WXRT in Chicago had 1986 for its flashback year on Saturday morning and played "One Hit (To the Body)" by the Rolling Stones. I'm sure "Dirty Work" is properly disdained (the band's Miami Vice-esque wardrobe on the cover photo is probably a dead giveaway), but I've always kind of liked the song. Perhaps it has something to do with the otherwise engaged Jagger having little input - Ron Wood came up with the song and opening acoustic intro (and even got songwriting co-credit unlike Mick Taylor), Jimmy Page provided the guitar solo, Kirsty MacColl and Bobby Womack are on backing vocals, and Russell Mulcahy directed the video. I know it didn't chart highly, but someone must have liked it because I think it made the top 10 of DC 101's year-end countdown.
