ruudtes' rolling stones & sixties music - 4

edit for headphones. A Sam Cooke cover, # 8 in Holland, # 6 in the UK in 1969 (b-side "Hold me tight" was released in 1968 with "Cupid" as b-side). Cooke composed the song in 1961 and had a # 7 hit with it in the UK. Though I don't very much like reggae - I sort of dispise Bob Marley - I like Johnny Nash's cover better than Sam Cooke's original. Mind the great backing vocals, and especially the backing vocals overdub starting at 1.58, wow.

CUPID
(Sam Cooke)

Cupid, draw back your bow
and let your arrow flow
straight to my lover's heart for me
no nobody else but me hey hey hey

Cupid, please hear my cry
and let your arrow fly
straight to my lover's heart for me

listen I don't want to bother you but I'm in distress
there's danger of me loosing all of my happiness
for I love a girl who doesn't know I exist
oh and this you can fix, sooo

Cupid draw back your bow
and let your arrow flow
straight to my lover's heart for me
nobody else but me hey hey hey

Cupid please hear my cry
and let your arrow fly
straight to my lover's heart for me

now Cupid if your arrow makes her love strong for me
well I swear I'm gonna love her until eternity
I know that 'tween the both of us her heart we can steal
Cupid help me if you will, sooo

Cupid draw back your bow
and let your arrow flow
straight to my lover's heart for me
no nobody else but me hey hey hey

Cupid please hear my cry
and let your arrow fly
straight to my lover's heart for me
hey hey Cupid, Cupid I'm calling
don't you hear me Cupid, Cupid I'm calling you
Cupid, Cupid I'm calling you
oh Cupid, Cupid I'm calling you

Edit for headphones. A 1964 Frank Zappa and Ray Collins* composition. It is the guitar solo at 1:10 that prooves this is a Zappa thing. Must be Zappa playing. The song is from the album "Cucamonga Years - The early years of Frank Zappa" (MSI 10037).
The Heartbreakers: Chicano (= Mexican origine) duet of brothers Benny and Joe Rodriguez, from Roosevelt High School in the Boyle Heights section of East Los Angeles, California. Best known for their 1963 hit single, "Cradle Rock" https://youtu.be/TL7Sk1rwqgk.

The source file - though in flac format - is not of the best quality, sorry. Has some cracky moments here and there...

EVERYTIME I SEE YOU

darling, I love you, I really do.
darling, I want you, let me be true.
I want to hold you

every time I see you

if you would love me, We'd never, never part
we would be lovers, heart unto heart

Darling, I want you, let me be true.
I want to hold you

every time I see you

On bended knees my love

Your time has come my love

Edit for headphones. This an extended edit - for the fade out of the single version is just way too short (shame on you, sound engineer!) - of the stereo album version (4.25) to have it sound like the single version (2.55). I removed the "hickup" error of the single's version at 2.35 where the engineer forgot to cut the last part of the word "well". (For that last part was just copied from the first part, I think.)

From their second album "The Second" (wonder where they got that idea from), released in 1968. The group wrote the song based on the bass line their bass player, Rushton Moreve, came up with. The only words he had written for it were, "I like my job, I like my baby." Lead singer John Kay wrote the rest of the lyrics. He got inspired when he put the demo tape in a home stereo system he bought with the royalties from their first album. That's where he came up with the line, "I like to dream, right between my sound machine."

John Kay: lead vocals, rhythm guitar (1967–1972; 1974–1976; 1980–present)
Michael Wilk: keyboards (1982–present)
Ron Hurst: drums (1984–present)
Danny Johnson: lead guitar, backing vocals (1996–present)
Rushton Moreve (born John Rushton Morey): bass guitar (1967–1968; 1978)
Gary Link: bass guitar (1982–1984; 2009–present)

MAGIC CARPET RIDE
(John Kay and Rushton Moreve)

