"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"
Song

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is a song by American New Wave band Devo. Released as a single in 1977 from their album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, the song is a cover of The Rolling Stones' classic song, which was written by Jagger/Richards. Both Jagger and Richards on separate occasions have said that they prefer the cover to their own, Richards saying that: "musically, Devo's blows ours right out of the water." Steve Huey of Allmusic stated that the cover version "reworks the original's alienation into a spastic freak-out that's nearly unrecognizable".

The quirky music video for this song and several others from this album received significant airplay on the upstart MTV. The videos were included in a compilation set called "We're All Devo." A particular dance move, a forward flip onto his back, drew significant attention to the dancer Craig Allen Rothwell, known as Spazz Attack. This was perhaps the definitive dance move of the Punk/New Wave movement. David Bowie noticed and later used Spazz Attack in his 1987 Glass Spider Tour.
