Devo - Jerkin' Back 'N' Forth (Fridays 1982)

This is not from the Fridays episode - that was live. This is a lip synced performance from a cheesy show called solid gold.

These guys should appear on The Big Bang Theory. We all should play this song when "our" Congress reconvenes after they all enjoy a taxpayer's funded Christmas holiday 2011.

I liked Fridays. Michael Richards as Battleboy was over the top. Mark Blankfield's druggist was insane! SNL was the best back then, as well. The lyrics to this tune are pure truth -- a scathing indictment of both political parties in America over the past one-hundred years.

I agree, Fridays had funny sketches & cool bands ..superior sound too!

[mickeymousebiker1]

@Zanniroxwell Fridays was a great counter to SNL (which was hilarious in its first two seasons). I also recall some of the bands on that show (DEVO being one, Jefferson Starship, for another). Personally, I like Jefferson Airplane a lot better!

It's a wonder I can still hear after spending my high school years listening to this cranked up in the old impala.

This isn't from the "FRIDAYS" tv show. This is from "Solid Gold" a cheesy show where all the bands had to lip-sync.

Lip sync performance.
