Sung in the first person from the point of view of Lucifer, “Sympathy for the Devil,” which was originally titled “The Devil is My Name,” is one of the biggest all-time hits for the legendary band the Rolling Stones. The song’s title and lyrics caused a media stir, as well as fallout from parents, who felt that the band was promoting Satanism and corrupting the youth at the time. Though the song was told from Lucifer’s standpoint, the lyrics reflect many of mankind’s atrocities, including the Kennedy assassinations, the original lyrics were changed at the last minute from “Who Killed Kennedy” to “Who Killed the Kennedy’s” after Robert Kennedy was murdered at the same time as the song’s recording session.

Though the song talks about a “bar-room queen in Memphis,” the song was originally written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in Sao Paulo, Brazil while they were on vacation there in December and January of 1968-1969. As well, the song’s lyrics appeared in two different forms early on in its life, and the scene for the song’s narrative moved from Memphis to Jackson, before settling on Memphis in the most famous version of the song that we still hear on the radio today.
