Devo Corporate Anthem

[Hollandia777]

A beginnin' of the new ERA?

[Desmaad]

I can imagine this as being the anthem for IBM back in the day.

[tacokristianbean]

this morning at school (im 13) i sang i hummed this outloud during the pledge of allegiance and it was awesome

[chucku00]

A clockwork orange anyone ?

[Hollandia777]

@chucku00 it soundZ kinda clockwork lemon....

[newnewly]

"rode"...pardon me.

[newnewly]

gee whiz...how much did buffalo bill influence these cats...?...seriously, this is the theme played as he road into the arena....the 1st...one of the 1st "rock stars".

[kingcriss]

The music reminds me of the film 'Clockwork Orange'.....Hail DEVO !!!

[SirBroadsword]

Sounds like a weird mix of the Pennsylvania State Police Anthem and Here Comes the Bride.

[InvisibleCloudKing]

@SirBroadsword Here comes the bride of Frankenstein.

[ffairlane57]

So, um....how much influence did Kraftwerk have on these guys?

[Teflon65]

Would you like high fructose corn syrup with that?

[csafarmer]

All that is missing from this video is a tear dripping from the eye from at least one of them as the hands are raised in salute-I am welling up myself right now as I romanti-supersize about our dear United States of Mcdonalds.......

[sonofapreacherman2]

i miss mr. oizo's effects :-)

[drrjim]

Is this the best or what !

[ButtmanBeats]

And then : "Tue. tue. tue. tout le monde, voici la musique d'ordinateur, tire, ou, meurt."

[Ranlon]

Fuck the corporate New World Order. The masses will stop it and bring it down once and for all. Once again, a corporation is not a nation, ok. It's just a stupid shop.

[flippyflyer]

wow its the new world order theme! thanks sell out CEOs of US corporations!

[LowCostVideo]

Is this what life in North Korea is like?

[nietzsche71]

i love how cool this is

[FriedPotato87]

"Productivity Above All"

[n8tureboy]

Simple but profound!

[battonpending]

I get a lump in my throat every time l hear this .

[sporocyst1973]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please stand for the Devo Corporate Anthem....

[bfox1969]

I ruv u devo.

[blaineyboots]

best music video ever.

[sporocyst1973]

Devo saw how one day the corporations would rule america...

[RulanIndustries]

...I was expecting there to be considerably more to it than that.

[mujaku]

What is good for corporate America is good for YOU!

[phlapps1]

hi,,,,SUPERNERD  here....Saying I hope you all stood on your feet while this fanfare played! ! !

[TheMantisTycoon]

@phlapps1 I stumbled for my Fishtail glasses.

[smithersandburns]

This is just a techno version of "Here Comes the Bride"....

[shipmaker14]

This sounds like music sounds like it's from a Monty Python movie!

[ffairlane57]

I dedicate this song to all BP empoyees.....bunch of stupid fucks.

[hotelmario510]

I sat and waited for the singing.

It never came :'(

[stakleni00]

I will put Devo in the "pop" genre just in order to make across my point, which is: I wish there was art, thought and meaning in today's pop music...

[Laughingbear1960]

Suprised that W M G hasn't taken this one down too, as it infringes on there rights, as they use it at company functions.

[pazzensutra]

Ever see Weird Al's video "Dare to be Stupid"? You gotta see it, it's a DEVO parody. They show this scene (with Al's band) and instead of a salute they're putting an ice cream cone to their heads. Hilarious! I always thought this was pretty hilarious, too.

[arianecrvan]

Can't wait to see them this weekend in Squamish, BC. It's been 30 years!

[TheBamaboyeez13]

Devo will never die.....they are united!!!!!

[YxBthemaster989YxB]

WMG is going to shit themselves if they see this video :/

[TheRebel2007]

"Let the Rollerball match begin!"

[pazzensutra]

@TheRebel2007 Ha! Now THAT'S funny.

[dippywatcher]

loved the salute...

[stikkirecords]

watch the b.....and - 'laibach'...on you tube my friends!!!......see the madness.

