Early on in Martin Scorsese’s latest film, The Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo DiCaprio’s brash young broker throws a party at his office. Strippers, a secretary with a shaved head and even a marching band parade around while his coworkers are worked into an animalistic frenzy. G: The Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter From ‘The Departed’.

Fittingly, Scorsese’s first use of a Stones song comes from their first album, a self-titled 1964 LP rereleased in the United States as England’s Newest Hitmakers. In this scene from the director’s 1973 breakout, we meet Harvey Keitel’s young, conflicted mobster, Charlie, as he saunters through a strip club while Jagger sings a gentle, lovelorn pop tune. A few weeks after the release of The Departed, Scorsese filmed the Stones performing at New York City’s Beacon Theatre for what would become the documentary and album Shine a Light, which takes its name from another Exile classic.
