I graduated high school in 80, but I never got into this genre of music, I was a straight up R&R'er. Now I can appreciate it for what it was, but still not a fan.
When I was fourteen, I used a fake ID singing the clubs in Dallas, Texas. I was in a girl's band called the Telephones and we opened up for Devo when they were just an underground punk band back in the late seventies. Life was so powerful back then.
nah. youre a punk cos youre a punk. and youre a nerd cos youre a nerd. but i digress... quality..... and those that appreciate as such.. . That Is what makes us Appreciate good things.
I can’t agree with you emphatically enough. If you cover a well-known song, you’ve gotta do it better, or creatively create an interpretation so creative that your gob-smacked fans cannot help but say “worth it !!”

It’s Akron….just take 71….its not hard to find…say hello to Tin Huey….and the Black Keys while you are there…then try and figure out the connection between Tin Huey and The Black Keys….it involves a Saxaphone.
This is one of the best covers that I've ever heard! The opening grooves at the beginning of this jam are funky as hell! The opening of the drum beats grooves into the nasty bass licks then slides into the wicked guitar riffs! That shit is funky! The vocals are also perfect for the style and sound of this groove! This song is youthful and timeless. It's creative and ahead of its time. It has elements of funk, punk, new wave, and rock. This song captured the essence of the times. It also captures the brilliance and genius of DEVO!

just heard Jerry Casale tell the story that this song was written around the guitar riff that comes in last. With Alan playing kind of a backwards drum beat. So Jerry decided to play a backwards reggae line, starting on the 2, not the 1. Mark originally sang lyrics to a different song. But on the suggestion of Bob 2 tried the lyrics of satisfaction. And there it was.
Growing up, I lived in an area without cable television. This and Once In A Lifetime were the first music videos I ever saw when Friday Night Videos was on the air. It made me wonder if everyone in the music biz was epileptic.
One nite in Laredo Tx....we were drinking ,smokein,skkiing....at a motel....the Mexico TV station played The Who TOMMY movie..(with spanish subtitles).....Eternal Grave X mas...the Barbituate an Jhonnie Walker Red communion .....Acid Queen..Cousin Kevin ,Uncle Ernie.....we laughed our asses off and rocked out as well....
I might not agree with your assessment of the artistic merits of this version vs the original, but it is a top flight cover. So much so that Jagger said it was the best cover of Satisfaction he ever heard.
Great Dance would💜to see you complete entire 1980 song! Guy sleeping on couch wakes up smiling at end😂🤣 👏🏼 Great job guys, bringing back my fav song at 10 yrs old, 💜Roller Skating to this song❣️ Tks for the memories 💟
I can remember the first time I saw this, which was also the first time I'd heard this or even heard of Devo most likely. It was a late night music show like Don Kirchner or Midnight Special or something. The rest of the family were asleep thankfully. I recall being a little. ..is scared the right word? Nervous? It was off putting for me with how much I liked it. I was a 70's stoner kid, Zeppelin, Floyd, (70's) Aerosmith. I liked a certain sound, look and swagger and this just exploded out of the TV and was so amazing! I still like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath etc but after this I really expanded what i listened to and often just took a chance on a new band. I got a lot of crap from other kids for listening to new wave and punk and frankly, anything that was really good! But I feel sorry for the people who can't open their mind a little and take some chances because they missed out on a lot of amazing music and art.
Yes Devo has the music to stand on its own and many say they don't need the gimmicks and props etc. NO way ! This is the band when I was 13 that I saw perform this song on MTV and it weirdly changed my curve on music listening forever mainly because of the outfits, props, gimmicks and style.
This is the best cover of any song EVER! I like it much better than the original. I saw Deco first time in 81 and again in either 82 or 83 and most recently at Punk Rock Bowling this last Memorial Day. I first heard them on the radio in 1980
@jiece0marlow Spaz Attack is the dudes name. And, speaking of THAT, it so happens that he did also perform, as a back up dancer, on a Bowie concert tuor ( Glass Spider '87 ) .
Since Toni Basil choreographed the Glass Spider tour, do you think she had a hand in Spazz's dance here? If you weren't there, in the late 70s, Spazz would dance like this in clubs. Basil did do a few Devo videos. Coincidence? th-cam.com/video/jwzxHTD-n-M/w-d-xo.html
Beyond a lot of other stuff,,,this creeped me out in 10th grade,,,and it still does...Devo were just creepy,,,especially then,,,no one ever heard their creepy stuff,,,genius...I guess this shit was Go in on in Akron 15 miles south of me when I was in 9th grade,,,,
Devo were always a pissa! Especially this cover of The Stones which ironically they sound even more stoned than The Stones 😂😂😂😂😂😂 They sound like they were on fucking qualudes while cutting this track. Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nevertheless I L❤VE this version of Satisfaction! Love how they used it in the movie CASINO too! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎😎😎😎😎
![일상 속 기분 좋음 [Proto disco meme]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DwmEIaZ7XGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Best cover of the stones ever. Period !
This by far is the best cover of a Rolling Stone song!!!
Apparently that what Mick Jagger said too!
@defiverr4697 Absolutely true. He LOVED it!
stones covered devo
@@squirrels2nuts No, the other way around!
The Stones should do a cover of this Devo cover!!
I was in high school 1978-1982, so Devo was a HUGE part of my teenage experience.
1987 to 1991 for me.
I graduated high school in 80, but I never got into this genre of music, I was a straight up R&R'er. Now I can appreciate it for what it was, but still not a fan.
But I won’t say where I’m from.… It did have some roll on it. Devo did not go over very well in my town is a pretty hit town lol.
AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!