[sidrocker]

Are we not men? We are DEVO!

[KCKatheist]

@sidrocker D-E-V-O!

[glorp896]

@sidrocker and don't forget DUTY NOW FOR THE FUTURE (as we devolve of course... men? no, devolutionists

[Hakudohshi]

Industry today, consequences tomorrow!

[ButtmanBeats]

MR OIZO !!!

[jwild611]

I would have to say that is definitely Mark on those synths. I love his singing but I think his synth playing kind of always went unnoticed (until he started doing soundtracks). He is a brilliant synth player.

[schoolercat]

Genius! This should be the anthem for the United Corporations of America that we've become.

[nightskull23]

@schoolercat I love Corporations, as long as im at the top :p

[pazzensutra]

@nightskull23 Don't forget the truth.....alot of rich people started out poor. (Ulike people like Al Gore) AND it's the corporations that have more jobs. It's NOT the government's job to make jobs! Sorry man, I got started. ....Okay, so I'm not sorry.

[Hollandia777]

@schoolercat

Well...An anthem of just Buckeye State then? :D

[Vintageloulou]

@schoolercat exactly!!!!

[brownie1982ad]

Are you some sort of subversive pinko? Homeland security will be around to pick you up later!!

[swordfishmatador]

I had to make a powerpoint presentation for my company and I used this song as an intro song to the presentation.

[waIIflower]

@swordfishmatador Best comment ever!!!

[swordfishmatador]

@waIIflower Thanks! Im going to use it from now on. 

[Kl4pp5tuhl]

@swordfishmatador NICE

[pfive]

@swordfishmatador How you finding welfare?

[swordfishmatador]

@pfive Yes, be grateful.

[tedcantu1]

@swordfishmatador LOL.. man you must have really hated your company

[oobiedoob]

@swordfishmatador

i feel like this inspired pretty much every corporate background music ever hahaha

[subversyv]

Aren't DEVO just a bunch of sell-out fucks?

[bacofishtaco]

@subversyv

No, actually.

[subversyv]

@bacofishtaco Why do you say so.

[bacofishtaco]

@subversyv

Because they salute, and it's the only action during the video.

[Governorg]

Devo got it's name from ovum meets Ed The Sock. DEVO.

Long live you lilly livered weenies!

[waIIflower]

@loqutor I shall start my own country, and this shall be its national anthem.

[Leighbo1]

@waIIflower funny.

[gabriel38g]

I think I heard this played at the beginning of the G20 summit :)

[moarinternets]

I walked down the aisle to this song.

It seemed appropriate for an American wedding.

[rybread32]

Kind of reminds me of kraftwerk

[retrocrushh]

We live in a corporate-feudal state.

[willobi]

All hail the WESAYSO corpation USA and UK.

[vwoohoo]

This one is dedicated to Will Wright, in The Sims we trust (for a pension fund)!

[RegencyRoyale]

Here Comes The Bride..umm

[GNRandSTP911]

We are the future.

We are the past.

We are the present.

We are DEVO!

[adirondackbruce]

If anyone is a Randi Rhodes fan and Forum member, please ask her show to play this song. Just the other day she was venting about how we'll all be saluting a corporate flag while we listen to a corporate anthem. BINGO! Time for a bit of educational outreach here. Help me? Thanks. -- AltruiPerv

[adirondackbruce]

If anyone is a Randi Rhodes fan (and Forum member), please ask the rest of the posters to ask the powers that be on her show to play this song. Just the other day she was venting about how we'll all be saluting a corporate flag as we listened to a corporate anthem. BINGO! I think we can do a bit of educational outreach here. Help me? Thanks. -- AltruiPerv

[richiebear1969]

@adirondackbruce Watch Ned Beatty's speech in the film "Network".

[adirondackbruce]

@richiebear1969: Absolutely. Have done recently, after not seeing it since its release back in the Dark Ages. Welcome to the Dark-ER Ages, huh? [ -- Altruistic Pervert over on the Devo pages -- see you all over there ]

[alexonfire111]

FAGGOTS!!!!

