"No. The other song!" Futurama.

[TheOfficialComokanu]

0:59 Jenson Button in the green T shirt?

[MADRIANF]

Excelente, vigentes por siempre.

[MoleLoL]

0:56 pineapple man?

[MrCarl220]

@Stevetheperformer Oh I know, I apologize, no problem!

[pramboy09]

grew up as a kid loving thier tunes, this was 2002?? shit! no offence to the guys but they hadn't aged well!

[TimmyAndTammyScumbag]

They needed to bump this up a few BPMs. Dragging a little. Tight, sounding good, just a bit slow compared to the original studio version.

[capchrisvt]

@TimmyAndTammyScumbag I guess they mellowed a little with age. Hard to crank up the bpms.

[JeanDoe80]

@TimmyAndTammyScumbag You trying singing the same song for 25 years, and see if you still play it the same way. It's their song they can sing it anyway they please.

[majorkeybaree]

@TimmyAndTammyScumbag you should manage bands

[theoutremerlibrary]

Great band ! I see the 'z10schillz' implying they are Muslims are spreading their z10hate

on all the comments boards through y/tube.

At least Muslims aren't FRAUDZ'

[Hatejews1]

American decadence.....

[mozartfx1]

@Hatejews1 Fuck yea!!!

[Hatejews1]

@mozartfx1 ... Another from the land of brokenass... ah,ah,ah...

[itchyparts1]

The b-52s just did it better than devo... That's why they are in the hall of fame and devo isn't

[tronfire]

@itchyparts1 I wonder why I see more DEVO than B-52's now a days

[h879xx]

@itchyparts1 They should be kicked back out for doing love shack

[FredC1968]

@itchyparts1 Devo is to smart for the RRHOF.

[persephoned3]

@itchyparts1 ????You are not allowed at my party Friday. The rest of you can come. BYOB.

[livebigly]

@itchyparts1 The B-52s are NOT in the Hall of Fame. And to save you the trouble, neither are The Bangles, the Go-Gos or Toni Basil.

[postusinterruptus]

Back in the day, there certainly was a physical element to this act that made it interesting. Frankly, listening to "Girl U Want" performed by these paunch bellied, double chinned, jowl meisters, looks ridiculous.

[sparkicus]

Ha! I was at this show! I'm somewhere out there in the crowd. Awesome show. We were surprised how they all still kick ass.

[kiwifucker1]

hey...its just a song...leave yer fat unwrinkled head at home...bird.

[markbatch]

does anyone know the other instrumental at the start of an early devo album???

it was a fast paced almost dance track

not sure which album tho

thanks

[baddernoff]

damn as good as day 1

[ThePositiveAussie]

WoW just WoW.



[TheRoryList]

freelance whales do it better, in my opinion.

[bullyhc]

Devo + Josh Freese = AWESOMENESS!! Wish I had of been there...

[weezerfootie]

tight like fuck yo!

[MrNintendoo64]

i remind sudenly a Tank Girl movie!!

[inspiralroses]

Bucket+Head, yipppieeeeeeyeeaaahhhhaaaaaaa!­!! Anytime, anywhere!!!!

[apologeticsman]

One hit wonder come back of the century

[TutsRevenge]

Whats with the Steely Dan hate? Apples and Oranges, really.

[SafetyPinKiten]

@EroKisfune they've played Lollapalooza in recent years and still tour (not that they need the money, especially Mark. He's been making music for cartoons for years)

[EroKisfune]

i wonder where they are nowadays

[VECTIZ]

amazing :)

[ooperj]

used to cut sensimilla with a razor blade and then smoke it........i did gimme some!!!!!!

[ooperj]

i liked devo b4 they were cool

[dplessel]

Not only WERE these guys great, they sound even BETTER now! They must be the only ones not devolving!

[bersaba]

Worst audience ever. (ok, maybe not, but damn are they all dead or what?)

[junkyturd]

@bersaba LOL! no doubt did they just stumble in off the street or what!?

[HwoodAKAlunchbox]

AQUABATS



[juliadennehy]

Any way you slice it and dice it, Devo kicks ass. =)

[nottippinem]

they will always be legends who cares about hall of fame........cause you ......are the fans i want

[TheWhmaxwell]

Mark needs to shave that thing :) Awesome video.. thanks!

[n2existance]

I miss Alan :(

[hackertjennifer8]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darthmaxrat88]

most original band ever

[anormalnick]

legends



[leiposuctie]

i love how....well....now that they're old and devolved, so to speak, they're still kicking ass, even though the sound doesn't sound tight, while it is.

it almost sounds like it's as old and devolved as them, maybe it's just because it's a little slower, and maybe because of the quality of the recording.

epic musicians of an epic scale, still not recognized as much as they should've been and should still be though

[algor65]

great band great song, greetings from Italy!!!

