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.
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 !!”
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!
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 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.

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.
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.
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
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.
@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? ua-cam.com/video/jwzxHTD-n-M/v-deo.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,,,,

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 !!”

totally agree just fab
it's actually the original
@@squirrels2nuts how is that
@@vorlons100 devo owns the song
they sure do@@squirrels2nuts
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!!
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 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 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.
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.
@@Buddha-of8fk Ha, ha, ha... I'm a Mainer and know what you mean but after all, we do live on a flat earth! Ha, ha, ha...

@@nomadmarauder-dw9re Hahahahahaha!!!
Balls of steel doing this cover and hitting a grand slam of decomposed delight
You mean Gates of steel?
This is the greatest.. I remember seeing this WAY back when on MTV. I was hooked.
I love how Weird Al incorporated so much of Devo into "Dare To Be Stupid".

As a stones fan through and through I peversly enjoy this 1:39

And there it was.
do you remember where you heard this?
Best cover ever..certified
0:10 Price tag still on the bass 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Freedom™ of Choice™
AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!
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

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!
Untouchable
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 💟
Greatest cover ever made.
...truly ahh-some 🔥
Complete and utter genius.
High school memories - so fun!!I wish they'd make a movie about Devo

Only Scorsese can make a song for a scene perfectly
Man the sounds here are crazy, especially for being something from the *LATE 70s* holy crap
Are we not men? We are DEVO!!!!! Love it! DEVO and Perry Como are my two favorite groups!
Has anybody ever counted the number of times he says "baby" starting at 1:49?
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.
Damn... I forgot how badass this version is!!
Devo is the bong
I love them
Spazz is a great dancer!
Casino!!! Nicky's crew was fuqqing bad!
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.
Versão bem humorada! Gosto muito!!!
So looking forwards to seeing you all in August at Green Man Festival in Wales. Hey, hey, hey....
More soul than the stones
2:28 Best way to say NO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most creative cover of song that’s better than the original version of the song!!, incredible !!!
2:06 for the greatest hidden cut in a music video, ever.
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.
This cover even got Jagger dancing when they played it for him
This song was so good oingo boingo did a cover of a British song to later on
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.
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
Love you Devo!
Obrigado b3+1 👏 Palmas 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I can't get me no ageless relief from this satisfaction
This is so awesome
Love Marks Tele with the MXR duct taped to it
Pricetag: priceless
Better than original.

I like the price tag dangling from the bass guitar.
Wild take on the Stones !!!!!!
Friday Night Videos mind blown
Best fukin cover song evr
About 1979 this was the first version of Satisfaction I heard and to this day it still sounds right.
How pre-empathetic!❤
Rolling Stones dethroned
THIS BE CLASSIC!!!
I first saw this in Italy at the Florence Hard Rock Cafe. Stuck with me ever since
superb.
When I've heard and seen it first time, I can't stop smiling.
Casino !
Best Vidi!
woooooooooooo!
Best cover ever
better than the original
🤘🤘🤘🤘that’s what I say
Better than the original😂
This is time capsule material
This song got so deconstructed by Devo it doesn't even exist anymore.
My favorite Devo song😅
Spazz attack yo!
@swinebread ...devo movie? HELL YES!!! ...that's all i gotta say...
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。
They made it their own not just covered it. Epic if I may say so 💯
So much better than the stones. Love that jagger hates it too
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 Never ‘creepy
I wonder who does Booji Boy. DEVO's mascot.
Are we not men , we are Devo
❤
“So to get even, Nicky’s crew got stoned one night and started shooting up the cop’s houses.”
Lmaooo "Casino" lol very good, I see what you did there!
Ralph Bakshi used that flip in American Pop
This cover will ultimately prove to be cooler/more awesome than the original. And the original being the Stones... this is simply awesome art.
Amei
And now all Music 🎵 looks 👀 like this 🤪🤪🤪🎶🎶
some serious drugs at 1:55 hahah
Yup! Haha 😂😂😂😂😂 More Stoned than The Stones even if that was possible back in the day 😂😂😂😂I lmao L❤VE DEVO
When you start thinking of the song Satisfaction by devo
0:55 and 2:06 made me laugh.
OMG, time warp!
R.I.P. Spaz Attack
I bet the Stones are really concerned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
