It's the Rolling Stones in their Motown-esque phase.
The Stones were steeped in the Blues, and in Blues tradition songs about male/female relationship weren't meant to be taken literally but were metaphoric for slave-driver/worker. If the Stones wrote the song today it would be metaphoric about Brexit.
The song reminds me of Seinfeld skit, or vice a versa.

That's an interesting perspective. And you're right that calling the stones classic rock, especially at this period, is not very accurate
