Edit 1b (version 3) for headphones, June 2020/March 2024. Dubbed video. This is the "crisp" version 1, but WITHOUT güïro (ratchet-like sound). The official first version was on a single, together with "Fortune Teller", but the single was withdrawn, so only a few hundred copies exist. Released January 1964 on an EP that also had "Bye Bye Johnny", "Money" and "You Better Move On" on it. Pity it was withdrawn, for this "Brian's" version sure is the best. This version 3 however is the take of the first version, but WITHOUT güïro, and it is on the bootleg "No Stone Unturned + 7 bonus". Label: CD-Maximum. Catalogue number: CDM 1202-1063/28.
I don't know which one was on the withdrawn single. This version 3 or version 1.
I have a feeling that this 2.33 version was too long for the British dj's in those backward British dj days... (version 2 is a 2.05 thing)(and 28 seconds is life threatening too long, we (British moron dj's) all know that!).
First recorded on August 18, 1963, this take was suppose to be released as the follow-up single to "Come On", but it never happened. It was released in the UK on the album "Saturday Club" in Jan, 1964. Re-recorded November 14, 1963 and released in the UK on the EP "The Rolling Stones", on Jan 10, 1964. Released in the US on "More Hot Rocks 2", in 1972.
Electric guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Background vocals: Brian Jones (also vocal harmony), Mick Jagger & Bill Wyman. Lead vocals & güïro: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.
In this video Brian is playing one of the two brand new edition Gibson guitars he and Keith were given while in Chicago at the Chess studio in 1964. Brian seemed to like it but Keith stayed with the Les Pauls. (Sorry, I forgot who told me this.)
POISON IVY
(Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller)
she comes on like a rose, and everybody knows
she'll get you in Dutch*, you can look but you'd better not touch
poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around
she's pretty as a daisy, but look out man she's crazy
she'll really do you in, if you let her get under your skin
poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around
measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
a common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you
but poison ivy's gonna make you itch
you're gonna need an ocean, of calamine lotion
you'll be scratching like a hound, the minute you start to mess around
poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around
measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
a common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you
but poison ivy's gonna make you itch
you're gonna need an ocean, of calamine lotion
you'll be scratching like a hound, the minute you start to mess around
poison ivy, poison ivy
well late at night when you're sleeping
poison ivy comes a creeping all around
la la la la, la la la la
la la la la, la la la la
* "she'll get you in Dutch" means: she'll get you in trouble
