When:
Short story:
Get Off Of My Cloud by The Rolling Stones reaches No1 in the UK singles chart, where it will remain for three-weeks.
Full article:
Keith Richards (guitarist, Rolling Stones) : Get Off Of My Cloud was basically a response to people knocking on our door asking us for the follow up to Satisfaction. Satisfaction was such an enormous hit worldwide. This, to us, was mind-blowing. I mean not only was it a number one 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.
Mick Jagger (vocalist, Rolling Stones) : Get Off Of My Cloud 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.
