(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
genius.com ^ | 1965 | Jagger & Richards

Posted on 04/09/2024 1:21:08 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Despite the countless number of rock songs about lust, this one seems to stand out the most among critics and fans alike. Known for its timeless riff (which Keith Richards literally wrote in his sleep), this song placed #2 on the Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Released in 1965, “Satisfaction” is the song that cemented the already popular Rolling Stones as superstars.

When I’m watchin’ my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can’t be a man ‘cause he doesn’t smoke
The same cigarettes as me

That was Devo's second song on their first appearance on Saturday Night Live.

I’ve seen the Stones eight times. (This summer will mark the ninth, assuming I or they don’t keel over in the interim.) “Satisfaction” is one of only four songs they’ve played every time. Any guesses on the other three?

I like that one and Gimme Shelter. When I play those songs for kids in their 20’s they love it.

How nice to know that the singer is completely satisfied.

Commenting on Fake News...in the 60s?

“When I’m driving in my car
And that man comes on the radio
And he’s telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can’t get no, oh no, no, no!
Hey, hey, hey! That’s what I’ll say!”

Mick Jagger’s statement –

‘Satisfaction’ was ‘my view of the world, my frustration with everything… (disgust with) America, its advertising syndrome, the constant barrage

Richards about the most famous riff in rock –

That riff needed to sustain itself, and Gibson had just brought out these little boxes.(the fuzz).

And – about the riff coming to him in his sleep – On the tape, you can hear me drop the pick, and the rest is snoring.

Never thought about it as being about “lust.”

Seemed like a rather self-aware kid frustrated with the world around him.

I like that one and Gimme Shelter.

"Moonlight Mile" for me - Mick Taylor-era Stones were the best version of that band.

First thing I thought of.

Devo has the best song cover since Hendrix did Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower"

I remember watching SNL that night (stoned as usual) and had never seen them before - "what the heck was that"?

Wasn't love at first sight - but they DID grow on me.
