Devo - Watch us work it

[hth2mil]

Cooooollllllllllll..



[MyNameIsBucket]

HOW LOW CON YOU GO?

[elderberry9]

Best Devo song since the early 80s!

[delliswierd]

I remeber this from the Dell XPS m1330 Commercials. This is what motivated me to buy it!

[noquarter228]

Devo labled their instaments so that younger generations would know how to make real music. Thank you Devo for educating today's kids that you can make music with something else than a computer.

[TheElisabethPage]

16 people couldn't work it out

[yindyamarra]

should be number 1

[VxO4fame]

lol they did the dell promo? WOW

[PazRainbow]

Awesome!!

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Working in a Coal Mine? No! Working in a factory. OK I get it.

[katyperryfreak15964]

the babe with the black and white hair is pretty hot ;)

[JohnnyScott0]

I not ashame to say I can jam to this!

[patlavert]

Another gem shot from the spudgun by the pioneers who got scalped. Amazing to me that this band mostly have been unknown and unrecognized by the music buying public. Devo dared to be different, something that is largely missing in today's music. The fact that they had the stones to do something different critics be damned is worth a billion "biebers and gagas" in my book.

[PCshenanigans]

@patlavert thank you sir, may i have another

[bobyost42]

@patlavert Damned right!! Different is scary when you are a sheep that needs its opinion provided by tasteless taste- makers.

[chucku00]

Spud Boys RULES ! Will I dare to say the same thing to the girls in the vid ?

[marlboromike2100]

My Christopher Walken-o-meter is going wild, Cowbell..

[JABS991]

when did this come out?

[drsloan]

@JABS991 - It was released as a single in 2007. I bought it on iTunes and it's my favorite song of theirs since 1982. Weird they didn't include it on the standard version of their new album "Something for Everybody." This song is killer!

[epsteinsmutha1]

1:19  Oh, I fancy her!

[TheGrumpy60]

These fellows have impressed me with how they have shown us their politik. I am glad they have a new album out because they were missed by those of us wondering where that voice in our heads went. I love listening to their take on Obama with "Something for Everybody."

[geordiegeorge1]

...WHEW!!! -THEY`RE certainly the lassies with the classy chassis`. -THEY`RE certainly my first "pit stop" for a "lube job" THEIR upholstery certainly wets MY chamois....I`d also like to fuck them.

[Kubrickfan1]

This song is about communism but I love it!!!!

[eliteturtle47]

@Kubrickfan1 how is it about communism?

[Kubrickfan1]

@eliteturtle47 I was just joking, lyrics sound like an anthem for a workers' paradise

[2000vm]

Best US band of all times and ages!

[DIOSANO]

Devo still rocks!!!

[TheWarDog11]

DEVO 4EVER.. One Of The Greatest And Most Original Bands EVER!!

[lisa181988]

14 people can't work it out

[lisa181988]

14 people can't work it out

[Fooblestheclown]

So Devo turned into a bunch of hot chicks who repair engines and fix things? Wonderful!!!

[badunklekirky]

@Fooblestheclown Ain't technology GRAND!!!

[Fooblestheclown]

@badunklekirky ....this band is way ahead of it's time.

[sanspoint]

@01godkiller The original TV ad and downloadable single came out in 2007. The 12" EP came out in 2008, and it was put out as a bonus track on the new album just this year (2010).

[mtldemon6]

Love Devo to fucking death, but I'm really not feeling the whole "sampling the drums from "The Super Thing" idea."

[sydferret]

bringing the cowbell forward, Ra bless them.

[DEAN766]

i still say that devo's "what we do" is their best new song!...this can be second. haha

[mznewyorker15]

i guess that's how they make a dell laptop

[Khultan]

 Damn, Devo : )

[cardcityrocker]

That asian lady sounds like Mark Mothersbaugh!

[Hollandia777]

@cardcityrocker

No, no - that's M. Mothersbaugh himself! Wearin' "Asian Lady" masque then....

[schlagzeile01]

I didn´t even know them until I read an article in a german music magazine!

I really liked the idea of the whole band concept,so I started looking up their songs and I must say...HOLY SHIT...I LOVE THIS MUSIC!!!

I think they´re all around 60 now,but they have more power than over 30 years ago!

Just 1 word...IMPRESSIVE!!!

Hope They´ll play in germany soon!

[hummmer11]

thanks to me this song has exactly 500 likes, but it deserves more

[theatrefan1991]

i'm addicted to this song. i love it!