[RedPortiaOne]

@alexonfire111 You post your crap on Devo's music as if anyone gives a shit about what you say.

So tell us what happened you jealous retard.

Did Mark throw your bands demo tape in the trash where it belongs? Did Jerry fuck your girlfriend? Maybe one of the Bob's pissed in your Cheerios!

Face it retard, Devo are icons, have paid thier dues and getting a highly deserved 2nd run, and you are? A jealous pathetic NOBODY!

Insert your humiliated fucktard face here --> :-(

[Jiveturkey68]

@RedPortiaOne Devo is lame. Way to go on a long rant about how their Icons when they clearly are not. My short experimentation into devo ended with the viewing of the end of your generic cliche statement. "Insert your humiliated fucktard face here --> :-(" That is the lamest shit I have ever read. What kinda of self-respecting man........Devo are not fagots your the fucking fagot.

[RedPortiaOne]

@Jiveturkey68 Get over yourself buddy and your ego little man. What you are writing now is the lamest shit I have ever heard. You clearly dont know anything about Devo or thier following. If you did you wouidn't say such retardation. Have a nice day Fagtard!

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

@Jiveturkey68 Why is it so hard for people to use the correct "they're"?

[jerzmacow]

@JohnnyLovelyOfficial because there retarded

[ManeatingLemur]

@RedPortiaOne Mark pissed in my Cheerios. Nevertheless, the stirring, inspirational majesty of the Devo Corporate Anthem cannot be denied.

[cheesewad276]

my nickname is devo my 8th grade teacher came up with it and now thats all ppl call me

[tjwdraws]

in BP, Walmart, Monsanto, and Goldman Sachs We Trust!

[bacofishtaco]

0:39 -- Epic.

[chingonote]

Here at Monsanto we believe in  the future fffuture fffffuterrrrr

[BoysKeepSwingin2]

Devo was by far the most creative band in the punk/new wave period and certainly the most original.

[42whatelse]

This sounded like a beautiful trumpets playing anthem of the pretty planet, Planet Anubis. Our and their national anthem. And We are Devo. And we are the Devo Dynomutts, Dogs Wonders!

[LittleBobChannel]

All hail Goldman Sachs!

[irwinlive]

Nice one - just haunting. Also check out my video.

[uturniaphobic]

gotta say synth sounds has come a long way...I used to have a Casio CZ1 that sounded just like this....in 1985 that is...classic 16/32bit sampling.

thanks for the vid!

[finefilth]

long live our benevolent, egalitarian corporations, if there ever was such a thing.

Dracula for president

[zathusura78910]

I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords!!!

[SuperLolol1234]

it looks like a techno-pedophile convent

[reskt1277]

Devo, The Best for skatebording life!

[missinformationage]

lol bach is killing so many kittens right now

[mrprogjazzgto]

This reminds me of some IBMers I worked with back in the 80s...LOL

(without ties)

[Crazylatinokid7]

*Stands next to Mark and Salutes*

[NJPJMommaDJ]

The order they're standing in is Mark, Bob , Alan, Jerry, Bob 2. Right?

[evelau]

@NJPJMommaDJ

You are correct.

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

@NJPJMommaDJ yeah

[foxyroxstar]

Target The Human Being for even any Greater. Tesla Understandings!

[Transroboball2]

WE ARE DEVO...

[rubberdu]

DeEvolution

[slammer845]

Reminds me of Micro$oft

"Hail Bill Gates, the leader of innovation!"

"Hail Windows 7!"

[Tanelor]

@slammer845 That's so like Micro$oft!

[loqutor]

As of yesterday, this should be our official national anthem.

[DunlopDaytona]

And, even though they were considered "avant garde" in their day (I was there), sadly the enslavement of the populace to the corporations has become very real in the last 20 years.

[2submit]

@loqutor joj hahahaah

[drshoggothshow]

@loqutor It is in my version.

[RawUmbers1]

Outstanding - bearing their allegiance to the post nuclear corporation that guides all and is deserving of our trust. Could just as well be the post-treatment Alex expressing his allegiance to the state before being tolchocked by his former droogies now turned police.

