Wild Thing was by far the heaviest song played on top 40 AM radio which is all we had. Then you'd buy the 45 and play it smooth

I could have gone with half the songs here. Paint it Black is relatively easy to play but is where the genius of Mick and Keith really started to emerge.

If we're going best song it is "For What It's Worth"