The Telephones......boys calling our number...heavy breath split 7in 😊
Devo-The original punk rock nerds. This is why I'm a punk rock nerd in 2023.
Yup! They were Wayyyyyyyyy before bands like Weezer. And I love Weezer
Agreed
nah.
youre a punk cos youre a punk.
and youre a nerd cos youre a nerd.
but i digress... quality..... and those that appreciate as such.. . That Is what makes us Appreciate good things.
Fuck yeah
I was a nerd but never a conformist.
High school memories - so fun!!I wish they'd make a movie about Devo
As far as I'm concerned, this is how you do a cover.
Correct - I get nothing but satisfaction watching this lunacy.
Make it better. Hell yes.
I prefer this to the original. I don't even like that
yes its much better more energy @@macsonyatakacs3208
I can’t agree with you emphatically enough. If you cover a well-known song, you’ve gotta do it better, or creatively create an interpretation so creative that your gob-smacked fans cannot help but say “worth it !!”
I would love to visit Devo's home planet. I bet it's amazing.
Yeah, it's called OHIO!
@@davidrichard3752They are a fun group. We are in NW PA. Ohio is a different planet. Flat land makes me nervous.

@@vorlons100 devo owns the song
they sure do@@squirrels2nuts
Balls of steel doing this cover and hitting a grand slam of decomposed delight
You mean Gates of steel?
💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
I was born in 1977
But I absolutely love it
I heard this song later on in life and I loved it every since
Good tunes never go out of style.
I love The Rolling Stones more than anyone, but Devo owns this tune.
Best cover ever..certified
Greatest cover of all time.
Best cover of all time.
I'll grant that, but a close second is

As a stones fan through and through I peversly enjoy this 1:39
I love how Weird Al incorporated so much of Devo into "Dare To Be Stupid".
0:10 Price tag still on the bass 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Freedom™ of Choice™
One of the all time best covers
Complete and utter genius.
Devo is the bong
I love them
This is better than the original, so cool !!!
💯 Agree! Yup! I have to admit without hesitation that THIS is the wayyyy more interesting and fun to listen to version of Satisfaction imo.
yes so much better than the original@@vinnykster
I might not agree with your assessment of the artistic merits of this version vs the original, but it is a top flight cover.

