"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is a hit riff driven rock song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards for The Rolling Stones and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. Jagger credited "Satisfaction" with popularising The Rolling Stones, and suggested that its success was due to its reflection of the "spirit of the times". The song's themes included sexual intercourse and anti-commercialism, causing it to be "perceived as an attack on the status quo".
Devo's take on "Satisfaction"
Devo's take on "Satisfaction" from their 1978 album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! kept the lyrics, but radically reinterpreted the music into their own staccato "mechanical" version; it was selected by The Telegraph as one of the 50 greatest cover versions of all time. Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh claims that the idea for the cover came from singing "Satisfaction" and Paint It Black at the same time, while going through a car wash.
