Well, I’ll be a monkey’s bare-assed uncle. All this time I thought Otis Redding did the original version of “Satisfaction.”

Only idea - maybe you confused that with the fact that Otis wrote Respect but then Aretha turned it into her song? Or am I being whooshed?

Keef legendarily wrote the hook riff and chorus by recording it into a reel-to-reel in his hotel room and then falling asleep. When he rewound the tape he couldn’t remember doing it but liked it enough to turn it over to Mick for some lyrics, but not so much that he was pleased when it was picked to be the single.
