[@jodibrooklyn1033]

Exactly. You nailed it and said it beautifully. Make it your own. Devo certainly did just that. Way the hell ahead of their time. Happy I caught them 4 times within the past few years. They performed in the same way that they did back then. Devo kept it real.

[@toddsimpson2351]

I cant find when this was first composed but it HAD to be before 1975. I remember going to a theater in Wadsworth Ohio (roughly a "suburb" of Akron) and they rolled a promo of this song with video before the movie. I guess you could say it was the first music "video" I ever saw :-) One thing for certain though is it made a very strong impression on me as a kid.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

I like this version better, frankly. It's got that amazingly weird and quirky combination of the off-kilter drum beat with the bass line, coupled with the odd and desperate lyrical style. Pure genius. Devo is hugely misunderstood as a joke band. No way. They are the real deal.

[@DavidGee51]

Personally, I've always found the Stones' version to be kind of boring and old-fogeyish, even when I was a kid. I prefer this one too, especially for that drum beat. It's just too bad that most people, even those who who were around when Devo was big, only remember Whip It.

[@roehrc]

Yes, agreed. I like DEVO's version better than the Stones'.

[@veltonmeade1057]

Ha, reminds me of my story. There were four of us that hanged all through highschool, and one of them graduated in 1978. When my mom was gone visiting my sister's we would hang and play records and Den brought over a DEVO album around '78 or '79 and none of us liked it. We hated that album with a passion. We were used to listening to KISS, Kansas, Styx, Beatles, etc. He was also the one that brought over his Cars album. We eventually began to like both groups, but it took a while for us also.

Devo's version was excellent! It was even one of Mick Jagger's favorite cover versions! At that time, they were so weird that they almost didn't get their musical guest spot on Saturday Night Live. But their producer pulled strings, & they got the SNL gig. Their SNL performance, which included Satisfaction, was a big hit.

[@the7ghost1]

Devo was loved by so many influential people....David Bowie was originally supposed to produce their first album because he and Iggy Pop got them their contract with Warner Brothers, but he had other commitments so he got Brian Eno to do it...amazing, underrated band

[@ronj9448]

More Info: Releasing the cover on an album, however, wasn't guaranteed. As the New Yorker explained, Devo had made such a weird, bizarre, warped version of "Satisfaction," the label wouldn't release it without Mick Jagger's permission. And considering how out-there it was, that was no slam-dunk. So when Jagger, his manager, and members of Devo gathered in a Manhattan office, the band members were truly nervous about how Jagger - one of their rock idols - would take the song. After about 30 seconds of silently listening, he delivered his verdict: by dancing around and exclaiming "I like it, I like it." Even if Devo had no satisfaction, at least Mick Jagger got plenty of it from them.

[@bricaaron3978]

@@ronj9448 *"Devo had made such a weird, bizarre, warped version of "Satisfaction," the label wouldn't release it without Mick Jagger's permission"* What are you talking about? _NO_ band can release an album with a cover unless they have permission from the owner(s) of the song being covered. You can cover a song in a live performance, but you can _not_ release an album with a cover without permission/payment. At any rate, the opposite of what you claim is true: The more _unlike_ an original song a cover is, the more likely it would be able to escape legal ramifications... not there would much chance at all. Sure enough, I looked up the _New Yorker_ source and there's no explanation there, either. Just dishonesty. I suggest you take what you read --- especially from dishonest people --- with a grain of salt.

[@ronj9448]

@@bricaaron3978 You're wrong. Compulsory licensing prohibits the owners of a song from stopping you from releasing a cover song provided you inform them and work out the royalty. The reason people seek permission is because they don't want the writer of the song taking the lion's share of the royalties. Which they can do if it is not worked out in advance. Some bands don't care and they love the song or looking for exposure. So you're wrong, and it would appear confused by the whole thing. Sad.

