"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by English rock band The Rolling Stones, released as a single in 1968.
Called "supernatural Delta blues by way of Swinging London" by Rolling Stone, the song was perceived by some as the band's return to their blues roots after the psychedelia of their preceding albums Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request.
One of the group's most popular and recognisable songs, it has been featured in many films and on the Rolling Stones compilation albums Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2), Hot Rocks, Singles Collection and Forty Licks.

In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Jumpin' Jack Flash" at number 2 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
In 2004, Rolling Stone rated the song 124th on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
VH1 placed it at 65 on its show 100 Greatest Rock Songs.

Inspiration and recording

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, recording on "Jumpin' Jack Flash" began during the Beggars Banquet sessions of 1968.
Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while staying at Richards' country house, where they were awoken one morning by the sound of gardener Jack Dyer walking past the window.
When Jagger asked what the noise was, Richards responded: "Oh, that's Jack -- that's jumpin' Jack."
The rest of the lyrics evolved from there.
Humanities scholar Camille Paglia speculated that the song's lyrics might have been partly inspired by William Blake's poem "The Mental Traveller": "She binds iron thorns around his head / And pierces both his hands and feet / And cuts his heart out of his side / To make it feel both cold & heat."

Use in film

The song was also featured in Martin Scorsese's film Mean Streets (1973),
in Ron Howard's Night Shift
and at the end of Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

In 2009, the song was included in the film The Boat That Rocked.

The song was Jack Wilson's walk-up song during his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Cover versions

In 1986, the song's title was used for the Whoopi Goldberg film Jumpin' Jack Flash.
In addition to the Rolling Stones' version of the song, the film features Aretha Franklin's cover version for which Ronnie Wood and Richards played guitar.
Both The Rolling Stones' and Franklin's versions are on the film's original soundtrack recording.

Leon Russell performed the song to kick off his medley at The Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden in 1971.
Russell's cover is included in the benefit concert's various music and video releases. Jagger/Richards waived song royalties in contribution to the event's significant humanitarian fundraising.

Tina Turner included her version of the song in her 2008--2009 Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour setlist, alongside another Rolling Stones song, "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)". She had previously performed this medley during her 1982 tour.

Peter Frampton released a version of the song on his first studio album, Wind of Change, and also on his 1976 live album, Frampton Comes Alive!
