Love the song. And I believe it may be the only Stones track that I ever heard before it was released, as the demo version is on the Black & Blue Sessions bootleg, which I bought probably about a month before Tattoo You came out.

(Can't remember if I owned bootleg version of So Young before it was released, so that is another possible track I heard beforehand)

Let's get one thing straight here (and I don't mind jokes or being funny at all, mind you). What I commented on was this statement:

«correct me if I’m wrong, no girlie singing (meaning falsetto - my comment) since Tattoo You»

Well, here's the correction.

And Marco, the lead vocal is also singing falsetto in places on FOB.

There are more falsetto singing on the track, but I didn't have time to mash everything together

Yes, that are definitely examples of falsetto. And it almost proves Swayed's point in a way: Feel On Baby is one of the best songs on Undercover, as is Tie You Up (Pain of Love) (which has falsetto too, I just checked). So, maybe falsetto really is the way to go.

I don't disagree with his point, either.

However, Winning Ugly also has falsetto...

Well, it's actually the least bad song of the bad songs on DW, but I see your point. Does Sweet Neocon have falsetto? I really don't want to check.

Keys To Your Love also has falsetto, and I actually like that tune. For me, it's a nice soul tune, with great singing from Mick and lovely subtle playing from Keith

Biggest Mistake is falsetto-ish at the beginning.

Undercover (Of The Night) also has falsetto.

I'm only aware of one Worried About You (non-live) official release. Where are these others from?

They are most likely all the same take, just with different overdubs and rough mixes done for listening.

The Virgin release of WANNA HOLD YOU has an extra couplet the Atlantic release didn't have ("...an offer you can't refuse.") Is this like that? Anyone, anyone?

That's just a different edit.

You are correct that the songs you've mentioned (although I can not speak for that shitty Winning Ugly since it's DELETED from my music player) have falsetto in them but I thought you were meaning as the lead vocal ie Emotional Rescue and Worried About You.

The only song that comes to mind that he's done a lead vocal with falsetto since Worried About You is Sweet Thing.

Brilliant song - marvellous rendition Perth #1 14 On Fire!

This is the first show after L'wrens death, correct? Personally, I did not care for this 'Worried'. It almost seemed like MJ chose to sing this song to prove something; that he could do it. It seemed tough for him, and Keith and Ronnie seemed worried (pun). Struggle and a push. Plus he looked too thin.
Much prefer healthy sassy feeling good Jagger.

I am amending my slight critique of Perth #1 2014 live version of
'Worried About You' (can't post a link, not available USA)
I wrote MJ looked 'too thin' not true, as the first show of these mini tours finds Jagger beefed up from training (like)
It was 'too vulnerable'
As for falsetto after 'Tattoo You'
eh, sorry to say, it hasn't moved me.
'Laugh I Nearly Died' moved me for a night first time thru,
but I don't go back to anything 'newly written and recorded studio' from RS for more listens with the exception of 'Plundered'

I never liked that tune. It just didn't move me at all.

The first show after L'Wren's death was in Oslo. Worried About You was played there as well.

And my review of it stays the same, even if you were in the audience ;-)
And he was too thin. No good food there? ;-).

Blimey. Do you realize how confident a man has to be in his own skin, to get up in front of tens of thousands of people and sing falsetto? I don't know of too many other rock stars who have done that. Can't think of any at the moment, in fact.

Drew

Apparently, it's easy for some.. Prince and Curtis Mayfield come to mind.

RIGHT. Exactly. Jagger is King. And Drew, you are a true wordsmith.

Mick looked a bit worn out after the tragedy, but who wouldn't??

What a trooper he is, and what a performance he gave in Oslo! Without him, the show would have been below mediocre. He saved it, and he was obviously ready to get his mind occupied with live music

Actually, I think singing falsetto is much easier than singing high notes with a normal voice (which is a completely different technique).

He he, I don't know why I thought there was a paranthesis in that one

No songs have a lead vocal all the way with falsetto. Both Biggest Mistake and Keys To Your Love start with falsetto, though?

It is more than merely singing falsetto. He hollers, laments, shrills in it, too.
Takes it up and down with range and force.
I'm going to stop gushing about Jagger here.
(I'll save it for 'Totally Stripped')
'Worried About You'
just might be my favorite song of all time.

@35love

Thank you so much for the kind words; you made me blush!

True, but ER and WAY are the only 2 Stones songs that feature falsetto as the lead vocal.

Yeah, those woo's in Biggest Mistake... Keys To Your Love. You mean that garbage from FORTY LICKS? I refuse to listen to that song (and the other one, whatever it's called). But yes, it has falsetto.

The bizarrely parenthetical Undercover (Of The Night) is from the sheet music, and if you look at it right it says Under Cover (Of The Night).

What???????????
Keys To Your Love "garbage"?????

It´s great and Mick´s vocals are outstanding. A marvelous souly track I love to listen to.

Edit: The other song you do not remember must be "Stealing My Heart". Just listened to it - very good song.

I knew I'd seen it somewhere

What's garbage about KTYL, btw? I like it!

What does "done up in lace done up in rubber" mean?

Ah see you knew what I meant despite my fat thumbs typing wrong.... Nicely done. So this is the thread for discussing "undercover"? I like the new approach of disguising topics by giving them titles unrelated to the discussion ;-)

Brian Wilson?

"No Anchovies, Please"

Forget about listing other Stones songs with falsetto. Worried about you is dominated by it and it ruins the song. There was no reason for it.

Why would I want to hear a man sing like a little girl.
