"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by The Rolling Stones, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and released as a single on May 24, 1968. It was recorded during the Beggars Banquet sessions, but not included on the album. Its distinctive guitar riff was coined by Bill Wyman, who was however not credited for it. The B-side to both the US and UK single was "Child of the Moon (rmk)"
It is a nickname of Scottish politician Jack McConnell. There is also a movie called Jumpin' Jack Flash starring Whoopi Goldberg that involves the song.
