  • @nburghmatt this song is about chem trails and how they influence peoples' minds

  • ... I can't help but think that this song was written to a band member's ex-wife, after finding a younger woman.

    just a thought.

  • hey can I use this in a truck video???????

  • best group still playing

  • this is devo's best cd in years , but i still have not heard anything by them that i don't like , and if they ever come to edmonton alberta , i would so be there

  • Age has been kind to Bob 1

  • I absolutely do not care what this song is actually about. The music video is beautiful, the song is awesomely catchy and well-lyriced. I love how the band now all have pot-bellies and they're still being the most awesome spuds on the damn planet. Anyone who does not appreciate DEVO, at least a little bit, does not appreciate music. Have fun with Justin Bieber just because he's cute, y'know?

    But that conversation is cliched. All I can think of is the Monty Python "defense of Fresh Fruit" sketch.

  • awesome I am devo-ted to the musak

  • Escape Mind control with the power of Devo

  • Just warms my heart that a whole new generation are discovering just what groundbreaking geniuses these weirdos were (and still are)...

    "Oh Dad... We're ALL Devo!!!!"

  • I'm 14 and I have loved Devo since I was like 5. It's a shame that other people my age don't know who they are.

  • Tasty Sweet Candy Freshness..."Almost makes me want to cry-y-y-y-y-y-y"

  • Do they not have a bassist?

  • @Forbelicious Ya Jerry Casale is the bassist and plays bass on keyboards and traditional bass as well

  • this song kicks so much fucking ass

  • 460px would be better.

  • the kings are not dead-LONG LIVE THE KINGS !!!

  • Fuck these guys are good. And that's good!

  • So, I'm thinking that the girl they used is a model in her 20's, and when her agent asked if she would like to be in a Devo video, she probably said "What's a Devo?"

  • god i like devo but i just discover this video...lost the track i know... this song is really good but see the Skinny Nerd become that old and fat nerd dosent fit in my head but hey THEY STILL FUCKING GOOD

  • all we need now is a HD version of the video

  • great.

  • it's awesome that they haven't changed

  • I couldn't stop laughing through this entire video for some reason. I guess I just can't take it seriously.

  • Oh, an addendum; I realize it's not meant to be taken seriously, but I just kept interrupting the music by chuckling.

  • I'm hope DEVO never make a music video that makes sense.

  • @willscomix *I

  • saw them play in august... best concert ever!

  • Yes to this times a million k.

  • Yup. Sweet and Tangy! Very common Devo theme...

  • i saw them live last night. its amazing they still sound they same after all these years.

  • like a lot good day wishing you all a good day forever from tang

  • like a lot good day wiching you all a good day forever from tang

  • I'd like to see them in their Trademark colors w/red outfits.Devo's still FRESH after all those years.

  • Oh DEVO!! I have missed you so much. I'm enjoying the new album and hoping there won't be another long hiatus before the next. We need you more than ever in this day and age.

  • They've still got it!

  • wow, that's the first time my ears and my eyes were raped at the same time...

  • That dude has the sickest guitar EVER!

  • the comeback album is fucking awesome, the best since the debut.

  • Just love the video (as always with DEVO) and the song!

  • MMmmmmm Pinapple

  • i like pussies and Devo!

  • ..Is This Defo!...fox.rock's.czar! ..you old guys NOW!..(fly us somewhere!)

  • this song is about pussy, right?

    

  • @nburghmatt Ya 'Fresh' pussy :)

  • @nburghmatt No, it's about Chemtrails. Naturally. A guy on Songmeanings told me =|

  • this is the reason my q6 year old friends are in a band... to learn and worship through derevolutionized music. we love DEVO!!! SUBURBAN ROBOTS WHO MONITOR REALITY!

