Fridays: Transphibians/Devo

This is from 1980 or so, from a particularly good Fridays show. Devo was introducing their New Traditionalist album, and the Transphibians skit was a great warmup for the audience.

I have no idea if instrumental bridge to "Jerkin' Back and Forth" is recorded elsewhere. It vaguely sounds like something from "Freedom of Choice".

Apologies for the quality - it's only slightly better than something I saw posted recently. Too bad ABC doesn't have a searchable archive of these things.

Yeah, that's "Kramer."

That's also the NuTra Theme performed at the beginning of their New traditionalists shows! A rare example of a lost tune!!

Bring it back, guys!!

Oh my gosh at 5:00 isn't that the Theme From Adventures Of The Smart Patrol? I had no idea they made that song THAT long ago...

The intrumental piece is called the "Nutra Theme." They played it at the beginning of their New Traditionalist shows, and it usually lead into the song "Going Under."
