Full article:
Keith Richards (guitarist, Rolling Stones) : Get Off My Cloud was basically a response to people knocking on our door asking us for the follow up to Satisfaction, which was such an enormous hit worldwide. This, to us, was mind-blowing. I mean not only was it a No1 record but, boom! We thought, 'At last. We can sit back and maybe think about events.' Suddenly there's the knock at the door and of course what came out of that was Get Off Of My Cloud. Because within three weeks, in those days hey, they want another single. And we weren't quite ready for that. So it was our response to the knock at the door: Get off of my cloud. And I'm surprised that it did so well. I mean it has a certain charm but I really remember it as a knee-jerk reaction. And it came out better than I thought.
Mick Jagger (vocalist, Rolling Stones): That was Keith's melody and my lyrics. It's a stop-bugging-me, post-teenage-alienation song. The grown-up world was a very ordered society in the '60s, and I was coming out of it. America was even more ordered than anywhere else. I found it was a very restrictive society in thought and behaviour and dress.
