DEVO - Praying Hands - live 1978

DEVO played this song in 1978.... and again in May 2009 in a special show in London, with all the other songs of their very first album !

" You got your left hand
you got your right hand
the left hand's diddling
while the right hand goes to work
you got both hands
you got praying hands
they pray for no man

o.k....relax...
assume the position
go into doggie submission

wash your hands 3 times a day
always do what your mom and dad say
brush your teeth in the following way
wash your hands 3 times a day "

I love how whenever they ask "What is your right hand doing?" *nobody* knows how exactly to respond.

I wonder what kind of response they're actually looking for. I mean, what could you say to the question, "What is your X hand doing?"

[fuckamericanidiot]

what do they say?

[fuckamericanidiot]

yeah like on the other 78 video, the guy just goes aaaggghhh!

This is an awesome live version! I like how they stay true to the song and do the screeching synthesizer bit in the beginning. A lot of live versions of this song don't have that.

I saw Devo live and they did this they song. They were incredible!!!
