  • In this video we're listening to Devo. We were missing out on this for too long. We needed some DEVO. We don't know nearly enough from this band, who are said to be legend in the music world. Let's get to know DEVO. Enjoy!

      ​@@Sandy-dd4le A brilliant cover indeed. Mark Mothersbaugh's delivery of the lyrics gives you the intense feeling of an extremely anxious man overwhelmed and almost drowning in the face of consumerism......you can almost touch and smell his desperation.

    I'd also like to request a reaction to Wire "Map Ref. 41 Degrees N 93 Degrees W" from the "154" album. It's a pop song, don't worry! I have to say I'm a sucker for reaction vids, if they're honest. To see you two boppin' along, and your ironic appreciation of Be Bop Deluxe brings a smile to my face! Not because they weren't great, but that band and Bill Nelson himself are dreadfully underrated by an audience that should have swallowed it up when it first arrived. Keep up the good work and good luck with Wire.

    Obviously based on Misty Mountain Hop but since Led Zep were notorious for 'borrowing' other people's music it probably comes from something much older.

    One of my favourite bands ever.
    Some people think of them as a joke band, they actually have a detailed manifesto on how mankind is DEVOlving. Based largely on the murder of students by Guardsman at Kent State University in 1970. At which, Devo member Gerald Casale was actually present (as was Chryssie Hynde of The Pretenders), two of the dead were Casale's friends. He,"stopped being a hippie kid and got angry" And Devo was born.
    Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy has always been my favourite !
    Anyone have kids that were an age to watch Rugrats? Mark Mothersbough of Devo wrote the music! And to dozens of largely animated films you've all seen....Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs etc etc

    Nice video. I think the riff you're musing on (the riff heard before) is the theme song from "The Banana Splits" TV show. "Tra la la", if I recall.

    • @hanierfamily
      @hanierfamily  9 місяців тому

      We've never heard it, or even knew The Banana Splits show even existed. According to UA-cam, the show ended in 1970, 2 years before I (Chris) even existed. Still, we heard that sound before. Perhaps it found it's way to us somewhere. We have no recollection of the show, though.

      Try the Liz Phair version. The first half of the riff is "Uncontrollable Urge," something like a I-VI-V. There's probably a billion songs that have a similar chord progression. Of a similar note, did you ever notice the similarity between the synth part in the chorus" of Devo's "The Day My Baby Gave me a Surprize" and the electronic percussion in the Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way"? You guys can stomach a lot of different types of pop music, try that one sometime, maybe!

    I don't know many Devo songs myself, but this is one of them, and there's also another great live version (including a silly intro) from a US TV show called 'Fridays' 😀👍
    There had been quite an interesting Devo cover version plus an even *more* interesting video clip of Johnny Rivers' 'Secret Agent Man' on YT a while ago, but sadly, I can't find it anymore 😭
    Would've been perfect for a 'Who Did It Better?' episode, too! 😀👍 But there's also always 'Take This Job And Shove It', the Johnny Paycheck original versus the Dead Kennedys' cover version 😁

    I may have recommended this one to you already, I dunno. (I'm getting forgettable in my old age.)
    Anyhoo, check out the album "Listen To the Silence" by THE DOLL (UK 1979). The Doll achieved one-in-wonder status in England with "desire me". Their lone LP is a BEAUTIFUL and well-crafted collection of post-punk New Wave pop songs. Sadly NO ONE bought that album when it came out, making its title prophetic! Still, give it a chance- it is my second-favorite UK post-punk album (right after Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures")...

    There was a double live compilation called "Urgh A Music War" which was also a live video from various places with one or two tracks from each band. You would probably like it if you can find it on here. It has artists like The Au Pairs, The Police, XTC and The Cramps. There was a later expanded release that had a few extra racks on it but I only had the standard version. This track is late 70s rather than 80s but I think the lp/Video went out in 80.
