The 'Brown Sugar' Drinking Game: Shout When Mick Struts

There’s a fan-created drinking game that centers on Mick Jagger’s signature stage move—the exaggerated, pigeon-toed strut he’s done since the early ’70s. Every time Mick breaks into that cocky, duck-walk-like shuffle, players have to shout “Brown Sugar!” and take a drink.

The game likely started among hardcore bootleg collectors in the ’80s, who noticed Mick would hit that strut at least once per song during the golden era. It’s less a formal rulebook and more a campfire tradition—but try playing it through Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! without losing your buzz.