  • I first heard this when I saw warren miller wintervention

  • holy shit, i heard this on the radio and couldnt tell if it was an 80s song or a new band trying to sound 80s so i looked it up and saw it was devo and assumed it was old, and then i come here and see its new, pretty awesome

  • @wickkidda me2 :P

  • Cant believe this only has 81 823 views

  • The video interprets the lyrics in a slightly "dirty" or "naughty" way -- not necessarily at DEVO's direction -- but the actual lyrics are pretty vague and to some extent nonsensical. The same thing is happening with this song as happened years ago with "Whip It" which attached meaning that wasn't technically there in the lyrics. Anyway, it's all good and I love this song. I even love that it CAN be interpreted the way a lot of people are interpreting it.

  • @edscerbo I just heard the song for the first time a few weeks ago, and the double-entendre never occurred to me - I interpreted it as a mad chase for higher meaning in life. The fact that it can be interpreted as a mad chase for LOWER meaning in life at the same time is funny/awesome.

    This album is my introduction to Devo, and it's an excellent first impression. :D

  • @d314152 Hey dude glad you like the album. If you want an incredible second impression of DEVO, go buy their FREEDOM OF CHOICE album which has the two moster hits WHIP IT and GIRL YOU WANT. Let me know what you think of this album.

  • @RedPortiaOne ...... tell him about all the other great songs in the DEVO COLLECTION ..... not just off that particular album .... give him some more homework and look up more DEVO right here on youtube!

  • @d314152 I like your interpretation- although I thought it was about the use of sex in commercials to promote products; luring potential customers with sex seems really prevalent and effective.

  • so coooooooool and really freeeeeeeeesh! (although their real age)

  • Comment removed

  • THIS IS HILARIOUS

  • squeeze me some off that fresh orangegina

  • there first song in a very long time aye :)

  • Amazing. The composition of the video and certain song elements make me think it's 1982 all over again, but it's still new and different.

    We're ALL Devo.

  • I'm pretty sure this song is about vagina.

  • @MyNameIsBucket

    I think you're dead on.

  • So FRESH! Check out the new interactive video at: wbr .fm/devowhatwedo

  • DEVO still is awesome! Loving the new stuff!!

  • Awesome...

    

  • Mark and John should run on the same ticket for the presidential campaign

  • Still got it!

    

  • I spent all of last year's summer listening to Devo, and I must say, it was a summer well spent

  • this is 2010...?...

  • They have it. They're the best.

  • I just saw Devo perform this song here in Los Angeles and it was my first time hearing it. They had a huge video screen in the background and they played all the visuals from this video and it was fucking awesome !!! they are not men...THEY ARE DEVO!!!!!!!

  • I love how this still has the same weirdness and low-budget feel of the old Devo vids.

    Also I need an animated .gif of the crying bum like, right now.

  • i wanna download this album again in downloadmusic .im

  • so cool... food pics... mark is a shaman

  • Awesome genius. Best concert I ever saw was DEVO in 1982 - New Traditionalists tour - and I've seen them all.

  • The spudboys will ALWAYS be fresh in my book. Twenty years in the making, and they haven't lost a thing.

  • 5 people who rated it negatively obviously have no taste :)~

  • Great video(as usaul for DEVO) and the song rocks. Only 65 thousand views? America deserves to go down in flames.

  • wow love devo.........thanx for the vid.......

  • @RedPortiaOne

    "... he sees a fork in the road."

  • they should have worn blue energy domes

  • so frechhsssssssssssssssssss buena tios que buena cancion

  • The only good thing about pop music nowadays is that it is so LAME it makes 80s new wave sound fresh again! Now, where did I leave those Devo and Talking Heads LPs?

  • @alzahir Well said!

  • they are great band, thanks.

  • Ha Ha,Their masks rule

  • The return of the Blue Spud!!!!!!!

  • I think we`ve all suffered from a weeping arse at some time.

  • so fresh, it almost makes me want to

    cra-a-o-oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-a-ah-ah­-a-ah

    So fresh, it givin' me a second

    lah-ah-oh-oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ife

  • DEVO IS THE SHIT! 

