If I remember correctly, the Rolling Stones were known for being explicit and dirty.

But then again, this is coming from the corporate powers that be who owns this song. - mle1, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0really? this seems like a waste of everyones time. saying this song is an "altered version" of the stones song is a definitely a stretch
