I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
And he's tellin' 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 say
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no
Before talking about this fantastic song, I have a
confession to make. When I was young and
the Stones were first popular I actively disliked the group – especially Mick
Jagger who I thought was horrible looking (mainly on account of those lips) –
ah, the arrogance of the young…
Back then if you would have told me that over 50 years
later the group would still be hugely popular, and alive and touring, I would
not have believed it for a minute!
Now I appreciate the music and also am grateful to
these guys for seeming to prove that you can live less than healthily and still
keep on keeping on.
Satisfaction
or rather Can't Get No was written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. It
expresses Jagger's frustration with the materialistic world. All this in 1965. I wonder what he thinks about the world
now. If 1965 was materialistic what on
earth are we now?
To see a very young Jagger sing this – head on over to this
YouTube clip.
