Linda Ronstadt isn’t the only woman to cover a song by the Rolling StonesBette Midler recorded “Beast of Burden” in 1984 – her music video for the song includes a cameo by Mick Jagger playing a somewhat exaggerated version of himself (if that’s possible).  Here is a sample of the lyrics in “Beast of Burden:

 

     I’ll never be your beast of burden

     My back is broad but it’s a hurting

     All I want is for you to make love to me

 

     I’ll never be your beast of burden

     I’ve walked for miles my feet are hurting

     All I want is for you to make love to me

 

     Am I hard enough

     Am I rough enough

     Am I rich enough

     I’m not too blind to see