[@bricaaron3978]

@@ronj9448 *"You're wrong. Compulsory licensing prohibits the owners of a song from stopping you from releasing a cover song provided you inform them and work out the royalty."* What you refer to was only legislated two years before this occurred and it has been extremely rare that anyone has actually taken that route. In 99.9%+ of cases the covering band gets permission from the copyright owner. Further, it only applies to songs which have not had the melody altered, or been fundamentally changed, which Devo's version certainly was. What is it that you are claiming happened in this case?

EVERYTHING in the world is better than the RS !

Jonas Briggins So you’re saying the original is more boring and basic? Got it...

The baby getting electrocuted with toaster

[@guitarzan2626]

High school days, fast times, rolling smoke, Devo on the cassette. Underrated band for sure. Good times in 81!

[@Ganon-nq2qq]

There's a line of whether or not I like something, and this song uses it as a jump rope

[@jimfox6885]

That may be the best comment I have ever read!

[@aestheticaltwat]

Finally, someone understands.

[@jivepatrol6833]

Love DEVO!!! I like they had their dad in the videos too! 😂😂

[@MultiPaulomota]

Man,what a version of this song ,5 star to this one

[@seancurran2659]

Saw them live in small theater in 1980. Best live show I ever saw in my whole life!!

Still love the Punk at 0:55 and his amazing 'Flip'! 👍👏👏👏

[@27TacitusKilgore]

Now that's a cover.

[@florencesissy9492]

I love Devo, absolutely brilliant. 👏👍👏

[@timothyoconnell4189]

In the early 80's I was very "classic rock" and didn't appreciate different versions. But listening to this version now, I think it's brilliant! What a great band!

[@Depsypher]

I'm not sure modern science could make a sexier baseline than this. Every time I watch Casino I get this stuck in my head for days.

[@TheFrenchGunner]

That's exactly why I'm here !

[@Dlweta57]

Such a kool version , i'm no muso ...but I love the unusual time signature they have used , Bravo Devo ... Pure genius

[@Michael-fs5mu]

Been Listening 2 Them Since The First Album.... Killer

[@mwolfod]

No small accomplishment to take one of the greatest songs in rock history and make it completely your own. Tight, tight, tight as Heck. Superb and highly apropos musician choreography.

[@MewWolf5]

The guy flailing around fascinates me for some reason.

Spazz Attack

[@kryldon8146]

Yeah, lol. Reminds me of Bowie.

[@ianfindly3257]

kryldon, Speaking of Bowie, it so happens he was also featured in DB's Glass Spider show www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&rlz=1C1PRFI_enUS778US778&biw=1366&bih=613&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=0ALMWpGuDqWZjwS5qq7ICw&q=spazz+attack+dancer&oq=spazz+attack+dancer&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i24k1.33705.39890.0.41634.18.14.0.4.4.0.150.960.13j1.14.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.8.398...0i13k1j0i13i30k1j0i13i5i30k1.0.rWs5ma415B0#imgrc=T_QXzTdJgSDvUM:

TheWolfsan, What they're doing in THIS VIDEO looks more like pantomime than dancing.

[@oncydium]

The gentleman's name is Craig Allen Rothwell, a costume designer who also went by the stage name name Spazz Attack.

[@rjwh67220]

One of the greatest covers of all time.

[@9999999995914]

DEVO the next rock band to inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame ! amen !

[@mattwages7692]

They are. They just haven't had a big induction ceremony for them.

[@jimduccilli1381]

The HOF is meaningless now. When bands like Jethro Tull, ELP and Kansas aren't in it, and the Moody Blues had to wait until this year to get in, what's the point? And now you campaign for Devo? I dunno, maybe if the bands truly worthy had just worn flower pots for hats.

[@wyyrdojim]

One the best covers in history!😎

[@jasonsphinx8461]

Heh... Zepparella+++

[@MrBee-AEW]

This is amazing, inspirational band that has not dated.

[@B-A-L]

The best cover of a Rolling Stones track ever!
