It's about having a hard time and getting out. Jagger said in a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone that the song arose "out of all the acid of Satanic Majesties. Humanities scholar Camille Paglia speculated that the song's lyrics might have been partly inspired by William Blake's poem " The Mental Traveller": "She binds iron thorns around his head / And pierces both his hands and feet / And cuts his heart out of his side / To make it feel both cold & heat." Surprised, Jagger asked what it was, and Richards responded: "Oh, that's Jack – that's jumpin' Jack." The lyrics evolved from there. Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while staying at Richards' country house, when they were awoken one morning by the clumping footsteps of his gardener Jack Dyer walking past the window. Just jam the mic right in the guitar and play it back through an extension speaker. Both acoustics were put through a Philips cassette recorder. The high-strung guitar was an acoustic, too. I learned that from somebody in George Jones' band in San Antonio in 1964. And there was another guitar over the top of that, but tuned to Nashville tuning. Then there was a capo on it, to get that really tight sound.
Open D or open E, which is the same thing – same intervals – but it would be slackened down some for D. I used a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic tuned to open D, six string.
Regarding the song's distinctive sound, guitarist Richards has said: Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, recording on "Jumpin' Jack Flash" began during the Beggars Banquet sessions of 1968.
It is also, according to Acclaimed Music, the 77th-best-ranked song on critics' all-time lists. It is one of their most popular songs, and it is on Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. To date, it is the band's most-performed song: they have played it over 1,100 times in concert. One of the group's most popular and recognisable songs, it has featured in films and been covered by numerous performers, notably Thelma Houston, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Peter Frampton, Johnny Winter, Leon Russell and Alex Chilton. Called "supernatural Delta blues by way of Swinging London" by Rolling Stone magazine, the song was perceived by some as the band's return to their blues roots after the baroque pop and psychedelia heard on their preceding albums Aftermath (1966), Between the Buttons (1967) and especially Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967).
" Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released as a non-album single in 1968. One of A-side labels of the original UK single