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
on a cloud of sound I drift in the night
any place it goes is right
goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

well, you don't know what we can find
why don't you come with me little girl
on a magic carpet ride
you don't know what we can see
why don't you tell your dreams to me
fantasy will set you free
close your eyes girl, look inside girl
let the sound take you away

last night I held Aladdin's lamp
and so I wished that I could stay
before the thing could answer me
someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle's all I found

well, you don't know what we can find
why don't you come with me little girl
on a magic carpet ride
well, you don't know what we can see
why don't you tell your dreams to me
fantasy will set you free
close your eyes girl, look inside girl
let the sound take you away

don't know what we can find
why don't you come with me little girl
on a magic carpet ride
you don't know what we can see
why don't you tell your dreams to me
fantasy will set you free
close your eyes girl, look inside girl
let the sound take you away

Edit for headphones. Source file of this edit is the version of this song on the album "The Lovin' Spoonful Anthology" by Rhino Records.
"Pow!" was used as the opening theme of Woody Allen's first feature film, "What's Up, Tiger Lily"; the band also composed and played instrumental music for the film and appeared in some live performance sequences in the film, reportedly added during post-production without Allen's knowledge or consent. After that Allen decided to buy even bigger black glasses... bigger, blacker, stronger...

P O W !
(Joe Butler-John Sebastian-Steve Boone-Zal Yanovsky)

I've always been the guy with a finger in his nose
when the passport picture gets taken
when the big guys took me out stealin' chickens
it was me caught holdin' the bacon
when they're droppin' a piano from the 47th floor
I'm the guy underneath it lookin' up
and when the tidal wave strikes 100 miles at sea
I'm always at the rail throwin' up

whee, ker-pow!
somehow I would've met you anyhow
you fix it up and then, oh holy cow
you folks are gonna see me now

I was standing in an artsy fartsy uptown restaurant
a few frozen dinners ago
when I stumbled on a waiter full of crêpe suzettes
and I ran out the door flambeau
then I ran down to Chinatown got myself some soy sauce
and grabbed some moo goo gai pan to go
when I got wiped out by a stray beansprout
that was landin' on the floor

whee, ker-pow!
somehow I would've met you anyhow
you fix it up and then, oh holy cow
you folks are gonna see me now

well, I finally got so fed up I was off to blow my head off
with the gun in the cash box at the store
then I thought I'd grab a fistful just in case I weren't successful
but instead I got my tie caught in the drawer
when you're riding down the road at 100 miles an hour
and a guy's ahead hitchin' someplace
honey, don't you be surprised, I'll be wipin' out my eyes
as you pass me, leavin' dust in my face

whee, ker-pow!
somehow I would've met you anyhow
you fix it up and then, oh holy cow
you folks are gonna see me now

whee, ker-pow!
somehow I would've met you anyhow
you fix it up and then, oh holy cow
you folks are gonna see me now
 

edit 1a for headphones. this song is quite loud & massive on the album "exile on mainstreet" (this one's from the japanese mini lp remastered tocp-66452). well, it can be massiver, louder, brighter, bassier, happier...

this was the first stones song to chart with keith richards singing lead.
keith richards: "that's a strange song, because if you play it you actually become happy, even in the worst of circumstances [...]".

HAPPY
(jagger/richards)

well i never kept a dollar past sunset,
it always burned a hole in my pants.
never made a school mama happy,
never blew a second chance, oh no

i need a love to keep me happy,
i need a love to keep me happy.
baby, baby keep me happy.
baby, baby keep me happy.

always took candy from strangers,
didn't wanna get me no trade.
never want to be like papa,
working for the boss ev'ry night and day.

i need a love to keep me happy,
i need a love, baby won't ya keep me happy.
baby, won't ya keep me happy.
baby, please keep me

i need a love to keep me happy,
i need a love to keep me happy.
baby, baby keep me happy.
baby, baby keep me happy.

never got a flash out of cocktails,
when i got some flesh off the bone.
never got a lift out of lear jets,
when i can fly way back home.

i need a love to keep me happy,
i need a love to keep me happy.
baby, baby keep me happy.
baby, baby keep me happy.