[curvehead66]

Love the metal fingers at 2:08

[JargonMcScruffy]

How Low Con You Go?

[nrage40]

This kicks asses!

[honnie0]

the video and song version they did for Yo Gabba Gabba! is better.

[digijock223]

Freaking unbelievably awesome. This is as tight and polished as anything I could have expected from them THIRTY years ago. Except the video quality is 50x better ;-) Fantastic.

I also cannot stop hitting "replay" on this...

[capturedevice62]

they old as balls

[KronnangDunn]

@capturedevice62 ...and rock better than most kids these days...

[Indygodcd]

@capturedevice62 not sure you can say that till yours drop.

[capturedevice62]

@Indygodcd simply stating a fact, i like them but they were like 40 when they released their album before the current one plus theyve aged considerably, and im 20 years old, not so sure about you on the other hand, sadly i agree with kronnangdunn here

[thereagauze]

DancingSpiderman is living proof of Devolution

[samheinwitchkilla44]

Devo, I have to say is pretty damn amazing. Blew me away, very smart guys as well as GREAT music.

[omgitsmikegravel]

Can't stop hitting REPLAY!

[MoonCrashed]

I'm sorry, but are the blockheads seriously comparing Devo to Lady Gaga? Man, now I really feel devo...

[DancingSpiderman]

I LVOE it, the song AND the vid.

Very Mod (the 60s term), and the video even has that Lady Gaga aspect to it.

And of course the DEVO sound is definitely there.

the tail-waggy Digital Fido was cool. Cool gurlz

[gorebago]

@DancingSpiderman good comments except for the gaga reference - ugh

[DancingSpiderman]

@gorebago sowwy for the Gaga reference, but whether we like it or not, there definitely is the Lady Gaga "Bad Romance video" element to the visual, yes I know Gaga wasn't around when this vid was created, but there we are

I just calls'em as I sees'em according to my wide knowledge base of American current entertainment culture

[Diskatopia]

@DancingSpiderman Time is unidirectional. Tachyons not carrying info back in time.

Assuming there is a similarity, the correct phrasing would be "There is a DEVO element in the 'Bad Romance' video."

And the correct answer wto that would be "Now if there were only some DEVO music in the 'Bad Romance' video, it would be worth watching."

[Akyho]

@Diskatopia i subjected myself to the pain of the bad romance video, it appears what is being referenced is the similirty of being in a white room....that is all....white room...and at a push weird clothes.....its very remote. aswell with the bad tense of there sentance to suggest devo travels into the future to steal things, the comment cannot help but feel biased beyond basic self reasoning...De-evolution flys straight in your face dosnt it?

[revilo314]

Stolen from Lady Gaga.

[MrJak36]

@revilo314 This was released in 2007, GaGa didn't release her first album until 2008. So no, it's not.

[rbp7ooz]

@revilo314 The outfits you mean? Because the music is pure Devolution.

[CAKEFILMS]

@revilo314 it came out before lady gaga was even popular. so no it wasn't

[copmon]

Very sad this didnt make it onto the album

In my opinion the album needed more songs like this.

Its also a little underated.

[Strife1969]

@copmon It's on the "Deluxe" version of the new CD. The Deluxe version has several other songs not available on the regular CD.

[decadechild2]

"Whip It" meets Tokyo Jihen.

[Animateme3D]

Yes it is. It's the first track according to iTunes.

[thomasmundahl]

Great song. Too bad it's not going to be on the new album. It got cut.

[crieff405]

it's cool they're doing songs with guitars again :D not that I dislike the synth, it's just I like them accompanying each other!

[Syntegrator]

Hey MetaJet,

Totally agree. By the way, your palm crystal is blinking... ;-)

[colemann76]

i Heard this was left off the new album,, why?

the fans got this wrong, great song and should be on it.

[technoextreme]

@colemann76 It wasn't the fans decision. They wanted the song in. It was Devo's decision. It doesn't really matter though because they are releasing all of them though.

[colemann76]

@technoextreme Good, sanity has prevailed then. as i said before, it's a great Devo song.

[1nown]

A rarity; a song that doesn't need moar cowbell

[piginasack]

Does anyone know who produced/Directed this video?

[ilharae]

@piginasack Jonas Ackerlund (might be spelled wrong)

[eatatmargos]

Please join the crusade to bring DEVO back to SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE as musical guest & MOLLY RINGWALD as the HOSTESS.