  • Real music with real musicians? OMG! How will the youth of today be ble to deal with this!?????? COOL!

  • @CINEMALEXZIKON Not all of us teens like shit. :P

  • @CINEMALEXZIKON -- Unfortunately, they won't have to deal with it. They will never know it existed with no MTV and no radio play. The industry is catering to 13-year-olds.

  • This video is great!  :-)

  • They're so old, but they still have hearts of rockstars.

  • this song is so dang catchy

  • Positives:

    1. I like the 'grape bunch' shaped guitar.

    2. Fruit brings more pleasure than potatoes that rotate.

    3. The new outfits are hip in a far out kind of way.

    Negatives:

    1. I was hoping to see a shot of Boogie Boy sticking a knife in a toaster.

    2. Not sure about the crying bum.

    3. I hate cats.

  • 2:06 to 2:20 is my favorite part. love guitar sections like that

  • @sdobbs20 Hell yeah! Bob Mothersbaugh is the MAN!

  • The new album is great, especially after you listen to it a few times. At first, I thought it was just OK, but now I love it and can't get the sounds out of my head.

  • I love them and its so funny how mark the lead singer did the music for the rugrats and nick during their hiatus.

  • Is Kim Jong Il a member of Devo?

  • Furries...

  • Devo rocks!!! By the way, what does LP stand for?

  • @CantStopDancinMan LP is an abreviation for Long Play record. Before CDs there were Vinyl Lps

  • @RedPortiaOne - And before LPs, there were 78's which only fit about 3.5 mins. per ~12" record side. Progress is a good thing in this respect. :-)

  • @RedPortiaOne I bought the deluxe LP, which came with the CD! 

  • Comment removed

  • @CantStopDancinMan ..... long playing, period!

  • The orange coming from tha pussy it's like an orgasm...

  • It's both great and sad that old (hit single of 1978!) veterans play much better that all brand new hipster crap (parasiting on 80-s). Alive and kicking!

  • Are We Not Old? We Are Devo! I mean that affectionately because as a longtime fan, I am old too. Good stuff, this.

  • Dude. Polysics is seriously rubbing off on these guys! I swear, since Mark passed the torch, these two bands are complementing each other PERFECTLY! :D

  • going to see them march 20th in san diego, it shall be epic.

  • @jeremyshambles Youre lucky dude. Please let us all know how the concert was. Hope youre bringing a video cam with you ;)

  • @RedPortiaOne I certainly will do so, i am going to do my best to get some footage, heard any cracking songs recently? cheers

  • @jeremyshambles Cool man PM me when you get it, looking forward to seeing it, and have a great time

  • Heyul Yeah, Man! I LOVE it! Started with DEVO in '78...and I'm in Mississippi - Talk about devolution! This is their best!

  • @wbaskin Right on, a fellow Devo-Tee since thier first LP 1978 :)

  • crying but 

  • devo is still great if not better

  • Welcome back guys

  • One of the best Devo songs ever.... How do they sound so good after all this time? IMO better than "Whip It"

  • I remember my friends being embarrassed to hang around with me when Devo's first record was released in the USA - everyone seems to forget that people thought you were deranged, homosexual or perverted if you listened to them in public in 1981. I don't know exactly when it became 'cool' to like them. Then, there were the Talking Heads - a record store clerk looked at me like I was nuts when I bought one of their 1st records. Oh, WELL!

  • @louiseduvee Hey there :) I think it became cool to listen to them in the mid 90's when the world realized that De-Evolution was a real thing that was happening and occuring. Thier status went from an obcsure cult band, and haralded as visionaries. To bad people and corporate America was to stupid back then to see that Devo truly were visionaries and social geniuses. Now its all common knowlege and cool to like DEVO

  • @RedPortiaOne

    De-Evolution is real,,, it doesn't mater. People finally listened to other tracks besides Whip It and realized the songwriting talent that they are.