There needs to be a devo movie
There’s like two DEVO movies
The guy driving the car - where have we seen him before ?
@@RodGreenwood-kc1sbthat's General Boy

They were all over Radio and MTV in the early 80's! Huuuuge and influential!
初来日のコンサート見ました。素晴らしいライブでした
Are we not men? We are DEVO!!!!! Love it! DEVO and Perry Como are my two favorite groups!
Untouchable
2:06 for the greatest hidden cut in a music video, ever.

Versão bem humorada! Gosto muito!!!
So looking forwards to seeing you all in August at Green Man Festival in Wales. Hey, hey, hey....

2:28 Best way to say NO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn... I forgot how badass this version is!!
...truly ahh-some 🔥
The bass line rips, go Gerry!!!
More soul than the stones

Love you Devo!
Wild take on the Stones !!!!!!
Spazz is a great dancer!
This version is great, but the live version they did on SNL is the best IMO.
Unfortunately, I can no longer find a video of it anywhere now.
Jagger loved it.
I heard this in one of those Deniro/ Scorcessi gangster movies and was amazed Devo made a Stones song better 😮😮😮
Casino
0:14 ... That effects unit taped to the guitar ... That was a way-cool bit of wizardry. I thought only Danny Gatton built stuff like that.
Friday Night Videos mind blown
This is the best cover of any song EVER! I like it much better than the original. I saw Deco first time in 81 and again in either 82 or 83 and most recently at Punk Rock Bowling this last Memorial Day. I first heard them on the radio in 1980
if you can't do better don't bother😃
This is Amay May great video and this is one of the best music videos of the 1970s and one of the best songs of the 70s
Totally badass!!
This cover even got Jagger dancing when they played it for him
Rolling Stones dethroned
I can't get me no ageless relief from this satisfaction
I like the price tag dangling from the bass guitar.
Only Scorsese can make a song for a scene perfectly
Whatever the dude doing the flips is on he should share. This is a good one. Haven’t seen this since the early MTV days.
Has anybody ever counted the number of times he says "baby" starting at 1:49?
superb.
" The shot with the dude throwing himself over backwards, who looked like David Bowie!!!!
Best cover ever
This song was so good oingo boingo did a cover of a British song to later on
Pricetag: priceless
I believe there was a price on it. $89.95

The original was great, but this cover was 10 times better still. Absolute classic.
It’s a fine cover but the original rules. The original is indeed an absolute classic.
The live version they did on SNL is the best
Casino !
Best fukin cover song evr
THIS BE CLASSIC!!!
Obrigado b3+1 👏 Palmas 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Most creative cover of song that’s better than the original version of the song!!, incredible !!!
How pre-empathetic!❤
This is so awesome

Better than original.
Man the sounds here are crazy, especially for being something from the *LATE 70s* holy crap
久しぶりにＤＥＶＯのＰＶ見ました、懐かしい～、いいですね～
その昔、１５歳の頃にSatisfactionのコピーで演奏もしてました。
I first saw this in Italy at the Florence Hard Rock Cafe. Stuck with me ever since
This is time capsule material
woooooooooooo!
Best Vidi!
My favorite Devo song😅
Love Marks Tele with the MXR duct taped to it
When I've heard and seen it first time, I can't stop smiling.
better than the original
Are we not men , we are Devo
🤘🤘🤘🤘that’s what I say
❤
About 1979 this was the first version of Satisfaction I heard and to this day it still sounds right.
Have you heard the original 7" version? It was released in UK on Stiff Records. It's the best. PS search Devo/Neil Young
"OHIO SPUD BOY!!! - IN DA HOUSE!"
The shot with "BOOGIE BOY" - IN DA CRIB- PUTTING THE FORK IN THE SMOKING TOASTER!!! 😅
Spazz attack yo!
They made it their own not just covered it. Epic if I may say so 💯
Better than the original😂
I wonder who does Booji Boy. DEVO's mascot.
Beyond a lot of other stuff,,,this creeped me out in 10th grade,,,and it still does...Devo were just creepy,,,especially then,,,no one ever heard their creepy stuff,,,genius...I guess this shit was Go in on in Akron 15 miles south of me when I was in 9th grade,,,,

So much better than the stones. Love that jagger hates it too