NEVER COMES THE DAY
(Justin Hayward)

work away today work away tomorrow
never comes the day for my love and me
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away
if only you knew what's inside of me now
you wouldn't want to know me somehow
but
you will love me tonight
we alone will be alright
in the end

give just a little bit more
take a little bit less
from each other tonight
admit what you're feeling
and see what's in front of you
it's never out of your sight
you know it's true
we all know that it's true

work away today think about tomorrow
never comes the day for my love and me
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away
if only you knew what's inside of me now
you wouldn't want to know me somehow
but
you will love me tonight
we alone will be alright
in the end

give just a little bit more
take a little bit less
from each other tonight
admit what you're feeling
and see what's in front of you
it's never out of your sight
you know it's true
we all know that it's true

you know it's true (you know it's true)
we all know that it's true
(we all know that it's true)
you know it's true
we all know that it's true

(you know it's true)
give just a little bit more
(we all know that it's true)
take a little bit less
from each other tonight
(you know it's true)

admit what you're feeling
and see what's in front of you
(we all know that it's true)
it's never out of your sight
(you know it's true)
you know it's true

Of course, the video by lemmy caution is far better, with the excellent stereo edit by DoctorKmix.

STUPID GIRL
(Jagger/Richards)

I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she wears
look at that stupid girl
I'm not talking about the way she combs her hair
look at that stupid girl

the way she powders her nose
her vanity shows and it shows
she's the worst thing in this world
well, look at that stupid girl

I'm not talking about the way she digs for gold
look at that stupid girl
well, I'm talking about the way she grabs and holds
look at that stupid girl

the way she talks about someone else
that she don't even know herself
she's the sickest thing in this world
well, look at that stupid girl

well, I'm sick and tired
and I really have my doubts
I've tried and tried
but it never really works out

like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
look at that stupid girl
she bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
look at that stupid girl

it doesn't matter if she dyes her hair
or the color of the shoes she wears
she's the worst thing in this world
well, look at that stupid girl

shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up, shut-up
shut-up, shut-up, shut-up

like a lady in waiting to a virgin queen
look at that stupid girl
she bitches 'bout things that she's never seen
look at that stupid girl

she purrs like a pussycat
then she turns 'round and hisses back
she's the sickest thing in this world
look at that stupid girl

Edit for headphones, May 24, 2021.
Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman wrote the song together for Atlantic Records. It's a golden duo, with multiple nr.1 hits to their name.
In 1960/1961 the song charted #1 in Canada, Holland, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. #2 in the UK. #31 in Italy.
Musicians were Ben E. King (lead vocals), Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar), Allen Hanlon (guitar), Lloyd Trotman (bass) and Gary Chester (drums).

Behind the song, with an apparently "just romantic" message, there is a sweet, and somewhat sad story. While composing, Pomus thought back to his brother Raoul's wedding; during the reception, Doc was in a wheelchair, so dancing was out of the question for him. Doc Pomus suffered from polio. He used the experience to imagine a story between a man and a woman: she may dance with others, but the last dance is for her lover.

Ben E. King (September 28, 1938 - April 30, 2015) sang the lead in the song, one of his last with The Drifters: not long after he would start a solo career with songs like "Stand By Me" and "Spanish Harlem" as a result.

Doc Pomus (June 27, 1925 - March14, 1991) was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer in 1991, the Songwriters Hall of Fame (1992) and the Blues Hall of Fame. He was the son of Jewish immigrants. It was three years after his wedding to Willi Burke that Doc Pomus wrote this song. Willi was a tall and beautiful actress - quite a contrast to the rotund Pomus. They had a daughter together, prompting Pomus to focus on songwriting, which was much more stable and lucrative than singing. Their marriage fell apart in the mid-'60s, when they separated.

