I never found this song as bad a starter for a new groupin the early 60s as it is always described. Though it is no classic I always enjoyed listening to it, really.

Completely agree. I always read that the Stones were not happy with it, but I like it.

Having added up the times I’ve listened to the Stones version (at least a hundred times in the last 35 years) and compared it to the times I’ve listened to Chuck’s version (once, just yesterday in fact) it occurs to me that I’m a moron and possibly a racist. (The math doesn’t lie. I encourage the rest of you to do your own reckoning.)
Of course this only means that from now on I’ll listen to the Stones as much if not more than ever...

A slap happy tune in a novelty kind of way, I always liked it and brings back memories of listening to More Hot Rocks.
But it's always had an overall outdated poppy vibe since I first heard it, and needless to say Chuck's version is better - even though it's nowhere near one of his best.

Do people find Chuck's version better? I always thought his version was a bit lame, especially the chorus.
At least, the Stones's take has some drive to it.

I certainly do, even with Chuck's breakup guitar solo.
But I also like the Stones version, although I think I Wanna Be Your Man (talking only about their singles released in 1963) is far better.
