The Rolling Stones -- "Sway"
Mick Jaggers' conscience catching up with him?  Does he have one?  I think he must, but it must only rarely have reared its head.

Supposedly, there is no Keith Richards playing on this song, just the two Micks: Jagger on rhythm and Taylor on lead.  The rhythm track isn't in one of Richards' characteristic open tunings, I think.  This gives the song a pretty distinctive sound: Stonesy but not Stonesy.  Mick Taylor gets a little carried away at the end, but I can forgive him for that.
