Beautiful World

[akhalif68]

I first heard this when i was about 16YO - DEVO managed to capture the good & bad aspects of humanity as well as reflect on what humanity is doing to this beautiful planet

[bogscraper]

they don't give +'s in college! Just saying!

[junkyturd]

It's a fucked up world we live in

[jeffreylynngeorge]

EXCELLENT!!!

BRAVO!!!

; }

[smackythefrog23]

perfect.



[MegaCandyfan]

ok, if i have to settle for something other than the original beautiful world video, that's cool. just try to find it. just try. said by a future youtube casualty of digital murder. it really is beautiful

[colonial1113]

Actually, by listening to the song, but never seeing the original video, this is kind of how I pictured a suitable music video would look like.

Historical footage of technological advancement intervened with human savage behavior and war footage.

Guess DEVO was more subtle with their video.

[beelzabubba]

Nice of you to do that for an X.... I wouldn't have bothered......

[TheGuerrillaMovies]

RAGE'S VERSION IS BETTER!!! im not hating on this one i just prefer the grittier version. :)

[Edbuoy44]

@TheGuerrillaMovies SAME HERE, Rage seems to have a real approach, this one seems i don't know too sarcastic and cheery or something.

[TheRaptorfiend]

@Edbuoy44 But the sarcasm is the whole point. The RATM version lacks the subtlety of the original imo, and that's really what this song hinges on.

[aSimulatedHigh]

lol, clockwork orange

[onemtr]

what is the movie in the end of this video?

[NW49ERFAITHFUL]

@onemtr Monty Pythons "Meaning Of Life"

[onemtr]

@NW49ERFAITHFUL thanks!

[friginhell123]

OPRHA YEA

[cobboGHS91]

[bristolgareth1]

GREAT VERSION SEEING THAT YOUTUBE TOOK THE ORIGNAL OFFF

[bristolgareth1]

GREAT VERSION SEEING THAT YOUTUBE TOOK THE ORIGNAL OFFF

[IamConnorMacLeod]

Great Python clip to fit with song!

[robelicit]

gr8 work,,, very cool to see more of ye d3vo inspiration.

[1990them]

thumbs up brother

[kiddo215]

why does this song remind me of the movie donnie darko?...

[DomNNatious]

that was sooo true at the end there xDDD

[undreadSP]

Brasil, 10.0, USA, 10.0, Thailand, 10.0, South Africa, 10.0...even the soviet judge has given it a 10.0!!! PERFECT! thank you

[jcdx22]

@undreadSP Hmmmmm, still in the early '90s are we? The USSR went lolwtfboom, in 1991. No more soviets, unless of course, you are talking about Korea, or China, which in real words is Pseudo-communistic totalitarian police state, same with USSR, just with less Vodka.

[christophercredit]

What a great group-even if this was their only hit, but certainly it was not! Consider: 'girl you want', 'gates of steel', 'gut feeling', freedom of choice', 'whip it'...and of course your favs.

[CaribDevist]

Good job on the ear rape, faggot. 

[MARDLtransmit]

What was that about "hats", again?

[kayla12317]

Awesome !!

[Jestiegirl]

you did great, u just about nailed the "Devoesque" quality in some parts. :)

[DeclanTKatt]

Awesome 'Videodrome' clips!!

[closertofiftythanyew]

Was that Ron Jeremy comong up through the flowers there? Certainly looked like him, couldn't tell him from the waist up....

[Jcolinsol]

Deceptively brilliant

[JohnPerez718]

wow..i couldnt beleieve that Devo made this. I thought RATM took it form someone else. but yeah, RATM pefected it

[ComeClaritySucks]

@JohnPerez718 (no they didn't)

[JohnPerez718]

@ComeClaritySucks well to each his own. im not really one for the 80's synth pop. lol

but its just my opinion that RATM's version is better...if u dnt think so, oh well.

[InformationPollution]

@JohnPerez718 RATM's cover of this song has absolutely no depth. They took an emotionally complex song and made it straightforward, uninteresting, and juvenile.

[JohnPerez718]

@InformationPollution yeah i hear whats you're saying.

but it goes back to what i said, it all depends on the type of music ur into.

RATM may have taken the sarcasm or joke out of whatever the song is trying to say, but thats what makes it interesting if u ask me...but calling it juvinile might be going a bit far...

[Nickclappo]

OMG, WMG haven't deleted the track. Great!!!

[aiiiiee]

THIS IS GREAT!

(especially growing up in MASSILLON! BEAT McKINLEY!)

WHO did this vid? I might know you!

Fred Swan

[tomterahedrob]

I cant find the original but this vid of yours sure compliments the spirit of DEVOs original.Thanks!

[MuhammadTakbir]

RATM's version is nice and mellow and smooth the problem is Zack De La rocha cant sing that well. He was basically whispering

[SuperDrummer2012]

on the devo dvd the original video was on it, much more astounding, than gory, the gov t ran them out out of the music business,just like jim morrison and lenny bruce too controversal.

[MuhammadTakbir]

RATM's version is better

[rosalearedrose]

@MuhammadTakbir agreed this version sucks, i prefer the more thoughtful version by rage.

[Lochness3374]

LONG LIVE DEVO!!!

[redfishradical]

Especially love the videodrome clip! PERFECT for this song! You rock my man!

[redfishradical]

Wow brother, this rates only slightly lower than the original video for the song which was one of my favorites back when music videos were still cool!

