Legends SHELVED "THROWAWAY" Song for 6 Years...in 1981-It STOLE #1 for 13 WEEKS | Professor of Rock

Coming up, we’re taking a deep dive into one of the most recognizable songs of the rock era from one of the most storied and long-tenured bands of the rock era… Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones… The band actually first wrote it as a reggae song, a pretty big risk for a bunch of white guys.. even though this song came from later in their catalog, it was a smashing success, just missing out on that #1 spot… a coveted prize they would never achieve again. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards first wrote it in the mid-1970s and then a few years later they did even more takes. More than 70. One was a rock and roll take… Years later an associate producer was looking through the vaults and took found the one take they did that was a rock version and the band released it off of the 1981 album Tatoo You…becoming a classic. Which begs an interesting question, was this song their last stand? Was it their last gasp for mainstream music relevancy? Or is chart success overrated? Let’s find out.

So, it’s time for another edition of #1 in Our Hearts. This show honors songs that were so spectacular…So great, they definitely should've been #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. But for whatever reason, be it insufficient radio play, lack of marketing or label support, the song came up short.

Today we are taking a closer look at a song that came up just short of that coveted top spot… from a band with one of the longest and most storied careers in rock history. It’s Start Me Up from the Rolling Stones’ 1982 record Tattoo You. You know, the Rolling Stones are stacked when it comes to chart-dominating singles… Since 1964 the Stones have had 30 Top 20 hits, 23 Top 10 hits, and a slew of Hot 100 #1’s and near misses… Their list of #1’s includes I Can’t Get No (Satisfaction), Get Off of My Cloud, Paint it Black, Ruby Tuesday, Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar, Angie, and Miss You. Near misses included the #2 ‘19th Nervous Breakdown’, as well as #3’s Jumpin Jack Flash and Emotional Rescue. And today’s song, Start Me Up, was another one of those near misses… reaching #2 on the Hot 100.
