| 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."
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.
