Music video

The first video clip shot for the song reached to a cult status because the video clip includes a single shot of Benny Benassi and The Biz, replicating the "Hypnotica" album cover, turn in slow-motion to face the camera with a smile. The first clip didn't get much attention, so Benny Benassi decided to prepare another video clip for Satisfaction. This time, an erotic theme was used. They used sexy female dancers to perform on a stage that looks like a construction site where the dancers are shown as workers, with very strong emphasis on their lips, breasts, and buttocks, using phallic power and hand tools in a very sexy manner. The new clip, directed by Dougal Wilson, helped the song to reach to the peak position at dance music charts.

The lyrics consist entirely of "Push me and then just touch me till I can get my Satisfaction", with satisfaction, in this context, meant to be seen as erotic sexual pleasure. Every image in the music video is meant to stimulate the lower base emotions, such as one towards the end where one of the girl blows a bubble with her bubble gum (a phallic representation of a blowjob.)
