> Good one. I got turned on to that song when I was listening to WBCN one day and the dj noted that the winner or high placer in the Miss America contest was named Amanda Jones, and then she proceeded to play the song.

To me, “Amanda Jones” refers to a group from Atlanta years ago. They won some sort of “Best Girl (?) Group” contest on Jenny Jones but didn’t otherwise do a lot. They did a nice cover the The Pogues _[Haunted](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QPL_YRen04)_.

Trying to search for stuff by/about them on music sites was always a problem because of the much more famous Stones song. FtG’s band naming tip #1: Make it the _only_ thing Google returns hits for.

Made me realize how unobscure mine really are. Such a body of work, I guess it’s all pretty known by someone.

I recently become a fan of [She’s A Rainbow](https://youtu.be/6c1BThu95d8) (NSFW artwork in video). But it just isn’t the same without Roy Kent racing to get to the stadium.

Slave and Memory Motel have been mentioned, I don’t see Worried About You from Tatto You. The latter two are in my Top 10 Stones songs. I think Memory Motel may be my all time favorite. Are there any other songs that have Mick and Keith on alternating lead vocals?

Salt of the Earth starts out with Keef singing, then Mick comes to his rescue.
