[Likeaperv]

I love your eyes :3

[nancyeFerguson]

thank you soooo much!! it was such a labor of love and a joy to do !

[jckaluv]

Well, I'll tell ya, I don't feel any smarter after having just watched that, but I do feel a lot cooler! I especially loved the awesome graveyard surprise ending!! I'm pretty sure this is one of the best videos uploaded on YouTube.

WHAT THE HELL I JUST WATCHED?!

[raluboon]

This is great. I wish I could find the CD somewhere.

[ppgoldfogey]

In 1989 I lucked out and tuned in one of MTV's progressive video shows when they were playing this excellent song. I was only able to get the last 2/3's or so of the song on my VCR, and I am so happy that it's posted on YouTube so after all these years I can enjoy the vhole song and video!

Can you tell me if the complete lyrics to "Trilobites" are posted anywhere on the Internet and, if so, where I might find them?

Thanks!

hi--LMK if you find a DVD --i'd love to have that too!!

thanks for the support!!

[macvalle]

Hi, I'll let you know if I'll find one! ...All seven episodes were aired in Finland back in the beginning of nineties. I enjoyed it back then very much and still do! Brings fond memories. All the best! Cheers!

[macvalle]

Greetings from Finland! I found this clip when I was searching clips of On The Air! I managed to purchase a used copy of OTA on VHS overseas. Haven't got a copy of it on DVD just yet (may be very rare).

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

This is my start-the-day song! I was lovin' it and suddenly recognized your "special hands"!! And, I play it too much on my radio show. I say, during the rest, "Where are they now?" and the Visiting Kids sing out "They're all dead today!" I'll put the "Bob" silliness up very soon, and I'll send it right away...great to hear from you, too.

[nancyeFerguson]

Thanks!! I loved performing in that subgenious event!! that was so fun!! great to hear from you!! do you have a clip of that?? xx nancye

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

Thanks a lot...now, I can't this funny song out of my head!!!!  And, Nancye was writing "Slack" on the blackboard when I shot "Bob" in 1985....."they're all dead today"....but they now have a song.

[nancyeFerguson]

[nancyeFerguson]

i will ask jeff levy who wrote the song--i'd like to get a copy too!

[warrlokk1]

Nancye, were you ever able to find a video clip of United States of Beat? Did you perform the entire song for the film or just a fraction of it? I keep hoping the film will make it to DVD so my children can watch it.

[nancyeFerguson]

i do have a video copy--i will have to transfer it and post it--i promise it's on my list to do!! thanks!! nancye

[warrlokk1]

I would like to find the song United State of Beat from Rockula but have not been able to find it. Anyone know where I can?

[cereza699]

I want this song but i can't find it : (

[fredpcdotcom]

I have The Visiting Kids on vinyl. I have always enjoyed the DEVO-influenced tunes. Thanks Nancye you have earned many favorites on my channel!

[nancyeFerguson]

thanks!!!!

[DRUGMONSTER]

that's trippy.

[evorr55]

Cool, I am recommending this site to my 10 yr. old niece who is learning guitar.

[nancyeFerguson]

i love that!

[nancyeFerguson]

they are all grown up!!..scarlett the youngest is doing music and lives in paris.

[evorr55]

Oh this is fun, I'm with cashflagg and remember seeing it late at night and loving it. It's so nice to see it again. Are the little girls all grown up and playing music now?

[chopsnslams]

I actually have a the cd with this song. Great to finally see the video. "Cindy is a Crybaby" is another great song.

Been looking for "United State of Beat" from the movie "ROCKULA" but it was never released on an album.

Great singer and actress here!!

[nancyeFerguson]

Thanks a bunch!!!!

[nancyeFerguson]

Thanks!!

[StoryTroy]

Alas, poor trilobites... terrible they couldn't stick around long enough to bask in the glory of this video. Pretty nifty!

[steveasat2]

Dear god, she's as cute as her voice! I kinda suspected. Found this long ago on the Radio Tokyo Tapes Volume 4. A few of the lyrics have been eluding me for...whoa, almost 20 years.

[flyingscience]

This video needs more info in the description , little bit of science imagery little bit of little girls with lipstick

[geckoinpdx]

This song has been stuck in my head for over 15 years...a million thanks for posting this and proving that yes, it really did exist! I first saw this on Cutting Edge Happy Hour, I think, sandwiched between Throwing Muses and Concrete Blonde...way back when.

[cashflagg]

Now this is why the internet was created....

I've had a notion of this song swim through my mind every so often, thinking it was just a hallucinatory moment from coming home at 3 a.m. and turning on "Night Flight."

It's real...and just as charming as I half-remembered.

[nancyeFerguson]

so glad!!!

[faferna]

What a cute video!!! I read about it some years ago but I saw it for the first time just now!!!

Anyway, TheLittleDevil asked If you was a femme DEVO and there is a DEVO's daugther in this clip too. Isn't it?

God bless you,

Fabio - Brazil.

[nancyeFerguson]

yes!! i'm a femme DEVO and Alex mothersbaugh is the blonde that goes crosseyed in the video who is Bob 1 of DEVO's daughter.

have FUN!

[flyingscience]

Am I the only trilobite collector scratching my head ? Can I see the lyrics of this song?

I have nerdy science trilobite videos to watch on You Tube!

[DEVOSpudess101]

This song is really catchy!

I might be singing this all week. lol

What year was this made?

[nancyeFerguson]

love that ! around 1988....

[weenielongus]

Thanx for officially posting this!! I remember posting your video about a year ago, when you responded by saying "That's MY video! Do I know you?" I got a little worried, because I was posting my favorite kinda videos, but felt so much better when you said it was OK!! Anyway, that account was suspended, so it's great to see the whole, clear video!! I'll bet the song will be stuck in my head again for the next few days?!?...

[nancyeFerguson]

i hope so!

[fdosdesign]

Nancye.. Oh thank you so much for posting this! As a cronic Devo fan I been searching so long for any visiting kids stuff LOL.

[nancyeFerguson]

thanks for the support!

[Polysics2nd]

Amazing!! odd, "Devo" and it made me look up Trilobites to learn more about them. Could you post a little history of this project?

[TheLittleDevil]

Femme Devos?

[nancyeFerguson]

yes I (nancye)was a femme DEVO!

[nancyeFerguson]

Thanks! "On The Air" is one of my all time favorite jobs!!
