The Rolling Stones' twelfth US single, "Mother's Little Helper" spent nine weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 8, and it reached No. 4 on both Record World and Cash Box's charts. Though American fans generally found "Mother's Little Helper" lacking when compared to the band's previous singles, contemporary reviewers described the song in favourable terms. The first pop song to address middle-class drug dependency, it helped to establish the band's reputation for cultural subversion. Retrospective commentators have described it as an early example of the Rolling Stones' developing sound and suggestive of Jagger's later songwriting. They have often compared the song's sound and lyrics to the contemporary work of Ray Davies, especially the Kinks' 1965 song "A Well Respected Man", and have typically interpreted its lyrics as either admonishing the older generation for their hypocrisy in critiquing recreational drug use, or as a social commentary on housewives who found their lives unfulfilling.

  • Mother's Little Helper är en låt av gruppen The Rolling Stones 1966. Låten skrevs av Mick Jagger och Keith Richards. Den handlar om ett mörkare perspektiv av användning av lugnande medel bland hemmafruar. Det riff som är en av byggstenarna i låten, och låter ungefär som en sitar, är spelat på en starkt komprimerad 12-strängad elgitarr med "slide". Låten spelades in 3-8 december 1965. Den släpptes först på albumet Aftermath i Storbritannien den 15 april 1966 och sedan i USA den 20 juni 1966. Låten släpptes i USA först som singel den 2 juli 1966. I Storbritannien gavs den inte ut som singel, men däremot i flera andra länder i Europa. (sv)

  • Musicologist Walter Everett describes the flattened major second chord heard at "calm her " as "ostentatious". Later reinterpreted as a flattened major seventh, the chord gives the song a modal and thereby Indian feel. (en)

  • Just what was this problem that has no name? What were the words women used when they tried to express it? Sometimes a woman would say "I feel empty somehow... incomplete." Or she would say, "I feel as if I don't exist." Sometimes she blotted out the feeling with a tranquilizer. (en)
  • That's a twelve-string [guitar] with a slide on it. It's played slightly Oriental-ish. The track just needed something to make it twang. Otherwise, the song was quite vaudeville in a way. I wanted to add some nice bite to it. (en)