Mortimer Shuman (November 12, 1938 – November 2, 1991) was an American singer, pianist and songwriter, best known as co-writer of many 1960s rock and roll hits.
Shuman was born in Brooklyn, New York, of Polish Jewish immigrants and went to Abraham Lincoln High School, subsequently studying music at the New York Conservatory. He became a fan of R&B music and after he met Doc Pomus the two teamed up to compose for Aldon Music at offices in New York City's Brill Building. Their songwriting collaboration saw Pomus write the lyrics and Shuman the melody, although occasionally each worked on both. Their compositions would be recorded by artists such as Dion, The Flamingos, Andy Williams, Bobby Darin, Fabian, Ajda Pekkan, The Drifters and Elvis Presley, among others. Their most famous songs include "A Teenager in Love", "Turn Me Loose", "This Magic Moment", "Save The Last Dance For Me", "Little Sister", "Can't Get Used to Losing You", "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame", "Viva Las Vegas" and "Sweets for My Sweet".

Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller produced this song. Wow, what a bunch of great names we have here!

In a rare bonehead move by Atlantic Records' bosses Nesuhi Ertegun and Jerry Wexler they relegated this song to the B-side of another Pomus/Shuman composition called "Nobody But Me." It was Dick Clark who broke the song when he flipped the single and played "Save The Last Dance" on his show American Bandstand. The song gave The Drifters their only nr.1 hit.

This was the last song Leonard Cohen ever performed on his "Grand Tour" in Auckland, New Zealand, December 21, 2013.

SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
(Mort (Mortimer) Shuman & Doc Pomus (born Jerome Solon Felder)

you can dance every dance with the guy
who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight

you can smile every smile for the man
who held your hand beneath the pale moon light

but don't forget who's takin' you home
and in whose arms you're gonna be
so darling, save the last dance for me

mmm... oh I know that the music's fine
like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun

laugh and sing, but while we're apart
don't give your heart to anyone

but don't forget who's takin' you home
and in whose arms you're gonna be
so darling, save the last dance for me

mmm baby don't you know I love you so
can't you feel it when we touch
I will never, never let you go
I love you oh so much

you can dance, go and carry on
'til the night is gone
and it's time to go

if he asks if you're all alone
can he take you home, you must tell him no

'cause don't forget who's taking you home
and in whose arms you're gonna be
so darling save the last dance for me

'cause don't forget who's taking you home
and in whose arms you're gonna be
so darling, save the last dance for me
mmm... save the last dance for
mmm... save the last dance for
mmm...

Edit (take 1) for headphones. This is the first recording of "Not fade away", recorded in London, Regent Sound Studios, January 10, 1964. From cd 1 of the 1994 bootleg album "Black Box" by "Yellow Dog Records" (YD 046). The official release was recorded 25 days later, on Februari 4 that year, but this first one is a nice one too.

Harmonica: the one and only "no Jones, no Stones" Brian Jones. Guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Percussion: Brian Jones & Mick Jagger. Lead vocals: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

NOT FADE AWAY
(Norman Petty & Charles Hardin Holly, that is Buddy Holly)(Original performer: Buddy Holly in 1957.)

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away

My love bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it and you're drivin' me back
Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
Love is real and not fade away
Well love is real and not fade away

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
Love to last more than one day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Love, love is love and not fade away
Not fade away
Not fade away

Edit for headphones, December 2021. A song from the 1968 album "His Best - The Electric B.B. King" (2012 Japanese remaster UICY 94839)(with nine bonus tracks). This song was recorded on July 14, 1966, it has Duke Jethro on organ, Leo Lauchie on bass, Sonny Freeman on drums.

When you're married or living together with someone who tells you things like in this song, well, I suggest you search for professional help, for then you're in an abusive relationship and that man or woman needs to be dealt with...

This song charted number 2 in 1966 on the r&b charts... unbelievable what they tolerated in those days...

DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR
(James F. Johnson)

woman I don't wanna a soul
hangin' around my house when I'm not at home
oh I don't want a soul baby
hangin' around my house when I'm not at home
I don't want you to answer the door for nobody baby
oh when you're home and you know you're all alone

I don't want your sister coming by
because the little girl she talk too much
if she wanna come either visit us
tell her to meet us Sunday down at the church
'cause I don't want a soul baby
hangin' around my house when I'm not at home
yes I don't want you to answer the door for nobody baby
oh when you're home and you know you're all alone

if your mother wanna visit us
tell her I get home 'bout the break a day
and that's too late to visit anybody baby
so tell her to please stay away
'cause I don't want a soul baby
hangin' around my house when I'm not at home
yes I don't want you to open the door for anybody baby
oh when you're home and you know you're all alone

now if you feel a little sick baby
and you know you're home all alone
I don't want the doctor at my house baby
you just suffer till I get home
'cause I don't want a soul baby
hangin' around my house when I'm not at home
yes I don't want you to open the door for nobody baby
yeah when you're home all alone

Edit 3 for headphones. Bass as loud as possible & as pounding as can be. I think this is one of the swingingest songs ever. It is the first single of the Dire Straits; a Dutch (hurray for Holland!) record company heard the first release of the song and contracted the band. The song was re-recorded and re-released in 1978. The song also was on their debut album "Dire Straits". "Sultans of Swing" was re-issued again as a single in November 1988.

France: 36. Germany: 20. Belgium: 14. Italy: 12. New Zealand: 12. The Netherlands (Dutch Top 40): 11. UK: 8. Ireland: 6. Canada: 4. US: 4. South Africa: 3. So South Africa was the swingingest country!

And again, British radio morons at first didn't want to play it, for it was too long, just like they treated Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog". There must be a medical explanation for that attitude... anyway, globally all medical books need to be corrected: besides openings at our rears, a$$holes also are British radio executives...

SULTANS OF SWING
(Mark Knopfler)

you get a shiver in the dark, it's rainin' in the park but meantime
south of the river you stop and you hold everything
a band is blowing Dixie double four time
you feel alright when you hear the music ring

and now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
comin' in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
competition in other places, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
way on down south, way on down south in London town

you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
but it's strictly rhythm he doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
it's an old guitar is all he can afford, when he gets up under the lights to play his thing

and Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
he's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright
he can play the honky tonk like anything, savin' it up for Friday night
with the sultans... with the sultans of swing

and a crowd of young boys, they're foolin' around in the corner
drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
they don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band, it ain't what they call rock and roll
and the sultans... yeah the sultans played creole... creole

and then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
and says at last just as the time bell rings: "Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
and he makes it fast with one more thing: "we are the sultans... we are the sultans of swing"

Edit for headphones, October 2021. A song about love and who has to do the scrubbing, sewing, ironing, washing & cooking. Wow, that is an antique theme... so: antique images in the video. A song from cd 1 ("Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac") of the six cd box set "The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions 1967-1969" (1999 reissue).

Edit for headphones, November 2021. A song from the 1970 album "Accept". Stan Webb on acoustic and electric guitar, Paul Raymond on acoustic guitar, Andy Silvester bass, Dave Bidwell drums. This one was also released as a single. Didn't chart in the UK, just like their single "Sad Clown".
I extended the single for the sole reason that I chose too many pictures to fit the song and I didn't want to withhold the rest of it from you guys.

UNDER MY THUMB
(Jagger/Richards)

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb

Ain't it the truth babe?

Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways

It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright

Under my thumb
A Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah

It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright

Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else

It's down to me, oh that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright.

Say it's all...
Say it's all...

Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe.

Edit for headphones, August 2022. A song from the 1969 album "On The Threshold Of A Dream" (1994 Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab remaster UDCD 612). I think there's just a little too much "aaah" going on in this song, hence this edit.