[prettynoose8497]

a 0:19, whip that microphone.... and whip it good!!

[mrssamichlvr]

how do i go about voting them in >.<^

[Sambarre]

I'm so glad I decided to check out more on "One Hit Wonders". Thanks to that label I've been able to find bands like Devo, and Gary Numan as appreciate their music for the amazing that it is.

[swampdodger33]

@Stevetheperformer

and wrote the music for "Rugrats"

[njnorth1]

@Stevetheperformer

One hit wonders has to do with their singles selling and getting into the top ten, it often has nothing to do with the quality of their music.

[njnorth1]

@Stevetheperformer

Touchy, aren't we?

Anyway, the comment wasn't meant as an accusation or slagging you for called them one hit wonders. Personally I don't care whether you did or not, for the average person it's a self evident truth.

The opportunity was exploited to make the intended point that just because DEVO did or seems to have had only one significantly charting single (Whip It), it shouldn't be regarded as a judgement on the quality of their other recordings.

[Stevetheperformer]

@njnorth1 My point was that I did not call them one hit wonders. What I said was just the opposite. I seemed "touchy" because I recieved so many replies commenting on something that I never said- so many that I got tired of responding and just deleted my comments

[njnorth1]

@Stevetheperformer

Received and noted,

Enjoy your Holiday!

[Stevetheperformer]

@njnorth1 Thanks- You too

[anto1191]

They never take those hats off you know.

[jooble]

tank girl <3

[colm36]

yeah balls to the hall of fame..DEVO!

[ugodsgirl]

he is the artist for yo gabba gabba, the lead singer

[ugodsgirl]

he is the artist for yo gabba gabba

[wassupdam]

I think they're more towards electro

[andreaprodan]

Who gives a SHIT about The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame... and who fucking invented it...

Don't tell me that if DEVO is put in there it makes them a better band. That's ludicrous!!!

How many genius movies never made a stupid 'OSCAR'? A massive ammount.

[dazincalculation]

Fantastic! What energy for a bunch of older guys...gee it gives me hope & inspiration

to get over my mid 40ish crisis! -Daz in Oz

[jmm1000]

I knew devo. devo was a friend of mine,

these may be men, sir, but they are not devo.

sadly, its time they take their own advice, and admit its all over.

[TheMysticlaw]

Devo is not in the rock n roll hall of fame? figure that out I guess because the hall of fame SUCKS! So does Cleveland for that matter sleepy boring city you know mistake by the lake! that's why Lebron split dullsville.

[Backup218]

LOLcoolj gets in and not Devo rock and roll hall of fame is a joke

[mysticfluid]

unsung heroes of our time. people and the music industry should give enough credit to what they have contributed.

[Cheesecakemilitia2]

Wow this song Electric six misheard and thought it was just a girl at a gaay bar i totally hear it XD i think thats why they made the song gay bar

[cadmiumheights]

Freese makes DEVO purrrrrr!

[johncfl]

I tried stopping this at the point of the redheaded fan comes into frame as I think he look so cool -- and the damn youtube switches to another song!

[bogus67]

DEVO RULES! San Francisco politics SUCKS !!! REVIVE AMERICA ! ! REMOVE THE ELITIST fakes that want to "CONTROL THE PEOPLE". I wouldnt let NANCY PELOSI be in charge of my fish tank, let alone the HOUSE OF REPS!!! Are you people STUPID! She needs to go. How about putting somebody that has actually had a REAL job in there? You think?

[SonictheBedHog]

good audio.

[Bonedaddy500]

Saw Devo at Coachella 2010 and there was alot of new gen converts there who were jammin to Devo and loving it. They were carrying the word to all, "ARE WE NOT MEN? ARE WE NOT MEN? ARE WE NOT MEN? ARE WE NOT MEN?" profound words today

[eatatmargos]

Please join the CRUSADE to bring DEVO back to SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE as musical guest & MOLLY RINGWALD as HOSTESS... we are on FACEBOOK & would LIKE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

Will you be DEVO enough to support the cause?

[bookzero]

@eatatmargos TOKEN!

[rememberingthedream]

are we not men?

we are DEVO

[millalonco]

la raja

[musictlc1]

If kids today becames familar with Devo they would go Ape S***!

[DocterTen]

@musictlc1

Unfortunately, the kids of today are too goddamn stupid.

