"'''Jumpin' Jack Flash'''" is a song by the English [[rock music|rock]] band [[the Rolling Stones]], released as a non-album single in 1968. Called "supernatural [[Delta blues]] by way of [[Swinging London]]" by ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine,<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Jumpin' Jack Flash |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6595969/jumpin_jack_flash |url-status=dead |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=9 December 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223145921/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6595969/jumpin_jack_flash |archive-date=23 December 2007}}</ref> the song was seen as the band's return to their [[blues]] roots after the [[baroque pop]] and [[psychedelic music|psychedelia]] heard on their preceding albums ''[[Aftermath (The Rolling Stones album)|Aftermath]]'' (1966) (which did feature some blues songs), ''[[Between the Buttons]]'' (1967) and especially ''[[Their Satanic Majesties Request]]'' (1967).<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web |last1=Unterberger |first1=Richie |title="Jumpin' Jack Flash" – The Rolling Stones |url=https://www.allmusic.com/song/jumpin-jack-flash-mt0005242009 |publisher=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=6 May 2021 }}</ref><ref name=pc54 /> One of the group's most popular and recognisable songs, it has been featured in films and covered by numerous performers, notably [[Thelma Houston]], [[Aretha Franklin]], [[Tina Turner]], [[Peter Frampton]], [[Johnny Winter]], [[Leon Russell]] and [[Alex Chilton]]. To date, it is the band's most-performed song; they have played it over 1,100 times in concert.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Rolling Stones Tour Statistics |website=setlist.fm |url=https://www.setlist.fm/stats/the-rolling-stones-bd6ad22.html |access-date=13 October 2017 |archive-date=14 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014083620/https://www.setlist.fm/stats/the-rolling-stones-bd6ad22.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

One of the band’s most popular songs, it was ranked number 144 on ''[[Rolling Stone]]''{{'}}s "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time|The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time]]" list in 2021.

==Inspiration and recording==
Written by [[Mick Jagger]] and [[Keith Richards]],{{sfn|Rice|1982|p=117}} recording on "Jumpin' Jack Flash" began during the ''[[Beggars Banquet]]'' sessions of 1968. Regarding the song's distinctive sound, guitarist Richards has said:

{{blockquote|I used a [[Gibson Hummingbird]] acoustic tuned to [[Open D tuning|open D]], six string. Open D or open E, which is the same thing – same intervals – but it would be slackened down some for D. Then there was a [[Capo (musical device)|capo]] on it, to get that really tight sound. And there was another guitar over the top of that, but tuned to [[Nashville tuning (high strung)|Nashville tuning]]. I learned that from somebody in [[George Jones]]' band in San Antonio in 1964. The high-strung guitar was an acoustic, too. Both acoustics were put through a Philips cassette recorder. Just jam the mic right in the guitar and play it back through an extension speaker.<ref name="tioos-jjf">{{cite web |last=McPherson |first=Ian |title=Track Talk: Jumpin' Jack Flash |url=http://www.timeisonourside.com/SOJumpin.html |access-date=22 June 2007 |archive-date=2 July 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702220036/http://www.timeisonourside.com/SOJumpin.html |url-status=live }}</ref>}}

Richards has stated that he and Jagger wrote the lyrics while staying at Richards' country house, when they were awoken one morning by the clumping footsteps of his gardener Jack Dyer walking past the window. Surprised, Jagger asked what it was, and Richards responded: "Oh, that's Jack – that's jumpin' Jack." The lyrics evolved from there.<ref name="tioos-jjf" /><ref name="fourflicks">{{cite video |people=The Rolling Stones |title=Four Flicks |medium=DVD |publisher=Warner Music Vision |date=2003}}</ref> Humanities scholar [[Camille Paglia]]<ref>{{cite book|last=Paglia|first=Camille|author-link=Camille Paglia|year=1991|title=[[Sexual Personae|Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson]]|location=New York|publisher=Vintage Books|isbn=0-679-73579-8|page=281}}</ref> 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." The main riff is similar to their song "[[(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction]]".

Jagger said in a 1995 interview with ''Rolling Stone'' that the song arose "out of all the acid of ''Satanic Majesties''. It's about having a hard time and getting out. Just a metaphor for getting out of all the acid things."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Wenner |first=Jann S. |author-link=Jann Wenner |date=14 December 1995 |title=Jagger Remembers: Mick's most comprehensive interview ever |magazine=Rolling Stone |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/mick_jagger_remembers/page/2/ |access-date=26 October 2017 |archive-date=5 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091205203421/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/mick_jagger_remembers/page/2 |url-status=dead }}</ref> And in a 1968 interview, Brian Jones described it as "getting back to ... the funky, essential essence" following the psychedelia of ''Their Satanic Majesties Request''.<ref name=pc54>{{Pop Chronicles |54| 2|Mick Jagger & Brian Jones}}</ref>

In his autobiography ''Stone Alone'', [[Bill Wyman]] has said that he came up with the song's distinctive main guitar riff, working on it with [[Brian Jones]] and [[Charlie Watts]] before it was ultimately credited to Jagger and Richards.{{sfn|Egan|2013|p=119}} In ''Rolling with the Stones'', Wyman credits Jagger with vocals, Richards with guitar and bass guitar, Jones with guitar, Watts with drums and himself with organ on the track with producer Jimmy Miller adding backing vocals.

