"Something Happened to Me Yesterday" is a closing track to English rock and roll band the Rolling Stones' 1967 album Between the Buttons.
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Something Happened to Me Yesterday" is called by Matthew Greenwald in his review of the song "one [of] the most accurate songs about LSD."[1] Writing with a "combination of social commentary, personal insight, and a strong sense of comedy," the lyrics paint a hazy picture of an LSD trip from the perspective of the following day;
Someone says there's something more to pay, For sins that you committed yesterday. It's really rather drippy but something oh so trippy. Something happened to me yesterday
He don't know if it's right or wrong. Maybe he should tell someone. He's not sure just what it was, Or if it's against the law
On the song, Jagger said at the time of its release, "I leave it to the individual imagination as to what happened."[2] The most distinct portion of the song is the ending, where Jagger, using spoken word, gives this send of;
Well thank you very much and now I think it's time for us all to go. So from all of us to all of you, not forgetting the boys in the band and our producer Reg Thorpe, we'd like to say God bless. So if you're out tonight, don't forget, if you're on your bike, wear white. Evening all.
On the ending, Jagger said, "The ending is something I remember hearing on the BBC as the bombs dropped."[2]
