Cover Versions and Samples
Otis Redding recorded a rendition of "Satisfaction" for his album Otis Blue, 1965. Otis claimed that he did not know the lyrics of the song, saying: "I use a lot of words different than the Stones' version," Redding noted. "That's because I made them up." Redding's soul-style arrangement featured horns playing the main riff, as Keith Richards had originally intended. Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for their 1990 television special Rockin' Through the Decades and its corresponding soundtrack. In 2003, Ronnie Wood noted that The Rolling Stones' later concert renditions of the number reflect Redding's interpretation. French singer Eddy Mitchell released his version in November 1965 with Big Jim Sullivan and Jimmy Page on guitars. Manfred Mann released a cover version of the song on their 1967 album, The Soul of Mann. Jerry Lee Lewis released a version that can be found on the album The Complete London Sessions, Vol. 1. Frankie Ruiz recorded the song in salsa which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Latin Tropical Airplay chart. Jonathan King recorded a very different version on his Bubblerock album; released as a single in 1974 it was a Top 20 UK hit and sold 250,000 copies. Blue Cheer released a version of the song on their album, Outsideinside.
A 12 minute cover of the song under the title "Wild Satisfaction" is included in Taste of Conium, the 2nd album by Socrates Drank the Conium, a Greek rock band of the 70s.

Famous quotes containing the words cover, versions and/or samples:
“I wouldn’t pray just for a old man that’s dead because he’s all right. If I was to pray, I’d pray for the folks that’s alive and don’t know which way to turn. Grampa here, he ain’t got no more trouble like that. He’s got his job all cut out for him. So cover him up and let him get to it.”
—Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
