Come On
I can't hear any problems with this song, a nice punk-pastische if you listens to the chords...4/5 Being on 'Dirty Work' it would have been the second best tune...

It's easier said than done to describe this one...
Let me put it this way, the Kinks did a lovely Sleepwalker, Spin Doctors did a passable Two Princes some 15 years later - and then the Stones released Stealing My Heart 10 years after... Hm..

I would have liked to buy a vinyl maxi-single with the four songs, though.

What have those songs got to do with Stealing My Heart Dandy?

More like a pop-ified garage-thing, lifted from the songs I mentioned above

Yeah, it would be nice to have a good look at Mick and Keiths collection of Kinks and Spin Doctor records...

You'd be surprised.
Let's start with the base for Connection

Stealing is alright when it is done with an inspiration, like with "Two Princes", or like what The Pretenders once did to "Empty Heart" or The Verve to "The Last Time" (countless other examples), but "Stealing My Heart" is something else... Usually the thing is to update an old idea to fit to current sounds, but the Stones just try to sound fresh and current by updating their old sound to fit to 'new' ideas, and (this time) they fail.

As far as I can remember Party Line is played on the off beat while Connection is very much on the on beat. Both are jaunty and up tempo but the only connection I can hear is the word 'connection' itself in the second verse of Party Line.
Wish I had a more direct connection.
This party line was here when I arrived.
And I'm not voting in the next election,
If they don't do something about finding out
The person who is on my party line.

Absolutely. Trying to sound "contemporary" with an obsolete-sounding song is nothing but off the mark from Mick, imo
In fairness, there are some ok passages in SMH, but the overall impression of trying to be something you're not is obscuring thoses moments, unfortunately...
