Sticky Fingers is the ninth studio album (eleventh American album) by The Rolling Stones, released in 1971. The album is notable for its cover art, designed by painter Andy Warhol. Historically, it is important for being the first release on Rolling Stone Records, and completing the transition between the Stones' Jones era and Taylor era, which was first coming to fruition on their previous album Let It Bleed. Hits and fan favorites include "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses", "Sway", "Dead Flowers", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "Bitch", and "Sister Morphine". | |

Black Gal on White Guy Drama | |
| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_2dcb1d2e | comment |
Black Gal on White Guy Drama: "Brown Sugar". It was written with Mick Jagger's secret girlfriend, Marsha Hunt in mind, who was also the mother of his first child Karis. The song describes a black girl of slave origin who is described as "brown sugar, tasting good as a black girl should". | |

Sex Slave | |
| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_362461f6 | comment |
Sex Slave: "Brown Sugar" is about the rape of slaves in the antebellum Deep South — all to an incongruously upbeat tune that makes the whole song even more disturbing. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The Stones evidently intended "Dead Flowers" to sound like a drunken singalong, which it definitely does. Quite a contrast to the album's other country song, "Wild Horses", which is played completely sincerely. | |

| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_61d6784f | comment |
Misogyny Song: "Brown Sugar", about a black woman who apparently was of slave origin too. "Bitch" is often thought to be one, also because it's about a woman, but its title actually comes from this line, making it much more of an Anti-Love Song: | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: Reportedly, "Wild horses couldn't drag me away" were the first words Marianne Faithfull spoke after recovering from a near-fatal heroin overdose. ("Horse" is a slang term for heroin.) However, although it is sometimes interpreted as a Break Up Song, Jagger himself has said, "Everyone always says it was written about Marianne, but I don't think it was; that was all well over by then." | |

Improv | |

Improv: Reportedly, the entire second half of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" was made up on the spot. Mick Taylor said he "just felt like carrying on playing" when everyone was putting their instruments down, but the other musicians liked what he was playing and picked up their instruments again. According to Richards, they didn't even know the tape was still rolling until later. It resulted in one of the most acclaimed songs on the album. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Bitch" has the line "I salivate like a Pavlov dog", which is a reference to the experiments of Ivan Pavlov who tested conditioned reflexes, by ringing a bell every time the dogs were fed. At a certain point, ringing the bell was enough to make the dogs salivate, even when there was no food given to them. | |

Cover Version | |
| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: "You Gotta Move", a negro spiritual song—most famously covered by Mississippi Fred McDowell and Gary Davis in 1965. "Sister Morphine" is technically a cover too, since Marianne Faithfull released her version in 1969, although since the songwriting is credited to Faithfull/Jagger/Richards, this is something of a Zig-Zagged Trope. Faithfull's version isn't that well known, not at all helped by Decca Records withdrawing the UK single it was pressed on due to the drug reference in its title after only about 500 copies had been pressed. (It remained in print in some other countries, however.) | |

| Sticky Fingers (Music) / int_fa77309d | comment |
Alternate Album Cover: The normal artwork used for the album features the crotch of jeans close up. On the original release, the zipper worked and would expose briefs. Later releases would not use the working zipper, such as the Mobile Fidelity Half Speed Master, which used a shiny embossing to represent the missing zipper. In Spain, the Franco Regime censored the artwork so it was replaced with a can of treacle with a hand reaching out of it. | |
