@Thornburywitch @useless_modern_god A few more songs to compare.

Here's the Rolling Stones' debut single, Come On: https://youtu.be/_iAQVGOzj4M?si=G4aXaHDYxsNccU-B

Which was a cover of Come On by Chuck Berry: https://youtu.be/JgW6s8FPm_w?si=pu6K0qOb-_IBiyqg

Here's Can't Catch Me by The Rolling Stones: https://youtu.be/IK5gnx__M1M?si=NP61dxgx1oJLMd_0

And Can't Catch Me by Chuck Berry https://youtu.be/9jKrHzps0XM?si=2H9Wbjy4NhousbTk

(Just as an aside, John Lennon was a fan of that one too, apparently. Note the second verse begins "Here come a flattop, he was movin' up with me". Lennon borrowed that line for Come Together and got a lawsuit for his efforts.)

Rolling Stones, Sweet Little Sixteen: https://youtu.be/n-tYCwzTrrU?si=DDynnP4-MzxshiLp

And the Chuck Berry original: https://youtu.be/ZLV4NGpoy_E?si=xysXmQVLaih_w01A

(The Beach Boys liked that one — just listen to Surfin' USA sometime. They got sued for their efforts.)

One more Chuck Berry songs for reference:

Now. Here's some of the lyrics from You can't always get what you want by the Stones.

"I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And, man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy"

Notice the African American vernacular.

How many British people have you met who go around talking about drugstores?

Mick's basically going the full Iggy Azalea here trying to capture the lyrical style and delivery of Chuck Berry.

To my ears there's a clear line that goes from the jump blues ( https://youtu.be/YhELpSeeipg?si=EYK0bdIx_hOhDss7 ) and artists like Big Joe Turner: https://youtu.be/YhELpSeeipg?si=JYqKpLB_jauoYsVL

To Chuck Berry in the '50s, to the Rolling Stones in the '60s.
