I never liked the song in the first place, but to me, it's a really tragic song despite anything because the Rolling Stones managed to get all money and royalties and even credits and awards (yes, they actually stood up to steal the award at an award show) given to them for a song they had nothing to do with.

The Verve thought they had the rights to the riff from another song, the Stones claimed it sounded too much like the original riff from one of their songs. The Stones get everything from it.

It's absolutely ridiculous and even though I dislike both bands, I really fomented a deep digust at the Rolling Stones for that act.
