Written by
Mick Jagger andKeith Richards , "Parachute Woman" is a slowblues song and is one of the famous "Beggars Banquet" songs recorded on a cassette player and double-tracked for effect.Bill Janovitz says in his review of the song, "The result is a raw and murky but atmosphere-filled blues track that spotlights Mick Jagger's mumbled sexual boasts and intense harmonica playing. With barely veiled innuendo — just enough to make it comical — Jagger makes like a modern-dayMuddy Waters ."cite web| last =Unterberger| first =Richie| title = "Jigsaw Puzzle"| work = allmusic| publisher = allmusic| url =http://wc08.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:3bfexx9sldke| accessdate = 2007-09-18]Recording began at
