Got It Covered: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction


Original video located here. Accessed 30th December 2019

Song title: (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

Artist: Cat Power

Originally Done By: Rolling Stones

Year: 2000

Why I like this song:

As mentioned previously, the best kind of cover is the one that makes the original unrecognisable. And this is a stellar example of that notion. Indeed, it took me ages before I realised this was a Rolling Stones cover. 
Indeed, take away the most distinctive moments of the original, the chorus and the guitar riff, and you have to work hard with what's left. And here, it works wonders.
