What was the name of this song?

[Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin']

What's the song that plays at the end of the movie "Interview With A Vampire"? :confused:

I know the lyrics go something like this "Pleased to meet you, Now can you guess my name?" (I think so it was satan).

It's a good tune, although the lyrics are none to ideal for a real church-goer.

Sympathy for the devil??

[Auburn Annie]

Here are the lyrics (from the Rolling Stones' 1968 album Beggars Banquet):

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Whats me name
Tell me, baby, whats my name
Tell me, sweetie, whats my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

I used to like that song a lot but over 25 years later,when it comes on the radio,I change the station. :rolleyes:

That song was also used in the opening of an episode ofthe short lived ABC series,"Street Hawk". (Ah....anyone recall that??! :eek: ) LOL!

Personally,I'm just kinda tired of the Stones,they were here in concert this month but,I had another show to attend. ;)

[Shutup and Deal, I'm Losin']

Yep. That's the one. Thanks for the info everyone.

I like the remade version they play at the end of Interview With A Vampire much better than the original which always comes on at the gym. The main reason I like that version better is they don't do that "Ooh who" thing as much. :rolleyes:

I still like the Stones but like mostly the rare underplayed stuff.

[joveski]

guns n roses did it back in the 90s... maybe that was the re-made version

[formerlylavender]

Affair...I agree about the underplayed stuff. So many of the "hits" are played to death on the radio.

There are some real gems to discover and enjoy with the Stones too.

[Borderstone]

They're not "glorifying" evil Touhy,it's about all the evil that humanity does to eachother out of their own weaknesses and misguided ambition,hatered & prejudices. Not to mention just their flat out ignorance.

The devil is the one usually blamed for the evil that humans do and in the song that's what he/it represents.

All things mentioned in the song could have all been avoided if those responsible used the "free will" God gave them all & also just plain common sense. :rolleyes:

I have to say though,not long after the Stones did this song,the stabbing at their 1969 Altmont concert took place. :eek:
This can be witnessed in the documentary,"Gimmie Shelter".
