With all due respect to Mick Jagger?

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" was originally released on the B-side of "Honky Tonk Women" in July 1969. Although it did not chart at the time, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" later reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973. One of the Stones' most popular recordings, it has since appeared on the compilations Hot Rocks, Singles Collection, Forty Licks, Rolled Gold+: The Very Best of the Rolling Stones (2007 edition), Singles 1968-1971 (single version), and Slow Rollers.
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" is very popular at Rolling Stones shows due to the sing-along chorus, and is played at almost every show (where it is custom for Jagger to change the lyrics from "my favourite flavour, cherry red" to the question "What's your favourite flavour?" to which the audience replies "Cherry red"). Live recordings appear on the albums Love You Live, Flashpoint, Live Licks, and The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus recorded in 1968.