According to the book ''Keith Richards: The Biography'' by [[Victor Bockris]], the line "I was born in a crossfire hurricane", was written by Richards, and refers to his being born amid the bombing and air raid sirens of [[Dartford]], England, in 1943 during World War II.

Two [[Music video|promotional videos]] were made that May: one of a live performance and another of the band lip syncing in makeup.

==Release and aftermath==
Released on 24 May 1968 in the UK by [[Decca Records]] and on 31 May in the US by [[London Records]],{{efn|UK: DECCA F 12782; US: LONDON 908{{sfn|Aeppli|1985|p=123}}}} "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (backed with "Child of the Moon") was the band's first UK release in five and a half months – this marked the group's longest gap between releases in the country up to that point.{{sfn|Aeppli|1985|p=123}}{{sfn|Egan|2013|p=118}} A major commercial success, it reached the top of the [[UK Singles Chart]] and peaked at number three in the United States.{{sfn|Rice|1982|p=117}}{{sfn|Egan|2013|p=118}} It topped the US ''[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cashbox]]'' chart for one week<ref name="Cashbox">{{cite book |last=Hoffmann |first=Frank |title=The Cash Box Singles Charts, 1950–1981 |publisher=The Scarecrow Press, Inc |location=Metuchen, NJ / London |year=1983 |page=500}}</ref> and the [[WLS (AM)|WLS]] 890 Hit Parade for four weeks.<ref>{{cite web |title=WLS 890 Hit Parade |url=http://www.oldiesloon.com/il/wls070168.htm |date=1968-07-01 |access-date=2019-11-02 |archive-date=3 November 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191103045750/http://www.oldiesloon.com/il/wls070168.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Some early London Records US pressings and Decca single in the UK of the single had a technical flaw in them: at about 2:10 about halfway through the song's instrumental [[Bridge (music)|bridge]], the speed of the master tape slows down for a moment, before coming back to speed. The first Rolling Stones album on which the song appeared was their 1969 compilation album, ''[[Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)]]'', one year after the single was released. Since then, it has appeared on numerous other Stones compilations, including ''[[Hot Rocks 1964–1971]]'' (1971), ''[[Rolled Gold: The Very Best of the Rolling Stones]]'' (1975), ''[[Singles Collection: The London Years]]'' (1989), ''[[Forty Licks]]'' (2002), ''[[GRRR!]]'' (2012), and ''Stray Cats'', a collection of singles and rarities included as part of ''[[The Rolling Stones in Mono]]'' box set (2016).

The Rolling Stones have played "Jumpin' Jack Flash" during every tour since its release. It is the song the band have played in concert most frequently,<ref name="ggsetlists">{{cite web |last=Galbraith |first=Gary |title=The Rocks Off Rolling Stones Setlists Page |url=http://rocksoff.org/gazzassetlists.htm |access-date=8 August 2008 |archive-date=29 July 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080729060957/http://rocksoff.org/gazzassetlists.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="nzentgraf">{{cite web |last=Zentgraf |first=Nico |title=The Complete Works of the Rolling Stones 1962–2008 |url=http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm |access-date=7 August 2008 |archive-date=20 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320065519/http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> and has appeared on the concert albums ''[[Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert|Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!]]'' (recorded 1969, released 1970), ''[[Love You Live]]'' (recorded 1976, released 1977), ''[[Flashpoint (album)|Flashpoint]]'' (recorded 1990, released 1991), ''[[Shine a Light (The Rolling Stones album)|Shine a Light]]'' (recorded 2006, released 2008), ''[[Hyde Park Live]]'' (2013), ''[[Stripped (The Rolling Stones album)#Totally Stripped|Totally Stripped]]'' (recorded 1995, released 2016), and ''[[The Rolling Stones: Havana Moon|Havana Moon]]'' (2016), as well as, notably, ''[[The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (album)|The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus]]'' (recorded 1968, released 1996), featuring the only released live performance of the song with [[Brian Jones]]. Unlike most of that show, Jones is heard clearly, mixing with Richards's lead throughout the song. The intro is not usually played in concert and instead the song begins with the main riff. The open E or open D tuning of the rhythm guitar on the studio recording has also not been replicated in concert (with the possible exception of the 1968 [[NME]] awards show, no recording of which has ever surfaced). In the performance filmed for ''[[The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus]]'' in December 1968, Richards used standard tuning; and ever since the band's appearance at [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]] on 5 July 1969, he has played it in [[open G tuning]] with a [[Capo (musical device)|capo]] on the fourth fret. Richards is particularly fond of the song's main riff, often crediting it as his favorite among all of his most revered guitar riffs.

In March 2005, ''[[Q magazine|Q]]'' magazine placed "Jumpin' Jack Flash" at number 2 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. [[VH1]] placed it at number 65 in its show ''100 Greatest Rock Songs''.<ref name="vh1">{{cite web |title=100 Greatest Songs of Rock & Roll (80–61) |publisher=VH1 |url=http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/the_greatest/62158/episode_about.jhtml |access-date=9 March 2008 |archive-date=21 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071021033016/http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/the_greatest/62158/episode_about.jhtml |url-status=dead }}</ref>
