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 !!”
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.
This is the conventional answer, which I would disagree with: Take me to the River, Al Green - covered by Talking Heads ruclips.net/video/v4azbl96BJY/видео.html
This one is quite close… To Ulrike M., Doris Days - covered by Zero 7 ruclips.net/video/4jJTl8INIbg/видео.html (edited) especially considering the orignal they were working with: ruclips.net/video/HVY-tqz0MRQ/видео.html
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.
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.
@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? ruclips.net/video/jwzxHTD-n-M/видео.html
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! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎😎😎😎😎
Weren't these teenage groups just puppets? As they sold few discos, who bought their expensive equipment and produced them? So, Who was their master of puppets?
ok a few things: chuck statlers cast of goons in this vid. the punk guy[if still living] needs to see an orthopod twice mnthly today. he is the real deal. oh yea imagine eno +conny plank and these goons in the studio 1970's, wowser the drugs.
+kris s: That front flip onto his back is also known in professional wrestling as a somersault senton. The standard senton is a backsplash (jump so you land face up with your back hitting your opponent). Gorilla Monsoon (RIP) called it a "running front flip" during the match where the Cobra (George Takano in a mask) defeated Black Tiger (Marc "Rollerball" Rocco in a mask) for the vacant New Japan WWF Junior Heavyweight Title, "WWF Prime Time Wrestling," Madison Square Garden, New York, NY, February 19, 1985 (taped December 28, 1984). The move would not be called by its proper name until the 1990s.
it was the 70s. Everyone did everything, and it was weirder to be straight than high. It wasn't hat big a deal. We were still learning about it, and had no idea what the longterm effects were gonna be. And drugs were "cleaner" then. That said, the guys in DEVO were as colorful as they were without drugs. They'd have been we weird and incredibly creative either way.
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 !!”
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.
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.
Best cover of all time.
I'll grant that, but a close second is

totally agree just fab
it's actually the original
@@squirrels2nuts how is that
@@vorlons100 devo owns the song
they sure do@@squirrels2nuts
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.

I was born in 1977
But I absolutely love it
I heard this song later on in life and I loved it every since
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!!
One of the all time best covers
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™
Balls of steel doing this cover and hitting a grand slam of decomposed delight
You mean Gates of steel?
AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!

As a stones fan through and through I peversly enjoy this 1:39
This cover will ultimately prove to be cooler/more awesome than the original. And the original being the Stones... this is simply awesome art.
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.
So much so that Jagger said it was the best cover of Satisfaction he ever heard.
2:06 for the greatest hidden cut in a music video, ever.
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!

High school memories - so fun!!I wish they'd make a movie about Devo
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.
Are we not men? We are DEVO!!!!! Love it! DEVO and Perry Como are my two favorite groups!
Versão bem humorada! Gosto muito!!!
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
Damn... I forgot how badass this version is!!
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。
Most creative cover of song that’s better than the original version of the song!!, incredible !!!
2:28 Best way to say NO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So looking forwards to seeing you all in August at Green Man Festival in Wales. Hey, hey, hey....
great band and great video.
Love you Devo!
Devo is the bong
I love them
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 so awesome
Best cover ever
I first saw this in Italy at the Florence Hard Rock Cafe. Stuck with me ever since
I can't get me no ageless relief from this satisfaction
🔥DEVO🔥
✌🏻❤🕊️
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.
About 1979 this was the first version of Satisfaction I heard and to this day it still sounds right.
When I've heard and seen it first time, I can't stop smiling.
Rolling Stones dethroned
THIS BE CLASSIC!!!
Better than original.
Wild take on the Stones !!!!!!
Best Vidi!
superb.
woooooooooooo!
My favorite Devo song😅
This song got so deconstructed by Devo it doesn't even exist anymore.
I like the price tag dangling from the bass guitar.
Casino!!! Nicky's crew was fuqqing bad!
Amei
That rare situation when cover is best
They made it their own not just covered it. Epic if I may say so 💯
R.I.P. Spaz Attack
This song was so good oingo boingo did a cover of a British song to later on
Friday Night Videos mind blown
Spazz attack yo!
This is time capsule material
Are we not men , we are Devo
@swinebread ...devo movie? HELL YES!!! ...that's all i gotta say...

“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!

Has anybody ever counted the number of times he says "baby" starting at 1:49?
I wonder who does Booji Boy. DEVO's mascot.
Casino !
I bet the Stones are really concerned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s how you do it.
😈AMEN !👍🏴☠
word
OMG, time warp!
@jiece0marlow His name is Spaz Attack.

I used to think this was the original
I miss that robotic style-a very inspired and unique cover!
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
Casino brought me here
0:57
Casino...
Estoy acá porque la recomendó Sabo Romo en su entrevista con Javier Paniagua
If it is from the 80s🎉 who cares how it sounds,at least we know is REAL SINGING 😅😅(without feedbacks,)😅😅
Has anyone counted how many times he says "baby"?
Doin' The Ol' Algorithm Shuffle ?......This Was Uploaded In 2009.
For some reason I see a Buddy Holly influence.
Three guitarists for this?
