“I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” is a famous song by The Rolling Stones. It’s grammatically incorrect, but sounds great in the song! Songs don’t have to follow language rules.
I can’t get satisfaction is grammatically correct, but it’s not a famous song. 😀

The Rolling Stones had a song called I Can’t Get No Satisfaction, but it’s not correct grammar because it has a double negative (can’t & no).
It’s a slang way to strongly say “I can’t get any satisfaction.”

@crossroads67 “I can’t get no satisfaction” is grammatically incorrect and should never be used. Can’t and no are both negatives, so it breaks the rule of double negatives (you cannot have two negatives because the second negative negates the first, basically meaning I cannot possibly be un satisfied). “I can’t get satisfaction” is grammatically correct, but does not sound normal in everyday speech. Saying sometime like “I’m not satisfied” is much more natural.
