Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Rip This Joint. By Songfacts®.

Mick Jagger's vocals were mixed low and slurred. They contain some obscenities and sexual references, but they are very hard to understand.

The "Butter Queen" is a reference to a famous groupie known as "Barbara the Butter Queen." Her real name was Barbara Cope, and she would do her thing when bands came through Dallas. She was very proficient, and had a killer gimmick: she would use a stick of butter when servicing the rock stars and crew. The butter supposedly made her activity smell like movie theater popcorn.

This was recorded during all-night jam sessions at Keith Richards' villa in the South of France. The band rented houses in the area and used Keith's basement as a studio.
