Devo covering The The Rolling Stones‘ (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.

Devo released their rendition of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” as a single in 1977.

Steve Huey of Allmusic stated that the cover version “reworks the original’s alienation into a spastic freak-out that’s nearly unrecognizable”.

The song was profusely played on MTV and had a star know as “Spazz Attack” who would commonly dance on the show for the song.

What was for the Rolling Stones an anthem of teenage angst Devo have repackaged as a diatribe against commercialism, a theme that crops up again and again on their debut LP.
