Song identification: Rolling Stones circa 1972

May 13, 2013 2:31 PM

See inside for a link that goes to a NSFW Youtube video.

It is a song that appears around the 82 minute mark of the 1972 documentary Cocksucker Blues.

Please note the documentary shows a lot of very questionable activities. Some of it was allegedly staged in order to be shocking but some of it is probably real.

With that said, here is a queued up link: SONG. I already tried reading all of the associated comments but no answers were given.

Thanks for any help in identifying this song.

Here is a fanclub message board post about that song, though no one seems to offer a solid answer.

Here's a subtitle transcription of a show where apparently the same song appears (possibly an edit from the movie, since the timestamps don't match up):

PIANO PLAYS POIGNANTLY
# It's funny, funny, funny, funny, funny...
# It's funny, honey
# It's funny
# It's funny
Funny.
# Ain't it nice to go on a Sunday afternoon?
# Watching all the children in their Sunday suits
# Thinking 'bout the times I had when I was just a baby
# Wondering if I would ever feel that kind of cold
# You know it's funny... #

So, no help with the title, but that might get you closer.

As I read it, the song is called "Fragile," and it's definitely an outtake. Kind of hard to find. I'm looking around for some site that has it.

This bootleg appears to have the track on it. But I'm a little wary of the download pages in that forum post.

Response by poster: Thanks for these answers.

I think DeWalt_Russ is going in the right direction but that link's links did not solve my dilemma (for various reasons).

So I am leaving this open, and will search the internet again in six months to see if "Fragile" turns up.

Again, tough question but thanks for these leads.
