In 1967, The Rolling Stones released their last album to receive different versions in the U.S. and UK. That record, Between the Buttons, continued their move away from R&B infused rock and toward the more experimental sounds of their peers.
That means a little Beatles here, a little Kinks there, a little Dylan on today’s SOTD, and a generally more fussed-over sound than they were known for.
The result is an album that’s sometimes great and sometimes a bit too cute for its own good. Highlights of both versions include the elegant ‘She Smiled Sweetly,’ the jaunty ‘Yesterday’s Papers,’ and ‘Who’s Been Sleeping Here?’
The UK version has one leg up on the U.S. release in the inclusion of ‘Back Street Girl,’ a lovely bit of baroque acoustic pop. I’m not sure why that one was left off across the pond.
What the States got in return, however, was the one-two punch of hit singles ‘Let’s Spend the Night Together’ and ‘Ruby Tuesday.’ Those classics elevate the U.S. version of this album to must-have status.
What you say, girl? You see, what is wrong?
You must be joking, you was led along
But the butler, the baker, the laughing cavalier
Will tell me now who’s been sleeping here
I want to know
Tell me, baby, who’s been sleeping?
[Verse 2]
What you say, girl? Who’d you see that night?
I, I was doing, doing something right
Oh the soldier, the sailor, and then there’s the three musketeers
Yes, they’ll tell me now who’s been sleeping here
Did I ever tell you I want to know?
Hey baby, who’s been sleeping?
[Verse 3]
Don’t you look like, like a Goldilocks?
There must be somewhere, somewhere you can stop
Yes, there’s the noseless old newsboy, the old British brigadier
But you’ll tell me now, who’s been sleeping here
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Who’s been eating, eating off my plate?
Who will tell me? Who’ll investigate?
There’s the sergeants, the soldiers, the cruel old grenadier
But they’ll tell me now who’s been sleeping here
[Outro]
‘Cause I want to know
Who’s been sleeping right here
Was it your mummy, your daddy?
Who’s been sleeping here?
Was it your auntie, your uncle?
Who’s been sleeping here?
Was it your boyfriend, your girlfriend?
Who’s been sleeping here?
All right
Who’s been sleeping here?

It’s interesting that the Stones were really more imitators than innovators throughout their career, yet, ultimately they did develop a sound and style that was distinctly their own.
