Let It Bleed, by the Rolling Stones.
The odds are good, the first time I purchased a cassette tape of this album, it was for Sympathy For The Devil. Like, very good odds on that one. But I fell in love with the whole thing, especially Gimme Shelter. This was one of those late ’80s tapes, where you only figured out a couple years later when it came out on CD that the songs were not in the original order. Who in their right mind would put Midnight Rambler as the opening track of this thing?
Anyway, idk why I thought about this song today, but it’s the least SFW thing on the list yet, I think. I did not fully get all the lyrics as a kid, but I knew it was a little dirty. (In the context of, say, As Nasty As They Wanna Be, this was very irrelevant to my upbringing.)

After my crack about Dylan doing every song in E with a capo, here are the Stones finding a way to take a super standard A-D-E progression and drop it into C instead. It was kinda easy to play some pian-ee on it as a result.
