Respectable

About this video

“Punk meets Chuck Berry” wrote Mick about Respectable, and a punk influence certainly looms over the track’s speedy tempo and the grimy white set in this video. The song pokes fun at how ‘respectable’ the band felt they were becoming, and the video confirms this.

Playfully aggressive, the band bounce around to Mick’s cheeky lyrics ("You’re the easiest lay on the White House lawn") and Bill Wyman’s driving bassline, before smashing guitars through the walls and crashing onto a filthy-looking bed.
