First hear of DEVO in ‘77-‘78 and at the time they were considered super hardcore punk. Guys with shaved heads listened to them. DEVO actually ushered in the New Wave of music and lead us away from disco. So incredible then and now.
Uh... I believe on the studio recording (and this video) the drums were a synthesizer/beat machine. Still a great fun song but not so much a drum/percussion accomplishment;)
Been listening to DEVO since 1980. So underrated. stellar musicians.
...man....One of the best shows I ever was front row in Houston back in the early 80's.... Miss this band!!...
I'm so glad people have such easy access to DEVO videos nowadays
Devo rocks! They are wierd to some but to me they are one of the most cool bands in the world!

Indeed. "Whip It" was sure one of the early ones to hit mainstream top 40. Don't forget though, The Cars and Gary Numan hit mainstream before Devo
Imo, Devo more new wave than punk, wtf, these labels are meaningless 😏
The drums are so tight in this track.

Ok mate.
Alan Myers was a great drummer.

Most of any of those girls in the gallery here is 'the girl I want'...incredible, I'd never be bored, guarenteed.. Robert at 68.
89k only wtf!?
I love how Mark chooses the least sustainable dance move.
This is what happens when accountants have instruments , love it !!! True story ...
I didn't know about this song til I heard it in the Tank Gurl movie soundtrack..I love it
If you miss Devo, check out a Japanese band called Polysics. I just started watching their vids and they're scary similar to Devo.
Great album
So the Energy Dome isn't just colored red. I didn't know that.
DEVO FTW
80's was so good and FUN !
I love how he opens the curtain showing the fat guy exercising and drinking a milkshake

You can always slap "classic" on the label = Classic New Wave. Sort of oxymoronic but even a chimp could get it.
genuinely can't tell if the tape was messed up or if it's meant to look like this lol

Devo
"Girl U Want"
Freedom Of Choice
Warner Bros. Records, 1980
listen to the lyrics
I wonder if they like Polysics.. I'm pretty sure all the women fall for the guys of that group XD alien girls I mean :P
@MrGer64 Well, I'm not sure you could call Devo new wave now cause they earen't so new today. Might have to make up a new term for them.
Are you aware that New York isn't new anymore? Bound by such logic, I suppose we'll have to rename a whole lot of things.
Search egg punk
the black teen are playing "breakdance"
Soungarden covered this song in the 90s on an "album"
Elton montelo wants his style back.. biters
I love DEVO but why is the crowd all white girls and there is a black girl on stage? Love the music
Actually the girl breakdancer is the hottest one in the video. Her legs are Dynamite.
Waitress 👀
Better then your band
And this was a flop!!!
