Today’s song of the day is an English rock song, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” by The Rolling Stones.

Fun Facts:

“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” was written by band members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in 1965.
The song’s opening guitar riff is considered by many in the music industry to be one of the greatest hooks in the history of rock.
“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” was initially released as a single and later included in the band’s American release of their studio album Out of Our Heads.
The song was extremely successful and provided The Rolling Stones with their first hit to reach number one in the U.S. and U.K. simultaneously.
At the time of its release, there was some pushback by people who thought the lyrics were overtly sexual and distasteful. This pushback, however, was short-lived.
Rolling Stone Magazine listed the song at number 31 on their official list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Even today, many decades after its release, it is still considered to be one of the most popular songs in the world.

Lyrics:

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 driving in my car

When a man come on the radio

He’s telling 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

‘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 watchin’ my TV

And a man comes on and tells me

How white my shirts can be

But, he can’t be a man ’cause he doesn’t smoke

The same cigarettes as me

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 girl reaction

‘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 ridin’ ’round the world

And I’m doin’ this, and I’m signin’ that

And I’m tryin’ to make some girl, who tells me

Baby, better come back maybe next week

Can’t you see I’m on a losing streak?

I can’t get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey

That’s what I say

I can’t get no, I can’t get no

I can’t get no satisfaction, no satisfaction

No satisfaction, no satisfaction

I can’t get no