[ColeteMartin]

@musictlc1 I'm a kid :) i love Devo. it's possible, not all of us are idiots.

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

@ColeteMartin hey, i'm a kid too. im 16, you?

[ColeteMartin]

@JohnnyLovelyOfficial 14 :)

[ThorGoLucky]

Fun! I'm happy to see that they're still performing and making fun music.

[Loudguitars]

what the hell was he thinking with that goat tee?? I almost thought it was a devo tribute band, till they did the close up

[ebbtuber]

Remember that George Burns song, " I Wish I Was 18 Again " .....

[strykerfan]

slower in the older days i see lol

[rosshocking]

@strykerfan

[betofonsecaalfonso]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Jeddystardog]

this is friggin great !

[karatebankrobber]

Nah the crowd actually wants to hear the music rather than be crowd surfing, poseur douches is all.

[Daddybopper]

The drum beat is like clock work. Better with age.

[devolve42]

was that audience sprayed with nite-nite juice, or what?

[meadowrock]

What a dead crowd! When I saw these guys back in the late 70's, we were slammin' hard!

Kids these days....

[ILBT57]

Right on Comrade! Devo toured Australia in the late 70's - along with the B52s, the Cure & XTC, the Pretenders (among others) and boy did we rip into it :-D

[madmex66]

They ROOOCK MAN!

[kingkonaha]

some wierd dudes right there

[AlbertusdeGluxiano]

Devo ringraziare il giornale per ragazzi "Il Giornalino"se conosco i"Devo"e sopratutto questa canzone.Una volta lo stavo leggendo e c'era un fumetto di nome "pinky"dove un coniglio rosa (giornalista a caccia di scoop) rimaneva stordito dal suo walkman mentre ascoltava "girl u want"dei Devo e da allora li ho apprezzati anch'io perche la curiosità mi ha spinto a conoscerli .grazie DEVO,grazie pinky.

[frostedhead]

This is sounding pretty slow... But hell, it's DEVO!!!!

[taffysaur]

Woah, they still sound so tight!

[raggabass]

How Devo is not in the Rock Hall of Fame is criminal!!

They were war ahead of their time socially and musically.

Com;on, if a group like Steely Dan can get in and Devo can't?

VOTE THEM IN!!!

[MarquinhiosBrown]

Did they have to be there to be a great band???... I don't think so.

DEVO rules!!!!

[blueneon]

HELL-F'N-YEAH!! I TOTALLY AGREE!!

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

@raggabass screw the rock hall of fame. DEVO are too good for that

[Backup218]

I agree lolCoolj and not Devo in rock and roll hall of fame ludicrous

[reconstructiv]

@raggabass does the rock and roll hall of fame even mean anything to anyone? theyve added some terrible stuff to it

[Dronelord27]

@raggabass Steely Dan rules!

[renecogo]

@raggabass jackkrrrimmmmminal?

[PERAGR0]

@raggabass AIn't the the sad fuckin' truth. I mean, can anyone aside from dirty hippies name a Steely Dan song other than Rikki Don't Lose that Number or Reelin in the Years?

[atreewithnolife]

@raggabass thats the truest thing you can say!!Devo are from another time and world!!

[RobertFuentes]

Is that Pyno Man at 0:57?

[younghoss]

That song always reminds me of Candy-O by the Cars.

I guess they are both New Wave and from about the same yr.

[frostedhead]

younghoss The punk isn't the music, it's the attitude

[younghoss]

It is the music(or was) Punk was a revolution against the slick, highly produced, expensive studio sound that was being put out. The name punk music ,then, meant a revolution against such sound- the idea being that kids -or young people- or punks- could not afford such elaborate productions. That is why the musicians played guitar, drum, keyboard, not dubbing and overdubbing sound, with multiple layers. Their finished product was just like we'd hear live in a garage practice.

[ArtsPatron2008]

Lively!

[GreyElf3K]

I love it. After all these years, Devo's still rocking out with the pyramid hats. I wish I could've been there to see them perform.

[raggabass]

@GreyElf3K

It's not called a pyramid hat, it's a energy dome!!

[s6y9l]

I always thought they were flower pots. Devo is still ahead of their time.

[POPARTPRODUCTlONS]

ARE WE NOT MEN?

I love some of the comments from the younger generation on this video! I just want to give them a lil' fartherly wisdow!

You'll be that age someday, see if you can do any better! LOL! Pops Out

[isandrich]

Waaahhh!! Where was I?? I live in San Jose and missed this. Saw them at Lolapalooza and they were soooo good!

