HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR MOTHER, BABY, STANDING IN THE SHADOW?
“Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?” is a song by English Rock band the Rolling Stones. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was recorded in the late summer of 1966 during early sessions for what would become their Between the Buttons album. It was the first Stones’ single to be released simultaneously (23 September 1966) in both the UK and the US, and reached number five and number nine on those countries’ charts, respectively.

Other fun songs that the Rolling Stones put out in the same period include “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?” (the photo of the band in drag that was on the 45 cover has to be seen to be believed) and “Mother’s Little Helper” – this song was a reminder that it wasn’t just the kids who were often on drugs.
