Alternative cover | ||||
"Satisfaction" is a song by Italian DJ Benny Benassi. It was released in Italy in June 2002 as the lead single from his album Hypnotica . Using MacinTalk,the song's vocals consist of two speech synthesizers,one male and one female,repeatedly saying "Push me and then just touch me 'til I can get my satisfaction". The track was Benassi's debut single and most successful song,peaking at number two in the United Kingdom and earning a gold certification in Australia,Belgium,France,and the United States. As of August 2014,it was the 54th best-selling single of the 21st century in France,with 382,000 units sold. [2]
"Satisfaction" is considered to be the forerunner of electro house that brought the genre into the mainstream. [3]
Benassi stated that the inspiration for “Satisfaction”came from his personal experiences as a DJ and the desire to create a track that would connect with people on a deeper level. He aimed to capture the feeling that occurs on the dance floor when the music takes control and unites a crowd as one. Benassi explained that the identifying melody of the song was brought to him by his cousin Alle Benassi:"When my cousin came to the studio after his tour in Tunisia,he played me a bunch of notes." Alle told DJ Mag :"When I was in Tunisia I was playing the clarinet in my room and there was a traffic jam under the street. And it fixed a bunch of notes into my brain". Following the composition of the instrumental they needed a vocal part,but according to Benassi "getting a vocalist" in Italy wasn't easy,so he "tried with this vocoder". [4] Additionally,the song draws influence from electronic and techno music that was popular during the early 2000s.[ citation needed ] The track is in the key of B major and plays at 130 beats per minute. [5]
The first version of the music video features the three men and the woman on the cover of Hypnotica . It consists of one three-second take of the four people turning to face the camera and smile,played in slow-motion to match the length of the song. Overlaid are various animations including close-up pictures of the lips of a man and a woman singing along to the song. This music video was barely played on music channels,although in some countries,it replaced the "construction" version.
The second version of the music video features women in skimpy construction outfits. The video plays almost as a musical advertisement for a variety of power tools. All are used in a sexual manner. This version was mainly relegated to nighttime hours. It stars British lad mag models Jerri Byrne,Rachel Hallett,Thekla Roth and Natasha Mealey,American Playboy Playmate Suzanne Stokes and British Page 3 girl model turned porn star and escort [6] Lena Franks.
In 2008,men from Viborg,Denmark,got together to re-enact the music video with middle-aged men. [7] It gained some popularity in Denmark and was covered on TV. [8]
On the International Women's Day in 2011,the women's associations of the General Federation of Belgian Labour and Socialistische Partij Anders released a "Granny Remake" of the original video. It was made to raise awareness of the gender pay gap by showing the scantily clad women still working the same jobs at 60–70 years of age. [9]
In late 2017,cadets at Russia's Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation marked the end of their term by making a parody of the video that drew on a similar parody four years earlier by British soldiers. [10] Wearing just their uniform caps and ties,belts worn around their shoulders,underwear (with the crotches stuffed) and black boots,the cadets twerked,gyrated suggestively,performed maintenance tasks and cleanup in a fashion similar to the video as the cameraman moved from one to the other in their dormitory. The video,which soon went viral,had strong homoerotic elements and suggestions of BDSM culture. [10]
Officials at the institute,described as the oldest and most prestigious pilot training school in Russia,were furious,particularly since the cadets had used school property and worn their uniform caps. Sergey Krasov,the institute's director,said:"If they had joked like that at home,nobody would have batted an eyelid." [11] Shortly after the video became a subject of national discussion, [12] the Federal Air Transport Agency convened a commission to investigate the video and identify the cadets,believed to be in their first year at the institute,who had made it. "Frivolous dances in underwear with the uniform cap of the Institute covering the face on the grounds of the aviation university are unacceptable" the agency said. Any cadets it found to be involved could face expulsion. [13]
While some prominent Russian commentators expressed similar outrage on government-run television channels,many more sympathized with the cadets,and made videos of their own in support of them. Most were from other groups of students at trade schools for farmers,construction workers and emergency services,but the Russian women's biathlon team also made one. A Ukrainian swim club filmed part of its video underwater,and a group of retired women living in a St. Petersburg communal apartment contributed their own. Russian American journalist Masha Gessen wrote in The New Yorker that the videos were an unexpected and widespread protest against the state's anti-LGBT policies. "Each clip is at once a show of solidarity with a group of young strangers and a show of ordinary people’s ability to organize and act together—an ability that the state would seem to have stamped out." [12]
"Satisfaction" is credited for playing a pivotal role in shaping the electronic music scene and solidifying Benny Benassi’s status as a leading figure in the genre. The song’s success opened doors for both Benassi and the genre as a whole,bringing electronic music further into the mainstream and gaining recognition from a broader audience. [14] "Satisfaction" is also considered to be the forerunner of electro house that brought the genre into the mainstream. [15]