[KookyMiss2]

Wot a song!

[sahbian]

Soundgarden's version is also good.

[yonahroth6501]

slow

[ddrumguy]

way ahead of their time... take a good look they guys are legends.. I think the band sounds great !! SO glad Mark and the boys are still bringin the sound like only they can. also marks vocals are dead on !

[ILBT57]

Absolutely spot on...Been an Aussie Devo fan for 30 years!

[nopingrules]

devo still rules! i would love to see them

[ssit72]

100% AMERICAN IDIOTS.

[TheLastnine]

there is something so sad about it all

[FlimSmable]

Mark looks totally spud with his stash and goatee!! De-evolution at its finest !

[xXBlinDXx12]

everyone is fuckin fat man lol except for the guitarist. i think he has a disease

[horsesflu]

holy, the members are really living up to their band name

[ArmpitNoises]

Wow... they sound like shit here.

[Trendkillertrendy]

YOUR DICK LACKS PENIS

[maybeimtaylor]

Jerry has the best dance moves. look at 'im sway.

[Nick5379]

I SAW HIM DRAW A MONKEY! HAH!

[chindonger]

He Drew lots of things I saw it ! I saw it all...Didnt realize it was him but I saw it too!

[vealer2]

yeah it seems the dognuts slowed them but hell its DEVO what ya expect ? thats what it means DUhhh !!!!!!!

[NickCave13]

Looks like Bob 2 didn't stop eating the donuts, after The Freedom of Choice video was shot.

[Sscouters7]

oh yeah devo when there old! There still soundin just as good!

[KoivuTheHab]

Where is the speed?

[GenreConspiracyRock]

Danny Elfman is awesome... he (just like any old rocker guy of this particular mindset) has lost his sense of reality and has slipped into his own little world... Danny Elfman is still a fucking genius and a better composer than any of you could ever be...

oh and devo kick the teeth out of any other band 3v4r

[tacomadc]

Such a great band - so glad they are still around. So kind of them to tour even though they are so busy doing TV and movies.

Wish Danny Elfman was half as cool and dedicated to his fans.

[kpearsall]

That's not his problem. Danny Elfman is losing his hearing, which is a little important in his line of work. He can't perform live any more or he could risk never being able to work again.

[tacomadc]

I've read him say that in interviews - but I suspect it's an excuse, and he's just making too much money in movies and touring is too damned hard work for little reward.

There are in ear monitors and all kinds of things to make sure you don't hurt your ears these days - oh well, if I were in his shoes...

Luckily I saw Oingo Boingo in concert twice and they were AMAZING!!!

[19HALLOWEENJACK84]

Very sorry to hear that DE is having hearing problems. He does so well with TV and film yet ya gotta admit, OINGO BOINGO sucked. BIG TIME!!!

[monster4josh]

Hey, break your momma's back, already, mister "bad-boy" punk!!!! HA-HA-HA! Piss and vinegar is all you got, boy.

[eckerbat]

Well, not their best but still nice!

[newdawgone]

where was this video filmed? they still sound good

[Robtarded]

live at city hall SF 2002, you fucking idiot

[pcsbyte]

Solid Punk DEVO. Good Stuff.

[chrisww254]

they still know how to play .... ^^ and they can still this song just right .... ^^

[monster4josh]

How funny that some people think this is PUNK! This is POST-PUNK, in case you missed the 80s!

[impactus81]

Well if you want to make a fuss about it, its technically considered New Wave by music historians, which can be related to punk in certain ways

[mozo2112]

Love devo!

[raychell29]

Thank you for putting this up!

[Morispo]

Esto tipos son lo maximo!!!!! llevo escuchandolos mas de 28 años

[pcsbyte]

Good Stuff. Pure Punk.

[pcsbyte]

Dig ya guys.

[pcsbyte]

Awesome.. Thanks guys.

[pcsbyte]

Fuckin  A

[pcsbyte]

Ya guys Rock.

[Luvmealready]

why do old people have to play everything slower?

[mozo2112]

does your mom know you're using her computer?

[GlennnD]

Electric Six's Song "Gaybar" Is actualy based on this song.

[sassygirljulia]

I remember listening to this on 8-track in the Ford Maverick - seriously. Great tune then - great tune now.

[panther105]

God! They've devolved completely and become.......OLD FARTS!!!

[pcsbyte]

Wish I Was There.

[sawyerboy13]

@blacksabbath62 Who the fuck are you talking to. probably yourself

[Electric1Shadow5]

haha, josh freese pulled a freese twirl even on Devo!
