The Rolling Stones' valium song. In the mid sixties the Stones turned their attention to social commentary on various aspects of the growing baby boom become adult phenomenon. "Mother's Little Helper" was set to a great little riff and to lyrics which, part from condemnation of the song title, were delivered with little or no contempt for the phenomenon itself. This song is often overlooked among the Stones great tracks of the sixties, partly because the subject matter was regarded as too controversial for the times when it was issued. But lest we forget, when considering what the Stones have now become, they were back then very much seen as an anti-establishment force which would bring down society as we know it.
