Get Off of My Cloud


"Get Off of My Cloud" is a rock track by The Rolling Stones, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as a follow-up to "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Recorded at RCA Studios in Hollywood in September 1965, it topped the charts in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany. For electric guitar players, the song offers a solid study in the raw, rhythm-driven style that defined the Stones' mid-1960s sound, making it a rewarding piece for players exploring classic British Invasion rock.

  • The song was written specifically as the next single after the massive commercial success of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."
  • Recorded at RCA Studios in Hollywood, California, the track reflects the Stones' use of American studio resources during their mid-1960s tours.
  • "Get Off of My Cloud" reached number one in four major markets, including the US and UK, cementing its place in Rolling Stones history.
