Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Saturday, 23 April 2022 is Under My Thumb.
"Under My Thumb" is a song recorded by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Under My Thumb" features a marimba played by Brian Jones. The lyrics are about revenge against an ex-lover. Although it was never released as a single in English-speaking countries, it is one of the band's more popular songs from the period and appears on several best-of compilations, such as Hot Rocks 1964–1971. It was included as the fourth track on both the American and United Kingdom versions of the band's 1966 studio album Aftermath.
The group frequently performed "Under My Thumb" on their 1981 US Tour and 1982 European tour as the opening number at each concert.
It was the song being performed by the group at the Altamont Free Concert in December 1969 during which the death of Meredith Hunter took place.
