"Do The Hip Shake, Babe"

Montreux, maj 1972. The Rolling Stones prøver kræfter med Slim Harpo´s ’Shake Your Hips’. Sangen er fra albummet ’Exile On Main Street’, som bandet indspillede i Keith Richards hus Nellcôte ved Den franske Riviera. I et interview fra 1995, huskede Jagger processen således:

“We were just winging it. Staying up all night…Stoned on something; one thing or another. So I don’t think it was particularly pleasant. I didn’t have a very good time. It was this communal thing where you don’t know whether you’re recording or living or having dinner; you don’t know when you’re gonna play, when you’re gonna sing - very difficult. Too many hangers-on. I went with the flow, and the album got made. These things have a certain energy, and there’s a certain flow to it, and it got impossible. Everyone was so out of it. And the engineers, the producers - all the people that were supposed to be organized - were more disorganized than anybody”
