Satisfaction (I can't get no) The Rolling Stones DANIELO Marin RABALLAND Thomas

"Satisfaction (I can't get no)" The Rolling Stones

Hi guys! Today we will talk you about a very popular song made by The Rolling Stones : Satisfaction. This single was realised and published on their album Out of Our Heads in 1965, it's a great succes.

Context : 

The sixties are the beginning of a consumer society, in which everybody needs to have new objects, like a "car", "TV" or "radio", which is denounced in the song.
But that is not all. When Mick Jagger says "He's tellin' me more and more/About some useless information", he want to accuse brainwashing, used by the governement to controle people.

With this brainwashing, anyone cannot get any satisfation. The sentence "I can't get no satisfaction" is repeat 10 times : it shows us that , even if we are powerfull, rich (I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that"), the way to be satisfied is blocked by the new society.
In fact, the only way to get satisfaction come from far away : only this informations "fire my imagination", that's to say to can be satisfied.

We can also talk about the white shirts. This ad tells people to be White, and so to be opposed to Black americans. But this difference is satirised, when Jagger says that he does his diffenrence with the cigarettes smoked.

In conclusion, we can say that this song, by denounced new consumer society, and brainwashing, is a protest song.

Lyrics :
[Chorus]
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

When I'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
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

[Chorus]

When I'm watchin' my TV
And that man comes on to tell 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

[Chorus]

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back later next week
'Cause you see I'm on 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) satisfaction
