Well you never heard it on mainstream radio in the 70s right up to today but at parties back then we played the Rolling Stones Star Star and sang along loudly to it. :)
Oh Lord, that song was/is terribly naughty. The Stones were so raunchy, I don’t see how they got some of these songs on their albums. I realize they muddled it somewhat but I could tell clearly what they were saying from the first time I heard that song.
A lot of people don’t notice or pay attention to lyrics, until pointed out to them.
I fully expect Brown Sugar to be one of the first Stones songs to soon be banned from radios once articles like this spread the knowledge of what’s in it.
