Greatest cover of a hit song ever. I really believe it's never been topped. And I'm not even a big DEVO fan.

I love that Mick Jagger dug it so much. It's a truly unique take on the song but one made out of love for it. I like to think that it made perfect sense to an approving Jagger.

According to Jerry, as it turns out, Elliot Roberts (Devo's manager at the time) called ahead of the meeting and told Jagger to approve of it regardless of what he actually thought, because he would make bank on the royalty checks.

@@zhiracs Of course I am looking at it retrospectively and with a deep love for both versions but I would like to think that Mick, with all the variations in sounds that the Stone's went through, would have found Devo's version great despite Roberts' intervention.

@@eti313, he was at the very early days, he departed the band for a career in electronics. Cannot recall which documentary source I heard it from. Might be on the band commentary, on the NOW IT CAN BE TOLD d.v.d.. And something unrelated to this video, D-E-V-O has two sets of brothers in the band and are Ohio based. Interestingly enough, the band The National has two sets of brothers and are also Ohio based. Hooray for Mid -West brotherly love !

I've loved Devo since the late 70s. Their social commentary, satire and uniquness, sadly, has never been appreciated IMO. Much of their work was very prophetic. I think their early work holds up remarkably well, and I still viscerally enjoy their music, but I think Mark's has become a myopic tribalist. I think his 1975 self would not appreciate his 2022 self very much. Such is life.
