"Bitch" is a song by English rock and roll band the Rolling Stones off of their 1971 album Sticky Fingers.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Bitch" was recorded at London's Olympic Studios and the Rolling Stones Mobile at Stargroves during October of 1970. The "bitch" of the title does not refer to a specific woman like many believe, but rather love in general with Jagger singing of the frustrations love brings into his life:
| Yeah when you call my name I salivate like a Pavlov dog. Yeah when you lay me out my heart is beating louder than a big bass drum, alright. |
The song is noted for its bombastic use of brass. Stones regulars Bobby Keys and Jim Price played saxophone and trumpet on the track, respectively. Percussion was performed by Stones producer Jimmy Miller.
