Sorry this video isn’t great quality. Treat yourself and just rewatch the whole episode on Netflix.

> [@Chefguy](#): > > **Start Me Up** , Rolling Stones; “She’d make a dead man come. . .” Not necessarily. The Stones might have been referencing blueswoman Lucille Bogan’s 1935 _Shave 'Em Dry_, which contained this subtle verse: _Got nipples on my titties ‘Bout big as the end of my thumb. I got somethin’ 'tween my legs That’ll make a dead man come_. which is clearly about intercourse. The Stones were greatly influenced by the blues. ---

The Stones were greatly influenced by the blues. I would question whether the Stones had heard this version of “Shave 'em Dry” when the vocal to “Start Me Up” was recorded in 1981. That was the final vocal; it’s possible that earlier versions had been recorded with this line already intact, as the song actually dates to 1975. In any case, there are two takes of “Shave 'em Dry.” The one that was released on 78 is bawdy, but not nearly as explicit as the alternate take. It’s highly unlikely that the alternate take would have been released commercially in any form at the time of its recording. I probably didn’t surface until quite some time later, when a compilation of Lucille Bogan’s complete recordings was released on LP or CD. But I’m not sure when that would have been. So maybe The Stones heard it, or maybe they just stumbled upon the same figure of speech as Bogan had in 1935. ---

It’s highly unlikely that the alternate take would have been released commercially in any form at the time of its recording. It certainly was. I had (and still have) it on an LP titled _Copulatin’ Blues_. Although there is no date on the LP itself, Google says it was released in 1976. ---
