It's the anti--music-video video!  Doncha get it? Instead of the same ol' lame ass videos you've seen since The Buggles, they did something different.

[RabidEasterBunny]

If this makes any sense to anyone, please tell me.

[suexian]

Casale explains "There was a feature article on a guy who had been an actor and fell on hard times, he wasn't getting parts anymore. He moved with his wife to Arizona, opened a dude ranch and charged people money to come hang out at the ranch. Every day at noon in the corral, for entertainment, he'd whip his wife's clothes off with a 12-foot bullwhip. She sewed the costumes and put them together with Velcro. The story was in the magazine about how good he was and how he never hurt her.

[bigguy4876]

[NJPJMommaDJ]

They're called "Energy Domes" and I think they're basicly flower pots

[SayYourGoodbyes666]

Lmao.

Flower pots mhmm :]

[distorsiondiferente]

really great song!!!

the video is pretty weird,

kind of scary for me xD

[ThemasterJay]

I wish this would be on Rock band or Guitar hero some day.

[dimitris7gone]

eleos

[cole668]

Its pretty funny that the drummer is standing up.

[youmakemesickman]

Wow that was one frecked out music video

[videokid513]

um, lol

[Jcashrulez]

dam atleast they look cool

[piontro]

The great nerds.

[ausomei]

get yourself straight

[thehattaman]

oh, that Alan!

[taoist77]

aahh, Devo with there trademark deliberate cheesiness - Love it! Actually Devo's postmodern aesthetics was similer to that of Throbbing Gristle with their 'Industrial' aesthetic - but with completely different approaches.

[itslovebitch]

0:54 lol whats with the cross-eyed chinita?

[FuckingxJerryxLewis]

There's so much possible symbolism there that it's hard to say.

[FuckingxJerryxLewis]

There are two basic themes to this song, crass consumerism (the video is based on a real dude-ranch event where the owner whips the clothes off his wife in a corral) and American foreign policy (this was apparently supposed to be a tip for Jimmy Carter telling him to whip the Iranian hostage situation).

She could be representing the Asian women of the media, submissive and exotic, or the fact that China was finally entering the World market (in 78) and Japan was threatening the American market.

[FuckingxJerryxLewis]

With DEVO, there's generally more than meets the eye (or ear, as the case may be).

[tacomaster22]

0:54 lol wtf?

[CharlesSchmendiman]

I love Devo. I think Whip It should be 2009's AYB/Rickroll

[dogterd]

Behind the goofy video, the lyrics of this song are really a great kick in the ass.

"Give the past the slip"!

[owlman33]

Devo was strange back then too....

We were all like what tha...!??

Catchy tune.., but weird lookin' band.

[metalliclark]

i cant believe that in the 70s people thought this was a cool and serious music video....i just hope these mens children dont see this video lol

[cazadorlal]

esta bueno el tema

lastima que es medio putanga

[Znl0931]

0:54 wtf is she doing????

[Makinghouses]

clapping her hands xD

[Znl0931]

look at her face

[UsableLT]

nice hats :D

[ca280491]

whip it good ! XD

[ldelcarmen]

Had a chance a few years ago to work with Mark & Bob Mothersbaugh as well as Bob and Gerald Casale. All a bunch of talented, nice guys. The only Devo poster in their studio hangs in their studio men's room.

[SuperTankBrothers]

1:15 uhhhh wtf?

[worldmayhem]

lots of drugs in the 80's, remember that.

[dannycantwait]

[gameguy09]

[GovenGordon]

What the hell happened at the end? "Ohhh that Alan!"

[paweldun]

Like that video- someone told me it was the first video ever made with colors, but I'm not sure it's right.

[ThemasterJay]

[Raine2142]

Those outfits they have on are amazing!

[andruchina]

[legendno1]

[velomicro]

Devo rules!

[badchad300038]

i love this song its so cool

[MsMetric]

i cant even think of any other words to describe this video besides......... what.

[Garvarino]

Mark (lead singer)can now be seen drawing pictures on Noggin's Yo Gabba Gabba

[voicebeyond]

Oh..I get it.

They are the cowboys bitches,

..and the girls are there so that we dont think its the village people..

[s3cnd2non3]

Stop*....@:55LOL

[kaykev89]

wow...i never knew i meant whip it good as in a sexual way. i thought it meant whip it like as a yoyo

[4463013]

i want that cross-eyed freak chinese chick bad

[4463013]

where can i get a shirt like the band is wearing?

[maggot102194]

this song kicks toatl ass and if yea hate it yur a faggot i mean common he whipped her clothes off

[bigwillietheb]

Good song but Goofy ass video

[RealPineappleMan]

The more I see of this video, the less I like it. When I was younger, I didn't know what was happening to the woman in the video. Now I get the feeling that the poor woman was finally whipped to death at the end. The video is sort of sadistic. I don't like this video anymore.

[Arricinar]

xD He whips her down to her underwear then whips off the underwear. xD Thats why no one screams or anything their just like :O! Orly? xD If ya dun like it, dun watch it

[fuckamericanidiot]

do you wanna know what really happens afterwards? alan myers (the drummer) accidentally trips up and falls off camera, people probably laughed, and then everyone went about their business. it's not real. i'm serious

[imansky]

attractive woman?She looks like Grace Jones

[RealPineappleMan]

I know you would watch the video without the woman in it. I was speaking for most heterosexual men like myself. I wasn't speaking for you.

[andruchina]

Hahahaha XD

[RedNietzsche]

just awsome!

[SxiRHCheer2]

AHAHA! WHAT THE FUCk

[NinetiesYouth]

Was Mothersbaugh the main songwriter for this band?

[mnokeymagic]

lmao so random

[fressen]

80s videos were amazing and to have lived through them when i was a teenager, is priceless. those young people under twenty have no idea what they missed... i feel bad, but hey, you've got youtube

[GraveyardPagan]

Gotta love Devo.

I may be only 14 but god damnit you gotta love the 80's videos.

[alexzog]
