“It was Keith’s great riff, and I wrote the rest. The funny thing was that it turned into this reggae song after two takes. And that take on ‘Tattoo You’ was the only take that was a complete rock and roll take. And then it went to reggae completely for about 20 takes, and that’s why everyone said, “Oh, that’s crap. We don’t want to use that.” And no one went back to Take 2, which was the one we used, the rock track.” — Mick Jagger (describing “Start Me Up”). Believe it or not, but a fair amount of our songs wind up their way into reggae versions as well. Always surprising. March 26, 2013 by Daimian Holiday Scott
