"Start Me Up"

Last updated 📅 2025-04-19

Start it up! Feel the electrifying power of The Rolling Stones' iconic 1981 hard rock anthem, "Start Me Up." Kicking off with Keith Richards' legendary guitar riff, this massive hit from Tattoo You became one of their most recognizable and enduring signature songs globally.

  • TITLE: Start Me Up
  • BAND: The Rolling Stones
  • GENRE: Hard Rock
  • OTHER: Cruisin Classic
  • RELEASEDAY: August 14
  • YEAR: 1981

Released as the lead single from their chart-topping 1981 album Tattoo You, "Start Me Up" revitalized The Rolling Stones' sound for the 80s. Originating from earlier sessions, its transformation into a driving hard rock powerhouse, fueled by that unforgettable riff and Mick Jagger's energetic vocals, proved irresistible.

Built on one of rock's greatest guitar hooks and propelled by Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman's solid groove, "Start Me Up" is pure rock and roll energy. This 1981 hard rock classic, boosted by early MTV play, remains a stadium-shaking anthem and a cornerstone of the Stones' vast catalog.

SONG MEANING: The song uses automotive metaphors ("Start me up," "Spread out the oil," "Lubricate") as thinly veiled double entendres for sexual arousal and intercourse. The lyrics express intense physical desire and boastful confidence ("You make a grown man cry," "You make a dead man come"), celebrating raw sexual energy.
