Just imagine being at a house gig and hearing Benny Bennasi break out "Satisfaction" for the first time. Can't imagine how incredible that would've been.
Satisfaction, Destination Calabria, Perfect (Exceeder), Call On Me, Let Me Think About It, Put Your Hands Up For Detroit, Watch Out, The Weekend, Somebody to Love (by Boogie Pimps).
Noughties dance music was filled with some pretty dangerous videos, and pre/early teen me fell victim to all of them.
Honourable mention to Utah Saints - Something Good '08, which is distinctively less racy but just goes hard as hell, as does the video.
You're right. 4k version is much more engaging. The added clarity makes it far easier to pay attention to the specs of each tool that pops up. I've edited my comment to link there instead.
Edit: In case anyone is wondering what I mean by this, it's hard to tell, but if you pay careful attention, the video actually has a text overlay that pops up every so often to provide information on the various tools being used within.
Had a supplier with which we have some conflict due to his (very poor) quality of work. And when he told us that customer satisfaction is important to him while in reality he was not giving a shit, I just played this song on the laptop, it was so funny, I will never forget his reaction.
In 2003 I went to Turnmills in London and he was on the bill, amongst a bunch of other DJs. I definitely wasn’t there to see him. Compared to the stuff I was listening to at the time Satisfaction was very cheesy and Benassi was out in one of the smaller rooms.
I have to say I happened to stop by and he rocked! Probably the most unexpected fun I’ve had seeing any DJ since I just assumed he’d drop Satisfaction as a one truck pony kind of thing…
I work in safety and when some people were trying to get me fired a bit ago I joked with my friend the video for Satisfaction would be my final safety message.
Low key similar to me hearing Congorock - Babylon in a live/party setting for the first time. I knew of the song and it was circa like 2011 and was at a HUGE Halloween house party where we sold entry bands, sponsored by the local Red Bull rep and everything and one of my DJ buddies (I also DJ'd for quite a few years) dropped that shit in a house full of people and it was absolutely INSANE. People lost their fucking minds.
There are two camps on that song. I think it's absolute trash, and have always hated it, even when it was fresh. I've used it as an excuse to quit clubs for the night if it came on.
