" the last time they played here, and people were upset. Add it back in place of "Brown Sugar" and-Voila!-happy campers.

and it also points to a kind of songwriting style for them (the kind that is most frequently played on the radio, like start me up) that is not my favorite
I've seen the rolling stones in their geriatry play "start me up" on television so many times that i always forget how good their 60's stuff is. Otm

”Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (first 2-3 minutes; the part they use in Casino)They use the whole song in Casino! From the shot outside the Gold Rush to “They were 1500 miles away, and I don’t know anybody who can see that far.”

You're right, it plays through...You know what I mean about the break in the song, though, right? The first two minutes of the scene are great, then the meandering rest of the song takes over.

ts brown sugar vs some girls
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Saturday, 28 August 2021 03:41 (two years ago) link
some girls without a doubt, both in terms of the music (better) and also the degrees of misogyny and racism (less, more normalized in an era of sleazeballs who get the benefit of the doubt 50 years later)
― professional anti- (Karl Malone), Saturday, 28 August 2021 03:43 (two years ago) link

Anybody FW the Little Richard "Brown Sugar" cover from later in '71?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7ycG_jlqXc
On one hand it's disappointing because it's Little Richard AND "Brown Sugar", so it should be the greatest, nastiest thing ever, but it isn't. OTOH, Richard is game enough, and hearing the song arranged as a retro Soul number is an interesting reimagining.

man, feeling this! i cant remember the last time i spun sticky fingers, for some reason its just fell out of my regular stones rotation over the years. in my memory it comes SCREAMING out of the gate with brown sugar and doesnt let up... just put it on for the first time in i dunno when, and thought brown sugar was playing at the wrong speed at first, it sounded so slow. i must have gotten coked-up live versions of these songs stuck in my memory banks, replacing the originals

it slows down near the end. whaddya want?! go record some songs yourself!!
but the at the end, "Complicated", which is a perfect mixture of "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Satisfaction", and one of chuckie "two times" watts best performances
― professional anti- (Karl Malone), Saturday, 28 August 2021 14:59 (two years ago) link
(the "bahs" of the chorus follow the rhythm of Satisfaction and the melody of Let's Spend the Night Together)
― professional anti- (Karl Malone), Saturday, 28 August 2021 15:01 (two years ago) link
which is a songwriting faux pas, and i'm sure the reason it's not a classic is because it's more exciting when it's the first time.
but damn, "complicated" throws it all together again and it's so good. 1967, before they slowed down

I do know what you mean, and it's extremely effective in the first part of the scene. But I love how it continues; it has to. For one thing, it would seem awkward if it just cut off at some point, but it bolsters the rest of the scene, and the way the scene emphasizes the end of the song -- or vice-versa -- is perfect. I should point out, though, that I always loved the whole song.

brown sugar is an evil, amazing song. best on the album, along with moonlight mile. heroin and coke, with the numbness and adrenaline switching places which is intriguing. like the coke song was written on heroin and the heroin song was written on coke.
