It has been covered by various artists, including David Bowie in 1973 . </P> <P> The song was recorded in December 1966 at the RCA Records studio in Hollywood, California, where the group recorded most of their 1965--1966 hits . Recording engineer Glyn Johns recounts that while mixing "Let's Spend the Night Together", Oldham was trying to get a certain sound by clicking his fingers . Two policemen showed up, stating that the front door was open and that they were checking to see if everything was all right . At first, Oldham asked them to hold his earphones while he snapped his fingers but then Johns said they needed a more wooden sound . The policemen suggested their truncheons and Mick Jagger took the truncheons into the studio to record the claves - like sound that can be heard during the quiet break at one minute 40 seconds into the song . </P>
