I was a Radio Shack manager back in the early 80s when this song was a hit. My store shared a wall with a jewelry store. I had some stereos mounted against the wall and decided one night after closing to put this record on and crank up a stereo that had 80 watts per channel. Little did I know the large speakers connected to the stereo vibrated so much it set off the alarm in the jewelry store! Fortunately I was friends with the jewelry store owner and we laughed about it later. Good times.

The Stones dropped "Tattoo You" when I was in ninth grade. My buddies and I played the hell out of it. "Start Me Up", "Waiting On A Friend", "Hang Fire", "Slave", and "Little T&A" round out a great record. I remember thinking back then how strange it was that the bass player was older than my dad!

That's the secret of good rock and roll, grooves that are clean and simple, played by real people, warts and all, with the attitude and danger coming from the singer.

Love the stones. Saw the “steel wheels” tour and they opened with this song. Seen a lot of great bands in my life, but the Rolling Stones were just beyond anything I have ever seen. I was 10 feet from Keith Richards and could see his strings vibrating. I’ll never forget that concert for as long as I live. By the way, this song is all about getting it on. Everything about it. A lot of good “naughty” put into one great song.🎵🎵

Yeah I saw them on this tour in Boulder. Heart opened the show.

This album came out I was in 10th grade, When the Stones came to San Diego in October of 81 I was 16 and it was my first concert. The stadium opened the parking lot the night before. We partied all night and all the next day. What an introduction to a Rock and Roll show. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

1982 and the Stones had had one big hit after another for a remarkable 18 years! The first notes of this song will always get everyone out of their seats and onto the dance floor, guaranteed.

The Rolling Stones prime sticked around for a long time. Disco, blues, country, rock, pop, psychedelic, and they did it all at the highest level. Can’t go wrong with them

You really need to watch the official video to get some perspective. Love from Alabama. 🤘

One of the most recognized intro riffs to a Rock-n-Roll song ever. Iconic tune!

Well done, as always. Lex's impression of Jagger at 2:35 was truly unique. Best of wishes.

Recently found halls channel and loving it. It's fun to see others discover songs I've loved forever and helps me rediscover what I loved about them originally.

That ‘78 tour was the one to see! Short, sweet, and no frills. No horns, no backup singers, no props… just the Stones playing a rock & roll show. They had to perform, and they did! Check out anything from ‘’Some Girls’ Live In Texas ‘78’. My uncle worked for the Dallas radio station sponsoring the show, and said they got the band through the crowd outside in to the auditorium in the back of a Lone Star Beer truck. I was 13 years old and instead of the show I got a promo copy of ‘Some Girls’. I saw them in ‘81 in the pouring rain and they were tight in ‘89 at the Cotton Bowl and in 2006 in Austin. But I always wanted to see them in ‘78.

This song has been/is played at many sports games since it came out.

I've been listening to this song since the i was a kid and i never realized the last lyrics of the song were as - shall we say risqué - as they are. I was surprised at the ending as well. Thanks for your reaction - always great.

One of my favorites from the Stones, besides Honky Tonk Women. 👍🏼 The video for Start Me Up is pretty cool. “Waitin’ on a Friend” is another good song and video from the same album, Tattoo You.

That crazy unique bass line! This is real dance music!

Start Me Up is played in lots of sports venues just before kickoff, tipoff, faceoff, etc.

Brad, Lex: Great reaction as always. But really love your Rolling Stones reactions. Besides The Stones are great instrumentally, but your reactions to the Stones lyrics are priceless. There's a reason the Stones are still selling out stadiums today 60 years after they started. They're an amazing band. But how about (Monkey Man) next? A GREAT Stones rocker.

You'd enjoy "Miss You" it's a late 70s classic and Mick Jagger does a bit of spoken word in it too (the part where he's asking people, ' ch ch ch what's the matter with you boy?')

I think this song was used as the main theme for the Windows 95 launch back in ...er.. 1995. Love the hand clapping percussion.

Saw them in Cleveland in '81, they opened with this song. Place was dark, the opening riff rang out and flash pots went off...a cool opening

I saw The Rolling Stones, last monday, in Brussels for the first time. It was AMAZING !!!

Here is a wikipedia excerpt: In the beginning with the release of the Windows 95 operating system in 1995, the Microsoft company used the song for a marketing campaign. The ad highlighted the new Start menu, so the song fits the ad's theme. Microsoft's Brad Silverberg, who was responsible for Windows 95, negotiated the use of the song. He reports that negotiations with the heads of the Rolling Stones were difficult until the end. Mick Jagger was initially reluctant to license the song for artistic reasons. Facing the $3 million deal, Keith Richards persuaded him to back down, and Start Me Up became the first Rolling Stones song to be used in a commercial. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)

If the stones come to your area you two should go see them, you won't be sorry, they play hit after hit the whole show.

