eMusic are a big bunch of fucking cocksuckers!
I know just the Stones song to drown away those blues.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My copy of Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones arrived in the mail today. I've given it a skim, mostly just select songs. I think the CD originally came out in '97 or something.
Anyway, some of the compositions are okay, and others not so much. Paint it Black is redone with slow, somber, Middle Eastern style strings. It's pretty, but doesn't work as well as I wish it did. Sympathy for the Devil is recast as an operatic number, and comes out super-goofy. Gimme Shelter is, like Paint it Black, slowed in tempo considerably for the orchestration, but it comes out powerful and sad.
Of all the arrangements on the CD I've listened to, however, Jumpin' Jack Flash (the composition I bought the entire CD for, based on a 30 second clip) is BY FAR the best arrangement on the CD. It is the most awesomely ASS KICKING orchestral piece you have ever heard. It's really kind of funny that, of all possible Stones tunes, that one winds up translating into classical music so well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is surprisingly adaptable. I really like the sitar version by Ananda Shankar. It's a headswirling groover.

More ass-kicking than this? I think not. (feel free to skip ahead to 1:43 in)

Jon's frisky this morning. He wants to start a Kiss/Stones orchestral fight.
For comparison purposes, I will post JJF to B-rawk later tonight.

Jon, are you judging the music by the make-up?
I have not listened to other, I have no opinion
