I love that Mick Jagger dug it so much. It's a truly unique take on the song but one made out of love for it. I like to think that it made perfect sense to an approving Jagger.
According to Jerry, as it turns out, Elliot Roberts (Devo's manager at the time) called ahead of the meeting and told Jagger to approve of it regardless of what he actually thought, because he would make bank on the royalty checks.
@@zhiracs Of course I am looking at it retrospectively and with a deep love for both versions but I would like to think that Mick, with all the variations in sounds that the Stone's went through, would have found Devo's version great despite Roberts' intervention.
This is SO cool! Yesterday I wanted to ask (Google) if any Stones had ever commented on Devos Satisfaction & here we have Mick dancing with Devo and digging it! I LOVE IT!
Am I the only only one who thinks Mothersbaugh today is looking like Mickey Rourke should have looked today if not for the boxing and botched plastic surgeries?
@@eti313, he was at the very early days, he departed the band for a career in electronics. Cannot recall which documentary source I heard it from. Might be on the band commentary, on the NOW IT CAN BE TOLD d.v.d.. And something unrelated to this video, D-E-V-O has two sets of brothers in the band and are Ohio based. Interestingly enough, the band The National has two sets of brothers and are also Ohio based. Hooray for Mid -West brotherly love !

@@rockystorm9749 I’ll keep an eye out for this. I was so hooked on this 4.5 min video, that I screamed “NO!” when it stopped. I wanted to know who ELSE was doing subversive covers haha.
@@inalavalamp I would submit The Talking Heads' "Take Me To The River" may be part of this show. Certainly remember the '78 Devo performance on Saturday Night Live, was visiting friends at an Michigan State dormitory, where things were getting weird on their own, then that popped up.
I've loved Devo since the late 70s. Their social commentary, satire and uniquness, sadly, has never been appreciated IMO. Much of their work was very prophetic. I think their early work holds up remarkably well, and I still viscerally enjoy their music, but I think Mark's has become a myopic tribalist. I think his 1975 self would not appreciate his 2022 self very much. Such is life.
Greatest cover of a hit song ever. I really believe it's never been topped. And I'm not even a big DEVO fan.

Maybe one of the greatest covers ever.
That drum beat is so underrated. Not easy to play and keep up with.
There’s a reason Alan Myers was called The Human Metronome…he was one of the greats.
One handed?
“the drummer”… Alan Meyers deserved way more respect than that.
Literally 😭
you can't find a SINGLE dude around like him today. the man fuckin KILLED it on EVERYTHING he did
honestly, with the way it's cut i bet mark actually named him, but for some reason the producers just kinda cut around his name 😬
Are we not Men album had a great following in the underground skateboard scene in Australia in the late '70s.
Nice
Anything on Devo is always a pleasure. Thanks for posting.
Cool to see that Mothersbaugh family picture, Mark and Bob1 were so young!
The singer cracks up on 'baby baby baby baby' I've always liked that.
their cover of Hey Hey My My is absolutely KILLER too
YES! I saw it & started sending it to friends.
that
was
the ORIGINAL version ...

Okay, I hadn't heard the Mick Jager dancing around and declaring demo's cover his fav version story before. I love it
This is SO cool! Yesterday I wanted to ask (Google) if any Stones had ever commented on Devos Satisfaction & here we have Mick dancing with Devo and digging it! I LOVE IT!
Great song! As a typically hard rocker. Devo is a very quirky band to me but very appealing. I still have the debut record which I play a lot!
The video for Devo's version is insane
Awesome remake!!!
That ending was ominous.
Anyway, if you don't look at the screen, Mark sounds exactly like a less deliberate Chuck Palahniuk.
super interesting

Mark didn't care that he replaced Alan with drum machines. Alan was the precision of that band.
How do you know he didn't care?
The band In The Heavy Metal movie playing in the bar was Devo as far as I'm concerned
Interesting that Mark refers to Alan as "the drummer"
I noticed that too. Say the man’s name, dammit! Alan made Devo as much as the rest of the spudboys did.
I think Mark was a big reason Alan left the band. Especially as the sound became more electric
Was Jim the drummer back then? Probably not.

This song is so "ok that happened".
I would never ever comment on a yt vid about it

Love the Jagger part asking for permission to record song
I'd pay some serious money to see a (relatively) young jagger dancing to devo
Heard it in Casino
which documentary is this?
Better than the Original: The Joy of the Cover Version, BBCTV, currently not available

@@inalavalamp The Residents did a version of "Satisfaction" too

Which documentary is this a clip from?
I think it was a programme about covers, I like the fact that Mick Jagger had to approve it
Like 667
who were the other ones in the 70s subverting classic songs?
Curious about that, myself. The Residents had released the 3rd Reich and Roll and a single of their own version of Satisfaction prior to Devo's.
I think it's better than the original version
no
This is a Devo song.
I actually prefer it to the original, rare i say that of covers ,with the execption of jonny cash's cover of hurt.
Rex?
i cant stand the stones version. it grates at me in a way i cant describe.
devo just made it sound... right, in my mind. the way it was meant to be.
Same with me. I have always hated and been annoyed by the Stones version, whereas Devo’s is wild and fascinating.
They even predicted covid.
...explain?
@@OrinBoborin
I was on a devo jag and they had some kind of masks on during an interview. Or maybe it’s just the idea of “devolution”…
Everyone in the Jocko Homo video is wearing a mask of some kind, except Mark. Ironically, Mark got Covid IRL.
You mean he became ill. Have you learned nothing of virology? @@eti313