LAZY DAY
(Ray Thomas)

lazy day Sunday afternoon
like to get your feet up watch TV
Sunday roast is something good to eat
must be lamb today 'cause beef was last week

so full up bursting at the seams
soon you'll start to nod off happy dreams
 (it's such a crying shame)
wake up for tea and buttered scones
 (week after week the same)
such a lot of work for you Sunday moms

today's heaven-sent and you're feeling content
'cause you worked all week long
still it's quite sad
tomorrow's so bad
I don't feel too strong

lazy day Sunday afternoon
like to get your feet up watch TV
 (that's how your life goes by)
Sunday roast is something good to eat
 (until the day you die)
now it's almost over till next week

BIG TIME
(Neil Young)

gonna leave the pain behind
gonna leave the fools in line
gonna take the magic potion

gettin' in an old black car
gonna take a ride so far
to the land of sun tan lotion

gonna take it state by state
til I hit the golden gate
get my feet wet in the ocean

I'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over
I'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over

walking on the bridge on day
lookin out across the bay
a'saw a rippling in the water

once a big ship had passed
I borrowed a traveler's glass
focused on the ocean's daughter

kind of like a wave confused
dancing in the sunset hews
she waved to me and called me over

I'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over
I'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over

talkin' bout a friend of mine
talkin' bout a gold mine
richest vein in any mountain

talkin' bout the enemy
inside of me
talkin' bout that youthful fountain

talkin' bout you and me
talkin' bout eternity
talkin' bout the big time

I'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over
I'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over

Edit 1 for headphones. Dubbed video. "The spider and the fly" was first released in 1965 on the lp "Out Of Our Heads". In the UK released as b-side to "Satisfaction". In my opinion, this song is far far far better than "Satisfaction". THIS should have been their great hit...
Source album of the edit: "Singles collection, the London years" Japanese mini lp remastered (uicy-93035/7).
Recorded May 12 & 13, 1965. Released on "Out Of Our Heads" in 1965. The last Nanker/Phelge track to be released.
Guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Lead vocals & harmonica: Mick Jagger. Drums: Charlie Watts. Bass: Bill Wyman. Keyboards & percussion: Jack Nitzsche

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY
(Nanker/Phelge)(Nanker/Phelge refers to a collaborative composition of Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and Ian Stewart) *

sittin', thinkin', sinkin', drinkin', wondering what I'd do when I'm through tonight
smoking, moping, maybe just hopin' some little girl will pass on by
don't wanna be alone, but I love my girl at home, I remember what she said
she said, "My, my, my don't tell lies, keep fidelity in your head
my my my, don't tell lies, when you're done you should go to bed
don't say hi, like a spider to a fly, jump right ahead and you're dead"

sit up, fed up, low down, go round, down to the bar at the place I'm at
sitting, drinking, supereficially thinking about the rinsed-out blonde on my left
then I said, "hi" like a spider to a fly, remebering what my little girl said

she was common, flirty, she looked about thirty
I would have run away but I was on my own
she told me later she's a machine operator
she said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said my, my, like the spider to the fly
jump right ahead in my web

When the Stones cut "Stoned" (or "Stones", according to early misprinted pressings) as the B-side to "I Wanna Be Your Man", Brian Jones suggested crediting it to Nanker/Phelge. The entire band would share writing royalties. Phelge came from Jimmy Phelge, a flatmate at Edith Grove, while a Nanker was a revolting face that the band members, Brian in particular, would pull.

Songs credited to Nanker Phelge (or sometimes just Phelge) are:
"Stoned" (Oct. 1963)
"Little by Little" (Feb. 1964)
"Andrew's Blues" (Feb. 1964) (officially unreleased, available on bootlegs)
"And Mr. Spector And Mr. Pitney Came Too" (Feb. 1964)(officially unreleased, available on bootlegs)
"Now I've Got a Witness" (Apr. 1964)
"Stewed and Keefed (Brian's Blues)" (Jun. 1964)
"2120 South Michigan Avenue"
and others

Marianne Faithfull in 1965
beautiful lady, beautiful song, a Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger & Keith Richards composition
are you also fed up with those screaming great talent show singers?
the louder, the better, the more cheers from the audience and a standing ovation from the jury?
to become a beloved star doesn't take shouting
it takes a good melody and a sweet voice, that's enough
yes, I'm totally fed up with todays talent shows...