Join the FACEBOOK PAGE TODAY!

[theoriginal72]

A good song about selling out.

[ReverendSyn]

1:26 - He tried to kill me with a forklift!!!

[rbp7ooz]

@ReverendSyn AGAIN!?

[stovsa]

That song is a monster and good god those women are hot!

[gamesDAMNED]

Ah, yes! That is Alan's drumming from "The Super Thing." So in a sense, Alan got to play with DEVO one more time. Great for him. This is a killer tune, very very catchy. I can only imagine how many other songs they went through before they were warmed up for this?

[Druffmaul]

@gamesDAMNED Alan didn't play on The Super Thing. It was a drum machine on that particular track.

[jaek2020]

the girl with the black and white hair!!!!!!!!

[bistaboy]

Yes Daddy like!

[inshadowsunseen]

This dog ain't going home till he gets his bone.

[ihavoldgamertag]

how old is this song

[mindonfire89]

The implications of this song scare me

[IamJihad]

i just realized this drum beat is from "The Super Thing", off new traditionalists!

[LonelyAtTheTop79]

@IamJihad I actually like this song better than "The Super Thing"......

[cybermite]

How could any spud not love a girl who can handle a tool?!

[mitchellboomphi]

@cybermite agreed

[theoriginal72]

Only this and "Don't Shoot" are any going to be any good. That said, I hope they both get plenty of radio play.

[leatherwiz]

DEVO rocks!

[cofpaddy]

Love a bita Devo in the evening

[cybermachina]

I agree with MegaJet ! I hope the new album will be as good as this song !

[dudebobbycash]

So good.. looks and sounds fantastic!!!! Love the type, what's the font, looks like gotham.

[jwild611]

Devo...they still got the magic...

[KingOfUm]

I like that DEVO released this on vinyl; it'd be a crime to not get to own a copy.

[AngryGreen]

love this video. one of devo's best.

[nbdy10]

work it, work it, work it.  cool music.

[mitchellboomphi]

I love hot chics in wigs!

[spockmcqueen]

Excellent catchy chorus! But only a c+ for a somewhat avg Devo video.

[macman1138]

To Hell with Dell!

[woodwardcars]

Sweet video

[JunkyardKid]

It'd be even sweeter with 2 Mothersbaughs, 2 Casales, and a Freese.

[newswood]

wow what a stupid video

[Norcalflat]

This is my new favorite Devo song. Just a shame its barely over 2 minutes long. Guess there's always the repeat button!

[PlaceSoFarAway]

@Norcalflat Nah- short and sweet! That's what makes it great.

[rnrbishop]

@Norcalflat We must repeat!

[Kl4pp5tuhl]

@Norcalflat There's also YouTubeLoop. Just putting that out.

[bandgeekxx20]

the woman singing has creepy eyes!! nice song! DELL!!

[austrailianpirate]

Dell! lol.

[tropicAL509]

that asian woman looks like the woman from mirrors edge

[ambientflier]

She does look a bit like Faith.

[crashcow]

I had hoped they might play this or "Don't Shoot I'm A Man" as part of an encore during their latest tour. Oh well, maybe they'll play it on their next outing. These are great new songs from those spudboys...

[puppetMattster]

It really is an awesome song

[noskcajaicilef]

devo is the best :)

[MoonCrashed]

At 1:27 you can hear the girl actually say "hey".

...and the asian woman is what's up.

[MoonCrashed]

I never realized this was an actual music video. I remember seeing it as a commercial though.

[milkygear]

Love this song, but hate this video so fucking much, its proof of de-evolution, instead of watching a video of something interesting, you're watching a video catered to slackjawed idiot I WANT TO FUCKING DIE, IM SO HIGH RIGHT NOW, I WANNA STEP ON A LAND MINE

[yossarian9]

I want to mix genes with that Asian girl.

[rmaxinmass]

Only 111,000 hits, WTF? This is the best you-tube vid there is.

[wyogi06]

The asian girl is hot as hell!!!!

[jcat001]

Dell was brilliant to get their hands on this excellent vid! I love everything about this one- the styling, costumes, the pretense with these hot models singing as our guys- woo!

[DreadfulRay]

I've liked DEVO since the 90s, but something tells me that part of DEVOs comeback is thanks to their inclusion in Rock Band, which became a pop culture phenomenon and exposed an entire generation to their rhythmic exercises in de-evolution.