I love this song , It makes you want to get up and dance and you have to go and watch the official Video of him dancint to it and the band cutting up. The Mick Jaggar Dance. But love his voice and the great beat of this song and the flirtiness of a man to a woman in this song, this is how men talked in 70s and 80s , they knew how to flirt , not not the last line , maybe not last Line, LOL , that one a little father than flirting

The line 'make a dead man come' is taken from the blues song 'Shave 'em dry' by Lucille Bogan from 1935!

I'm a metal head but always listened to the stones

Love the Stones. Check out "She's so Cold". Heavily influenced by the blues, but have some great ballads. Mick jagger is the ultimate frontman. Great performer.

Oooh! My favourite to dance to! 👏🏻👏🏻😍

"That was quite the ending" 😂🤣

Absolute classic Pity you didn’t react to the music video, very cool with Mick and the boys hamming it up

That’s a “Happy Ending.”

The base line is killer!

This always reminds me of Windows 95 and my first Intel Pentium. Happy days.

This was the theme song for WINDOWS 95! Microsoft paid $3Million to use this for the kickoff of Windows.

Yep, He went there

Literally the universal reaction to that last lyric. It's like wait, what did he say? Does that mean what I thought it meant?

Reminds me of my Knucklehead chopper. Jockey shift, left foot clutch, open 3" drive belt, hard tail, hand formed polished steel seat, no gages. And kick start of course. Grown men cried for sure when they saw my ride.

Iconic - I was privileged to be in the audience at the Isle of Wight festival in 2007 and saw them perform 'Start Me Up'. I was stood left of the runway, and it was awesome! There are videos of the 2007 Isle of Wight Festival on KZread. Before seeing them 'live' at the Isle of Wight festival, I always considered myself to be more of a Beatles fan, watching them perform live and the energy they created changed my mind - they were just amazing. As an extra bit of info, Amy Winehouse was there too, her set earlier in the afternoon was OK, but a little flat and lacklustre. She joined the Rolling Stones at the end of their set, and she came alive. Amy singing and performing with Mick Jagger is something I'll always remember.

I can't believe you guys just now got to Start Me Up. That should have been one of the very first Stones songs you did.

I like the whole album with this song. Tattoo You from Start Me Up to Waiting on a Friend and between. Rock on Brad & Lex

I've been podcasting 60s rooted music for 10 years plus. This was the very first song from the very first podcast.

From the last great album the Stones made. Try "Waiting on a Friend" and "Little T&A" from the same album.

That was funky kick ass rock n roll.Lex is so cute.

Mick Jagger has 8 kids from age 50 something to age 5. We gotta give a shoutout to ole Mick because the man has loved women of all colors and always taken care and raised all his kids, even now in his 70s's

This was the song the radio station in Richmond, Virginia used to notify people that Rolling Stones tickets had just opened up for sale for their 2-3 shows at the Hampton Coliseum in 1981/82. I believe tickets were around $12-$15 bucks a piece :) I raced up to the record store and bought tickets for their very last show of the tour. The show was festival seating (no seating on the floor....just open standing). The Hampton Coliseum is a 12,000 seat arena so compared to some of the other venues the Stones played at during that tour (80,000 seat football stadiums), this was a nice small venue with great views. We got about 20 feet from the stage and Mick floated over the crowd in a cherry picker. It was a great show.....opened up with "Under My Thumb". The previous days show was actually a birthday show for Keith Richards.....it was broadcast live on the local PBS television station. In fact, I think there is video of that show here on youtube. What is really interesting is that I bought tickets for their very last show of that tour thinking they might break up and that we would never see another show from the Rolling Stones ever again....LOL. Jump to 2022, 40 years later, and the Stones are still touring!

I love The Rolling Stones. As Robin Williams said, if there’s another apocalypse, all that will be left are bacteria, some cockroaches, and Keith Richards.

The original bad boys. Mick's moves are so much more fun to watch while listening to their music. 👍❤🤙

Watching this with Cliff Richard on the TV on mute in the background is a surreal experience.

One of their best songs, maybe only second to "Brown Sugar" their best song on their best album "Sticky Fingers."

Not sure but I believe this was the Stones last big hit song. There may be others later, but this is the last one that really stands out. Early 80's, Rock and Roll.

This song was the last track on the Some Girls album and was cut last minute. Actually forgotten fir a few years. Stones needed a filler song for the Tattoo You album. Keith remember (yes brain cells working) and the song was added--Thank God!!

Mick's father was a schoolteacher. Mick attended the prestigious London School Of Economics.

There's so many great Stone's numbers.

Brad, write down Emotional Rescue. It's one of The Stones' well-known songs from the 1980 era.

It's from an lp. They were musicians. Then filmmakers eventually got hip and used their stuff.

The stones are untouchable
