One of my favorite cover songs... Devo doing the Rolling Stones' I Can't Get No Satisfaction in 1978. Becky and I were listening to one of my extensive cover version mixes the past couple of days and we had a discussion on the pros and cons of cover songs. My covers mix collection has nearly 1,200 songs and I could probably add quite a few more. They are all from my iTunes collection on my hard drive.
Today I saw this New Yorker article from 2017 in my FB feed. They must have heard me and Becky talking about cover songs. I especially liked the description of Mick Jagger when he first heard Devo's version.

Here is Devo performing Satisfaction on Saturday Night Live in 1978.
