I can’t get enough “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction”

on June 23, 2011

Here’s what I love about the collection of content on the Internet. You start discovering one thing and then it sends you down the rabbit hole to discover more and more on that topic that you didn’t even know existed. Such is what happened to me today while I was listening to three different versions of The Rolling Stones’ iconic rock hit “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction.” I happened to be listening to a playlist on MOG that had back-to-back three versions of “(I can’t get no) Satisfaction.” First the Rolling Stones’ version, then Britney Spears’ version, and finally Devo’s version.

Upon listening to Britney Spears’ version, I felt compelled to send out this tweet.

Then I commented about how much I liked the Devo version and then this caused @shelholtz and @steveology to chime in. With @shelholtz digging up three more versions.

I’ve assembled many more versions, with the original first, here for you to sample. Enjoy. I think we’re in agreement with Spears’ version being the worst and Samantha Fox running a close second. But after The Rolling Stones, who do you think has the best version of “Satisfaction?”

Aretha Franklin

Otis Redding

Adam Lambert, American Idol

    a) Cool!  b) Can you edit these into one video so they each do a bit of the song?

    Yeah, I could edit them all into one big song, but I'd rather spend my editing time working on a video of my son, rather than editing Britney Spears and Samantha Fox together. :)

    Shatner…. just not quite sure what to say.  Guess that's why the annoying music show was created http://www.npr.org/series/1934…

    Didn't Jim Nabors ever record a version?

    PJ Harvey and Bjork did a great cover of that song too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

    Cassia Eller + Edson Cordeiro made a very good combination
