'We may return it to.' 

Keith Richards, who composed the tune with Jagger during a 1969 recording meeting at the celebrated Muscle Shoals studio in Alabama, said he was shocked by the new inconvenience about the verses, since it was consistently a bizarre anecdote about subjection, assault and sexual savagery. 

'I'm attempting to sort out with the sisters very where the hamburger is,' Richards, 77, said.

The melody was written quickly, and Jagger portrayed it as 'an exact moment thing'. 

'I never would compose that melody now,' he said. 

'I would presumably blue pencil myself. I'd figure, 'Goodness God, I can't. I must stop. I can't simply compose crude like that.' 

Drifters' fans have taken to Twitter to communicate their bothering that Brown Sugar has been eliminated from live shows, with some guaranteeing that it would have 'dropped' in any case.