[swirlingabyss]

Devo was in Rock Band?

[DreadfulRay]

I know that Rock Band 2 has Uncontrollable Urge and you can download Through Being Cool and Girl U Want. I think that's it for now.

[DarkXGlitched]

The same could be said about the sudden universal re-interest in The Beatles.

[macman1138]

One of the best DEVO songs and vids ever.

I'd like to see a much longer version.

Pity too it was used for a Dell commercial.

[djdannyray]

Love the energy domes on the star spangled banner.

[swirlingabyss]

Did anyone notice extreme hotness in the lower right corner around 1:49 ?

[Sugarpants78]

I like two of the three girls. Not a big fan of the black one and I got jungle fever bad so you know she's got problems.

[magoogles1000]

still love devo, got to see them live a couple years back, amazing, i wish all mechanics were this hot

[DonsVideoWorld]

They've still got it!

One of the most under appreciated bands of all time.

Like the Rhino complitation says, "The Pioneers That Got Scalped".

[McLarenMercedes]

Well, several more or less famous artists did covers of Devo songs.

Nirvana did a cover of "Turnaround"

Rage against the machine did a cover of "Beautiful world"

Soundgarden did a cover of "Just a girl"

plenty of others I can't remember now

David Bowie was a Devo fan, and several other bands admit to have been influenced by them.

Sadly among the general public they are solely remembered for their hit "Whip it", and that's all.

I like that compilation.

[GiroroG66]

Can't forget the "children of Devo" Polysics :3

They covered many of their songs including "Jerkin Back n Forth", "Gates of Steel", and even "Secret Agent Man"

"Each life Each End" reminds people of "Girl U Want" while "Polysics or Die" is Polysics' version of "Joko Homo"

[electroluxia]

FABULOUS!

[Tog333]

Huh. Now I'm torn as to which video I like best - this one, or the one with the "dog surgeons".

This is cool. But the creepy dog people seem more DEVO to me. Hrm.

[swirlingabyss]

bonerific

[carmway]

cow bells, tight skirts and high heels..... life is good

[wawawiwa19]

the grinding at 1:37 so hot!

[robertfyke]

New album due in 2010. Hold strong faithful spuds.

[Slimer049]

I LOVE this song. I just wish they hadn't ripped the drum track from a much older, more obscure song (that I also love).

[MegaJetJaguar]

This has to be one of DEVO's best songs ever. It's short, sweet, and very addictive. It's really amazing considering how old the band is, and a true testament to what an excellent musical group they really are.

[inshadowsunseen]

@MegaJetJaguar  ....Devo still rocks the house.

[pacorepaco]

Great song. I never heard it before.

[Mrmusicvideoetc]

I'd work all them out!

*clap clap*

:D

[MrUnidyne]

Hawt ladies with brains and muscle. Yes, ma'am!

[tomfrankly]

hot black women yes please

[01Wrong01]

WOW INTERMISSION

[microKORG17]

i'm really suprised at how good they have held up.

[milkygear]

good song but an awful video

[denshiblocks]

did they hire allen back, or just trying to jock his drum style?

[agnamaracs]

It's a sample from The Super Thing.

[denshiblocks]

where did you hear that?

[agnamaracs]

Wikipedia.

[Lengsel7]

Hot chicks, great engine, great song. THE perfect music video.

[chuck5A]

i used this song in my last video... haha this song rocks...

[RealitysTyranny]

I like asian girls and dogs, but coming from Devo i would have expected something more bizarre, Great song though i can't wait to listen the upcoming new album, i hope it will be a surprisingly glorious comeback, like The Damned's last album.

[KaylaSaysRawwr]

whats with dressing like girls?

[GenreConspiracyRock]

its the one with all pink hair

[lalbruiz]

I cannot decide on which one of these ladies is the hotter one...Devo rocks!!

[berkaster]

i think the girls that did this are devo's tribute band deva theyre all girls obviously.

[Shadgrimgrvy]

This song makes me want to become an evil business man.

[tropicAL509]

lol this song makes me want be be in the future, AND be an evil business man XD

[webzaad]

Does anyone know what the video is where at the end they're blowing in the wind wearing oversize foam suits? Thanks.

[tropicAL509]

this song somehow reminds me of mirrors edge, and the future... its weird

[SOADownsnubs]

this songs tight

[powerbizeps]

on which album was this song released?

[stovsa]

none, it was a non album single featured in a commercial for Dell.

Commercials are awesome now because they
