Rolling Stones forget their words
By Bottleblondesurfer
08 October 2007

I read this in the papers and sniggered. I’m not a Stones fan so had to google the songs. If you need to do the same to get the joke, try www.mattsmusicpage.com  

Keith Richards recently admitted that just because he wrote the songs doesn’t mean he remembers them so  the band have decided to change the lyrics and titles to make them more relevant to their present state to help them remember . So they will now be singing.

OK, any more from you guys?

Very clever, as is all your work. I particularly liked I Can't Get No Sanatogen, and Paint it Beige.

Yes a clever piece. 
I don't know much of the Stone's work so had to have a look at the link.

Street Fighting Gran? Maybe Jagger could recreate that mythical, magic moment with Marianne Faithful, but using a Werther's Original and a pair of knitting needles... Some nice ones here, I hadn't realised Mick now needs autocue, just forgets his contacts...

It was "Midnight rambler [no change] " that made me snort with laughter. Yes, wicked and funny.

Some good ones here. Partlicularly liked 'Let’s spend the night in traction'.  
 
The best I could think of was 'Memory Loss Motel'.

Heheh... Last saw a brilliant movie online which misinterpreted the (indeed rather incomprehensible) lyrics from several Nightwish songs. 
Should be a good joke if the Stones actually did this. How long would it take for people to notice it?

Wonderfully funny - thank heavens for that blue box.  
Really laughed at this Jane. 
 
How about 'Start Me Up' (no change) ? 
 
Enjoyed 
 
Cheers
