Devo - The Words Get Stuck In My Throat - 1978 - France

[MrTrty5]

God forbid music be something other than an ego trip, right spuds? At least, that's the vibe I'm getting from all these pro-braindeath PINKS!!!!!!!!!

[brianfizzy101]

Booji Boy is my favorite singer of all time.

He's the only member of DEVO who hasn't aged a bit.

He should do a solo record.

[chrispycritter2]

Rock on Booji Boy!

[CallofaNightbird1995]

What in the hell??? The original sucked and they made it 1000x worse! People honestly paid to see this train wreck??? This is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. I'm very sorry if I'm offending anyone, but this is just so awful I couldn't keep silent.

[chrispycritter2]

Booji boy loves Bieber fans because they are the sheep among the shepards, as General Boy would say! Unite spuds!

hamilton is waaaaaay better than this masked justin bieber sex crawling ( and probably farting peeuuuuuu) on stage :Р he makes me wanna puke (:-P

[19nisey69]

Not bad, but Hamilton did it much better in War of the Gargantuas.

[tontolomeo]

justin bieber suck my dick

[BoysKeepSwingin2]

DEVO is an absolute great band. There's no band in the world that can resemble this band. Their theory: going back to basics. This is 'Booji Boy' singing, the character from one of DEVO's first songs Mongoloid. U gotta have humor and some feeling for art to understand this. They're practicing Dadaism

[bps3013]

Thumbs up if you know that this is a cover of Kipp Hamilton's lounge performance tune of the same name in the 1966 Toho Kaiju masterpiece "War of the Gargantuas"!

[sabinoson]

@bps3013 Yes! At an SF Godzilla film festival, Russ Tamblyn told a story about how, when he met Devo, they told him that they sang a song from one of his films. He thought they meant "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" or "West Side Story", but they said, no, "War of The Gargantuas!" LOL!

[Velocity9s]

I have to admit that this SUX. I really wish the words WOULD get stuck in his throat...

[Jonee90210]

Justin Bieber fans hate Devo.

[jaxv94]

i hate devo

[IDFrules]

DEVO ROCKS and Seinfeld is still so fucking funny even after countless reruns

[Acquisto]

ppl paid to see these talentless assholes??

[dinosaurjr420]

@Acquisto Oh yeah! And having Jerry Seinfeld in your favorites doesn't make you hypocritical at ALL... How do you define talent?

[Acquisto]

@dinosaurjr420 well i sure dont define it as some bumbling idiot in a mask wailing in some awful falsetto. I think talented musicians are those that make contributions to their industry, people that cant be replaced. People with unique voices and abilities such as Axl Rose or Eddie Van Halen, the ones whose music will live on forever. That is talent.

And what does me liking Seinfeld have to do with anything?

[Clocksworthbunnie]

@Acquisto What's wrong with just having some fun with music? I hardly doubt that Devo was taking this cover so seriously- or else then a "girly" voice would not have been used, but instead his normal one.

Devo does have talent, and they have enough of it to the point where they can get away with jokes like this. Personally, I don't think that ANYONE can replace Devo. I've never heard any other band who sounds anything like them.

[edisonmonstera]

@Acquisto "People with unique voices and abilities such as Axl Rose or Eddie Van Halen"

LOL

[fuckamericanidiot]

@Acquisto this isn't unique?

[jaxv94]

@Acquisto i know right!!!!

[rbairos1]

A little bit of 'Werewolves of London' sneaking through there, or maybe it was the other way around.

[skiffmanmike]

I have indisputable Proof that boogie boy is actually Mark wearing a mask. Finger print evidence does'nt lie Mark. Thanks for the autograph!

We're All Devo!!!

[NBM3]

Lovely vibrato.

[Gjeorje]

-We love you booji! -Now, can I get an extra large fries & a diet coke with that?

[axecalibore]

It was a touch of genius for Devo to perform this fascinatingly crummy song from War of the Gargantuas, but as dbzsamuele120 points out, it's funnier when you just do it straight. Trying to make it sound bad on purpose is a mistake. It's when you try to make it sound as good as possible that you realize what a funny awful song it is.

[UncleFloe]

Equally genius that you made that connection.  I think it was an original composition for "Gargantuas", which is even more bizarre. Check out the vid for Hevy Floe's "War of the Gargantuas".

[rocwatch]

*Sigh*

We're all De-Vo

<3

[dbzsamuele120]

Kipp Hamilton sings it better.

[jamesbluntslunts]

i dont know, i like this one....
