Paint It Black
In 1995, Jagger said "Paint It Black" was a "kind of Turkish song". James E. Perone, a music professor, has said that the rhythm and music from the sitar on the song sound more Middle Eastern than Indian. The end of the song has acoustic guitar music played by Richards. Many music critics have said "Paint It Black" is raga rock or psychedelic rock. Perone said the song was very different from the rest of their music. Most of their other music is blues and rock-and-roll. Other songs on Aftermath, such as "Stupid Girl" and "Lady Jane", were also different.
