Since Mick said it to me whilst we were both waiting for our cars outside the Beverley Wilshire Hotel in the 60s - no, sadly no independent verification; so you'll just have to accept my delusional (not to mention perverted) account.

Yes, it's a cover; a cover of a cover. Tritons did their cover in Italy in 1970, internationally released in 1973. That and this start out the exact same way (Tritons' goes rock near the end). King is cool, but everyone should check out Tritons' "Rock Around The Clock", also on the Satisfaction album; it's FUN! yeah

[VilePervert]

@zfloid44 No; Tritons copied my version; note for note - as they did my version of Rock - both from the Bubblerock Is Here To Stay album.

Autographs come free!

Translation Doug please (I don't think I know any Welsh speakers!)

[VilePervert]

Which, being translated from Estonian (I have many friends) means...

"This brings back very happy memories of Jonathan King's work from the 1970s. It's so unlike the Rolling Stones version. Someone told me that this 'Satisfaction' was on a British programme called Top Of The Pops." "Where can I buy the hat!" ?

[Jovolution]

Yeah, cool lovely version

[KINGROOSTER45]

how can i pay you for an autograph Mr King?

[yesyouam]

I don't know, King. I'm torn between your cover and Devo's cover for the definitive version of this tune.

[PAULLONDEN]

Catchy...Jagger was being cynical ofcourse. Since then there've been new kids on the block,called DEVO,who'se 1979 version is almost as good as The Stones'.

[trashcanalive]

Is there any evidence, independent of King's delusional (not to mention perverted) imagination, that Jagger said this was 'the best after the Rolling Stones'? No, I thought not.

[gummboote]

If P.F Sloan had done a version it might sound like this.

[zfloid44]

I not only love this, I eagerly look forward to hearing King's "Rock Around The Clock"! yeah

[zfloid44]

@VilePervert OK, I may be corrected. Here To Stay was out in 1972, but was Tritons' Satisfaction not from 1970? Genesis lives. yeah

[pinchold]

when i first heard Jonathan King sing "Satisfaction" it cracked me up. Come to think of it what is a satisfaction? Nothing to be bothered about. And that's what he must have in mind - making The rolling Stones (my favourite group) morons. Because they were angry singing their song and Jonathan King doesn't care a fig.
