"Tumblin' Dice" Rolling Stones

Things are different when there is a new Rolling Stones single on the radio. There’s a sense of anticipation with good odds. The Stones really are the only band left that makes history, and makes you feel like you’re in the midst of it. Somehow, they leave their mark on the events around them. Usually, they do it without even trying.

“Tumblin’ Dice” is their first throw-away hit single. If you analyze it critically, it’s terrible. If you listen to it, it’s great. It makes noise, that’s about all it does. Something like “Good Golly Miss Molly.” There are no lyrics, none you can really hear anyway, which is obviously the point. “Mmmmmmmmmaybe ur cn gt rt, ho bun ta b st rt, All the crammin dcs g wd, as s (as s) BAYBAY! BAYBAY!” The Stones do not include their lyrics with their albums.