[trouserham]

Mark is definetely on a low devo.

[LEADFOOT63]

to Scott Smith and Family,this is your son,I am here in line with these guys,you have my service if so needed,ready for duty and wait for orders from hq have a good day senoir father instuctor sir!!

[kermankalle]

as far as i know devolution rules.

[jonsey617]

My 3 year old watches Mark Mothersbaugh on Yo Gabba Gabba, I used to listen to Devo when I was 19, who'd of thought.

[oiyabastard]

@jonsey617 HE IS SECRETLY TELLING UR KIDS , ......... THAT YOUR DAD DOESNT LOVE YOU CUZ HE PLOPS U DOWN INFRONT OF THE TV TO LET SUGAR SALEMEN THE GUYS IN TIES SELLING LIES TURN YOUR BRAIN TO MUSH. DUTY NOW FUCKERS

[vass327]

The de evolution is nearly complete !

[mg196]

I wish I was Bob 1's dirty underwear.

[topzombie3]

this should have been on red dawf or somthing like that.

[MankindCartoons]

Duty now, for the future, spuds!

[bigdaddycue]

Are We Not Men!!!!!!!!!

[zak77702]

We are DEVO!

[bethster33]

Stand united to stop the undead :D, seroiusly, out of all dissasters to befall man, I am most prepared for the undead one, Oh and devo rules, I'm not sure what point there trying to get across in there music, I just like the tune, does that mean I like devo for the wrong reasons? O:

[ionsight]

@bethster33 yes you are exactly who they are making fun of.

[bethster33]

Can't we all be friends? when the zombies come, it doesnt matter who we are for, I'm seroius.

[GrayRambo1]

What the fuggles was that?!

[nanotech2020]

Obama is a socialist, he admits it.. wait not.. it's just every one around him admits to being one.

[khurit]

its a brave new beautiful world under a nibiru filled sky

[Hakudohshi]

Marching Industry! :D

...It will consume you >:3

[TheRebel2007]

Duty Now For The Future!!

[Skulldini]

You actualy call THIS SHIT music????...Why this SUCKS!!!! You can not move, groove and bop your booty to THIS!!!!.....Shit, I'm out'a here!!!..BYE.

[Skulldini]

P.S.

.........Only kidding.

[tigerboyav]

Skulldini suck my geeky f**k

[hinatafreak13]

I forgot to mention that I do like the music. My favorite song is Whip It, I just don't care for the video. I also wrote below, but I am not hinatafreak1

[hinatafreak13]

I believe there is a deep meaning to this video. Corporate anthem - is stating that if you want a job in corporate America, be clone like, don't think just do what you are told even if it is unethical

[freespeech4u2]

or that the corporations *run* america

[MrRatBastardIII]

Song's a tribute to the movie Rollerball.

[americandevo]

Ridiculous. Who knows what the fuck DEVO was trying to say "wear gaudy colors or avoid display" "be like your anscestors or be different" blah blah.

If you want to work at ANY job you have to abide by their rules. At McDonalds you wear the ugly shirt, in a law office you wear a suit, etc. This clone bullshit is old hippie crap. In the REAL world there are rules and regulations you follow in order to earn your pay. You want to make your own rules, then start your own company and be self employed

[TheLemmingHead]

And if your only aspirations are to get into this "real" world then you are sadly misguided. There are other "alternatives" to being another mediocre placeholder of society.

And no, I don't mean to run around the streets in bright colors with cones on your head, but you don't have to openly conform.

[zenprankster]

Its artistic social parody you dingbat. Notice that the band took it all to the bank. So, they did start their own company.

Now, go back to the Sara Palin Fan Club website and don't forget to watch your Fox News before going to picket Planned Parenthood.

[conservativefloozie]

Wow what a judgemental bigot you are zenprankster. I'm hip to americandevo.

You forgot to call him a racist, oh wait Devo are a bunch of white guys so you can't throw that lame card on the table too.

