I've only heard it a few times, but I think all the people who say that it corrupts todays youth and is a song of satanism and worshipping the devil are stupid. It seems more to me like it's about mankind and goes by the philosophy they're naturally evil. It mentions some atrocities comitted by man. That's what I think it is. What do you think? |

Like several Stones songs, I ;ike the presentation and idea (the devil singing to you is pretty interesting...) but I just don't like the music. And as soon as the "woo woo!" part in the backrgound comes in I have to change it. I can't stand that noise. |

It's pretty cool live. But it's not the devil talking to you, it's a presentation on mankind and how they're naturally evil. Have you heard GnR's version. EDIT: I'll break it down line by line for you. |

Did you like it? I can't stand it. Bold=already broken down. Italics=the meaning Please allow me to introduce myself Im a man of wealth and taste All mankind is pursuing money and power, it's pretty natural. Ive been around for a long, long year Stole many a mans soul and faith Different religions, they would always try to convert each other. And I was round when jesus christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate One of mankinds biggest atrocities, openly crucifying Jesus. Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game What IS the meaning of life? I stuck around st. petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain October Revolution I rode a tank Held a generals rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank World War II Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah Again, we still don't know the meaning of life I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made I shouted out, Hundred Years War Who killed the kennedys? When after all It was you and me Mankind killed the Kennedy's, that's who. Let me please introduce myself Im a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached bombay I'm thinking another historical event, I'm not sure. To come later. Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But whats confusing you Is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me lucifer cause Im in need of some restraint No one is purely good or evil, everyone is a mix of both, and you need to control that. So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah You declare war on their empire, they will fight back. No one wants to surrender. Reigning power Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah! Tell me baby, whats my name Tell me honey, can ya guess my name Tell me baby, whats my name I tell you one time, youre to blame Ooo, who Ooo, who Ooo, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Oh, yeah Whats me name Tell me, baby, whats my name Tell me, sweetie, whats my name Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, who Oh, yeah Not much to say there. See? |

That's just my interpretation, a lot of people think it's satan speaking. Good song, though. |

Troubadours were 13th century musicians/poets/minstrels. As for Bombay, that's the name of a city in the US. In 1877, the town was devastated by a plague of grasshoppers, which consumed more than half of the field crops. Grasshoppers, one of the several Egyptian curses. Perhaps that has anything to do with it? I also found something else that is semi-interesting. As of the census of 2000, there were 1,192 people, 483 households, and 327 families residing in the town. The population density was 12.9/km˛ (33.3/mi˛). That's 66.6 divided by two. </Conspiracy Theory> |