  • it's still fresh...

  • WHAT

    I didn't know this was Devo, which seems weird now that I know who it is. So I typed the lyrics in after I heard it on the radio to find out who did this song because I REALLY like it.

    AND WHUDDYA KNOW! STILL THE KINGS.

  • It,s a shame we can't get this out there. Play Glastenbury lads and a whole new generation will understand what DEVO is all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pure brilliance . The greatest band on earth.35years and still different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @tryseys I totally agree with what you are saying man. I've been with DEVO since thier first LP in 1978 when I was a kid, and they still are the coolest

  • Great video, great band!

  • The new stuff is just as good as the old. Some of it is even more clever.

  • @CoffinPolish Ive always loved DEVO's lyrics. Like a riddle wrapped in a rhyme ;)

  • I still love the spud boys. It's sad they were gone from the scene for so long, but they really are still just as fresh as they ever were.

  • I love it! It is like a page out of the "Oh No! It's DEVO!" music videos! It has such a classic DEVO feel to it.

  • @xerochi I know doesnt it? This is a great song and recaptured the DEVO glory years.

  • This is excellent modern pop. For guys that have been around this long it's nothing short of amazing.

  • @duckster313 This is the DEVO sound. Its really nice to hear people today say it sounds 'modern' when they have sounded like this since 1978. Just shows what hard core DEVO fans like me have always said...DEVO were always WAY ahead of thier time :)

  • DEVO is ... DEVO!

    DEVO + Madonna = Lady Gaga!

  • @AteuPositivo LOL sounds crazy but youre SO right

  • they are the only band that can make keytars work

  • @95ponzo Agreed, and they look so good doing it too ;)

  • Nice chemtrails at the beginning... WTF Devo.

  • GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME.....AND I MEAN IT.

  • @Fooblestheclown You know what dude? Its really hard to believe that DEVO lost thier recording contract in 1984 because of low sales. Thier comeback has been PHENOMINAL. I always said DEVO were ahead of thier time. 2010 is the right time for DEVO :)

  • @RedPortiaOne .....I followed this band since they started back in the mid 70's. Everything they ever did back in their underground days was amazing, and ahead of their time.....yet most people know DEVO because of Whip it, and I can't understand why that was their only number 1 hit. It should have been Mechanical man.

  • @Fooblestheclown Same here, Been with them since 1978 when I was a littel kid. Whip it brought them into the mainstream, but thier beginning was incredible as was (and is) thier whole career

  • @Fooblestheclown - That is true and an entire shame. But I am gen Y and they're popular in here too.

  • @RedPortiaOne a musical renaissance, a second coming of devo? I can only hope

  • @freespeech4u2 The 'second coming of Devo' I love the way that sounds :)

  • @Fooblestheclown That's what I'm screamin'!

  • It's a great song. I'm so glad they're back

  • @vancouvercriminallaw You and a million others ;)

  • New favorite song!

  • @tanmanveal Rock on!!!

  • it's like a fruit of the loom commercial

    but better

  • "Nothing Could Be Better"

  • Best thing to come out of Akron

  • have those guys been on the colbert report (or was it the daily show)?

  • @lobster9207 Colbert report

  • @lobster9207 knowing them the way they market themselves, probably both lol

  • @lobster9207 it was the colbert report

  • this video made me hungry

  • @xXDreadnoughtXx It has that effect on most guys my man ;)

  • DEVO ROCKS.....

  • awesome! definitely DEVO !!! hank, Syracuse NY

  • @adeadpyro99 Hey Hank :) Nice to see Devo back and rockin in the 21st century

  • I love this music video.

  • @angelpushpin This is the best video ever since Whip It

  • What are the new helmets all about? We are all nails waiting to be hammered down?

  • @InuvikPhil According to to the DevoVision YouTube site, the helmuts were designed to mask the petty differences bet