[zenprankster]

Of course, it is always a very intelligent thing to take postings on Youtube VERY SERIOUSLY. Now, go back to listening to Rush Limbaugh, so you and the rest of your ilk can bitch about how medicine of all Americans is a bad thing, but torture is great. Have a sense of humor, and see the sarcasm in things. Ha.

[americandevo]

Boy you are a psycho. You are a prime example of de-evolution.

[zenprankster]

You are hyper-sensitive and a fool to take Internet postings so serously. Have a nice day.

[konastephen]

zenprankster... zenlessflamer more like it. I could list the things you watch and read too. cheap party trick. you're so transparent. but I bet even God would be hard-pressed to find any original thought in your little skull. whatever. you don't matter. you and all the other little lemmings who voted for this ridiculous semi-socialist interlude in the history of this great nation of individualists will soon fade into insignificance and take your proper places atop the dustbin of history... :P

[hirofan]

kona, how is Obama a socialist? He's an elitist. His foreign policies are no different than his predecessors. Republics and Democrats are both capitalists. Don't believe any Rush Limbaugh propaganda, friend.

[konastephen]

Rush? Hardly. If it looks like it and smells like it, I figure, call it by it's name. Are you saying Obama's not a socialist? On what grounds? Do you even know what socialism is?

[zenprankster]

Thanks for the hillarious reply. Your way-too-serious and ignorant statements is typical of the fanatic right-wing. You hate socialism huh? Then take all kids out of school and never call the police or fire dept. Those are socialist programs. The right wing fed this nation's soul and economy to war profiteers, foreign banks and dishonest business cronies. The dustbin of history is too crowded with the Bush/Cheney cadre. Please nominate Plain. It will be a laugh riot.

DEVO RULES.

[konastephen]

You're the only laugh riot here "zen"ster. That agitprop about the police, schools and other basic municipal institutions being "socialist programs" won't work here today. Does it actually work anywhere anymore? Mockery is great if there's truth in it. Even Plain knows that. If not, it's just spin. (Don't worry. There's plenty of room in the Dustbin for you, dude. In fact, your spot is already guaranteed I'd say.)

[zenprankster]

We may not agree on politics, but at least we agree that Devo is cool. Remember, every bird needs a right wing and a left wing to fly in a balanced fashion. By the way, the woman's name is P-A-L-I-N. Have a nice day and I wish you all the best.

[konastephen]

Ah. Gotcha. Palin. Yup. Uhuh. You know, I had you figured for some lefty agitator from the get go. Now I know who you are. I've seen your fellow union lackeys and acorn nuts counter-protesting with signs about birds needing right and left wings. But the logic doesn't follow. It's like saying your car needs to be in reverse and drive simultaneously to get anywhere. Of course that's not true. Right is right and left is wrong. It's that simple. Oh, and don't tell me what kind of day to have.

[zenprankster]

Kindness and understanding is met with hateful contempt. Okay. It must be terrible to be so small-minded, ignorant and full of hate. Go Palin 2012! Ha! Have fun at the next Klan meeting. All future replies will be ignored, because it is a waste of time and energy.

Have a nice day anyway.

[konastephen]

huh? define kindness and understanding. I'm sure I disagree. In this context "ingratitude and ignorance" is more apt. Prankster, Prankster. There's no hate in my contempt; which last covers socialism in all forms national or otherwise as fully as it does the klan. You can't smear me with your crude revisionist associations that way and have the last word. Since I equally distrust your definition of the word "nice" I remain aloofly my own. adieu.

[RadRocker9]

hate to break it to ya, but education, Police and firebrigades have been around a long time before socialism reared its Ugly head. and another misconception is that Bush was not a conservative, he bent over backwards for the Left and foreign intrests. dont you forget just how much the public schools are failing around the country.

[jemitche67]

idiot

[Trendkillertrendy]

successful troll is successful

[14you2watch]

see this guy knows the deal -- play by thier rules or make up your own --- DEVO did the same thing nonconformists -- good for them

[JadeDragon007]

hmmmmm....

Dorks' national anthem

[ffairlane57]

We like being dorks.

[skybluetrades]

Where can I get a shirt like that?
