 Atlantic Records attempted to persuade the band to drop the song from the record, but Jagger maintained the song was intended as a parody of racist attitudes, saying "I've always said, you can't take a joke, it's too fucking bad".The line "Black girls just wanna get fucked all night" drew strong protests from various groups, including Jesse Jackson's PUSH, which sought a boycott of the song on black-oriented radio.The album cover for "Some Girls" was conceived and designed by Peter Corriston, who would design the next three album covers, with illustrations by Hubert Kretzschmar.
