Mark Mouthersbaugh was a genius. Not only did he write great songs, but he created great soundtracks. Why aren't they in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Baffles me!!!!
@@swilkin4325 Pee Wee just passed away. Paul Reubans gave Mark Moutherbbaugh his first chance at TV music. He went onto become one of best soundtract artist ever!!!
RIP Bob,,so many of our brightest stars, all from the 80s, are passing away, there are no words to describe how much i wish i could turn back time and freeze it...
I remember in college in the early 80's when several of us changed roommates. Back then we couldn't individually afford a record collection, turntable, receiver and speakers so for a while when we went our separate ways 2 of us had no receiver. We rocked out VERY QUIETLY to this song with only the vibration of the needle making any sound. "Nobody breath. I can't hear the music."
Well not really. If they were ahead of their time, you would probably hear a lot of groups with the DEVO sound. But you don't. They were very much a product of their time but doing this unique art punk stuff.
@@mj.l Currently? Not really. At least not anyone doing pop music. I'd like to think that groups like Cake back in the 90's had a real DEVO influence in their sound. But I am old now, so I don't really keep up with modern tastes. The last time I listened to pop music recently it was like South Park episode where all the kids are into Tweenwave and Stan just thinks that it sounds like a cacophony of farts.
Amazing band. First I shunned in the 70's as being "too weird" and then revered in the early 80's. So much change happening in such a small amount of space it was impossible to keep up with. What an incredibly amazing time it was. Grateful.

38 year ago this came out. I was rolling into empty pools I found and chased down streets by cops on my skateboard, life was good after getting out of the military........That don't happen no more.......... The song holds up well and is passed along to my kids( ALL over 20.) and they love it. My daughter thinks it cool that I'm cool, cuz of my music. .........DEVO will be forever! ...........Ftrump!
We miss Robert Edward "Bob" Casale, Jr. and Alan Myers. But three of the originals are still with us. And thankfully, still performing. I've seen them live twice. I am and born and will forever be a spud...
A friend of mine from High School told me a few months ago that this jam was one of the first with "locking" in the video.I countered with Rod Stewart & Gap Band.I watch it all the time now, this song is so freaking cool 😂❤
If Devo came out today they'd still be ahead of their time.
Word❣️
America's finest with B52's and Talking Heads of course
New Wave was so great at its peak. Glad I was there when it was happening.
Yes ,I always put Devo with the B52 's.
i love the b52s!!! theyre my favorite band
And They Might Be Giants have to be added in that list
Hilarious, satirical, and more catchy than the plague. Devo are the best.
Infectious!! On 'loop' and am cleaning the house!!!
This was one of the greatest bands to ever come out of the US and most people never realised it
💯💯💯
One of the many reasons the 80s were fucking awesome. ..

One of the MOST under-rated bands in history!
I am friggin 63 yrs old & fuckin love it!
I would say THE most under-rated band ever ! the music complexity and simplicity is jaw dropping. they are rhythm masters
Oh, they're rated.
idk they seem pretty rated. Their work got Mark multiple jobs doing music for movies and tv. Rugrats, Regular Show, The Lego Movie, Thor: Ragnarok, etc.
YEAHHHHH YOURE RIGHT BOOOOOOYYYY
My 8 year old granddaughter, Zeiah, says " this is a good song..... and funny." 😆😃😲👍🌺
Freedom of Choice is still one of my favorite albums. It's a ton of fun and still sounds great today.
I always preferred Are We Not Men?
includes freedom from Ned Flander's Lefotium
DEVO ROCKS ! ! ! One of the most under rated bands. Saw them summer 1981 in Central Park, NYC. One of THE BEST concerts! They rocked ! ! !
I was born during the summer of 1981. I really wish I could have gone to that concert.
Whey isn't music like this anymore? They deserve to to be in the Hall of Fame!
@@luannabbate2624 check out viagra boys
Idiots claiming every band is underrated
Crazy to think you saw them in 1981.
I saw them in 2023
One of the most underrated punk bands when they first debuted
They weren't punk.
The started in 1972.
They made their own music.
They got booed at times in England sadly.

Check out Secret Agent Man (Devo Awesome!!!)

Agreed
Definitely top 10

obsessed with that crunchy intro riff, proof that any notes work with a good rhythm + i love mark and the gang's robot dances
Just stumbled onto this video after having lost track of this band for 30 yrs. This group has got to be one the most underrated bands in the 80s.
I remember every Peechee folder I got for school I would always draw a Devo hat on the guy running. Awesome times...

Hardly accurate. Devo mostly had a cult following.
She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drips on down in a mist from above
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
You hear her calling everywhere you turn
You know you're headed for the pleasure burn
But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue
She's the real thing but you knew it all along
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
Look at you with your mouth watering
Look at you with your mind spinnin'
Why don't we just admit it's all over
She's just the girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
The girl you want
She's just the girl, she's just the girl