Job well done, as someone else said, I hope you got credit for your work!

peace out-

[Kohntarkosz]

What got me was when this song was used in an ad for Target. I'm thinking, "You people have no idea what this song is about, do you?".

[taotapp]

I hope your ex gave you some credit for this kick ass video.

[tekatetikitiki]

RATM really sucks; RATM KILLED this great tune!!! LONG LIVE DEVO.

[collierscourt]

Nice to hear Devo actually performing this tune on Youtube! Kudos Xdel....

[58Bo21]

Recht düster aber ja .. haste es ma lauf den Punkt gebracht ! Es ist eine wunderfeine welt für auch aber nicht vfür mich ... DEVO ...

[spurned1969]

great video dude!

[carntspell]

Good work. All jokes aside, have a look at directing. You got the eye man......

[err0r]

this is shit... why isn't the original version anywhere on you tube?

[Rolandzebub]

Nice vid, spud. Carry on, duty now for the future!

[hines1957]

FYI: RATM version s.ucks giant donkey b.alls

[kilosnew]

hines1957: While I do believe that this version is better than the RATM version, the comment that it "sucks giant donkey balls" is a little harsh. FYI I am a HUGE RATM fan!

KILLING IN THE NAME #1 IN THE UK!!!!!

[hines1957]

Actually my comment is EXTREMELY harsh. I have nothing against RATM in general, but I really don't like what they did with Beautiful World. And honestly I don't know what they suck on when they're massacring a classic. Don't hate the playa...!

[hines1957]

WONDERFUL! I also think Devo would approve. The song and original video are about illustrating how absurd human "civilization" has become, and your video captures this absurdity brilliantly. Bravo!

[christoJihad2]

Fantastic job! I thought at first that the changing channels after the song was finished was a bit much, but then the board meeting at the end was great, too. "What was that about hats again?" Xlnt.

[louiseduvee]

Devo would approve, I think!

[frostedhead]

Hey! Mark is that you?

[MichaelJDowney2]

Wow. You "get it". Well done!

[Cairnsman1]

Great Clip and Images ..well done

[Poisonspoonful]

Devolution is real!

(If you don't get the reference get out. Get out now.)

[TURBOREGNA]

R.A.T.M. version is better!

[t3amtomahawk]

It's so much different!!!! I love the RATM version!!!!

[CaribDevist]

@t3amtomahawk The RATM isn't bad on its own, but it loses all sense of irony. This version is great because it's upbeat and happy sounding but the lyrics are deeply pessimistic.

[t3amtomahawk]

@CaribDevist

You make a horribly valid point. Devo probably thought of doing that on purpose. I never would have thought...

[PowerOfNight88]

@CaribDevist

Yeah but until the very end the lyrics aren't negative.

[Mitube]

@TURBOREGNA uh, no

[dinosaurjr420]

@TURBOREGNA Fuck you and fuck Rage Against the Mansion

[sqwish1984]

I'm not sure I understand why you included all the images, but I greatly appreciate the fact that it's not ridiculously literal. Nice job.

[radicalhit]

the song is meant to be ironic. what its saying is the world is beautiful until you open your eyes.

Rage's cover of this song is much more straightforward though it does lose the sarcasm.

[trevtar]

You take a lot of credit for work you didn't really do. I like the song, but your video is shitty at best and plagiarism at worse.

[DeadlyGrim]

@trevtar:

>>Infact Devo also made a video for this which is laid out pretty much the same as this one

Please read and understand before replying. The creator of this video admits that it is essentially a retooling of the original music video.

[strictlysega]

mate.. well done./.. thats almost on par with a regular devo clip.. love the monty python part

[khurit]

pussy whiped lib crap

[DeadlyGrim]

@khurit:

I hope you enjoy your beautiful world.

[christophercredit]

Do you dig Devo? Definitely one of the greats e

[Aggedor1959]

I was enjoying the vid until the propaganda began. What a waste.

[CassandraOctavius]

If ever there was to be a new fangled vid for this song? Think you hit that shit right on the nose... Thanks for posting this!

[TheRebel2007]

Terrific update!

[afwoods]

Can someone please get to the confounded hat situation!

[badintentions2]

geeky 80s roll of the dice as far as i know.

[MichaelJDowney2]

Awesome.

[Irishcalifornian]

You captured Devo!

[mitzjob]

a cool new view of Devo's materpiece....thanx

[dvscorp]

Oh no - its the Crimson Permanent Assurance Company!

[CindyOsborne]

OMGosh! This vid is totally rippin! Your FIRST attempt. Amazing!

[phychbot]

Very well made and goes with Devo's message perfectly and is also one of the few Devo fan vids that is actually good. Great Job!

[lopergrad]

Very well done. Do something for "Girl U Want"

[agent151]

Well, if you did this as your first attempt at video production you've overachieved. Hard to believe really.

[PennyOz]

Done a fine job there...well done... like the bit about not having enough hats at the end the....LOL- Very funny!!

[lastsource]

Nice job man, a great re-interpratation of the original. Me like, me like very much.

[XDel]

Thank you much!

[NevetsR]

WOW!!! You did DEVO proud!!!! Great Work!!!

[XDel]

Shankya, shankya very much. Glad to do my part. :)

[packmanta]

Great job! I love the clip variety.

If you want to check them out, I've got some Devo videos that I made.

[inbyfacto714]

WELL DONE! WE'RE ALL DEV-O

[adrift]
