Thanks for sharing this!
The Fab Five also did another Christmas promo for MTV at the same time, dressed in the same New Traditionalists outfits, in which Mark says, "We all know Christmas can be a SAD time." I haven't seen it in 30 years -- do you, or does anyone, have it or know where I can see it?
Thanks!

'Merry Christmas' from Devo? Awesome. These days, the 'politically correct' entertainment industry would just say 'Happy Holidays' because 'Jesus' is offensive to their distorted sensibilities.

@RetroJenny actually glammed up robots could be kinda cool

Those were the days you needed talent to make it in the music industry. Pretty soon there will be glammed up robots entertaining you.

Devo making MTV promos? Holy shit. Today that would be totally unthinkable, since MTV itself is proof that De-evolution is real.
A music channel that started as a brave new, independent force in which music that wasn't played by commercial radio or regular tv channels got introduced to the ignorant masses, devolved into a dumbed down giant, who shovs down marketable and profitable "music" into the minds (?) of the young.
At least in the 90's they mostly played music, unlike today.

HA!! Here Devo are endorsing MTV!! Funny thing is, it wasn't too long after this that MTV began playing ohh Micheal Jackson, Def Lepard, Kenny Logins, U2, Phil Collins, Huey Lewis, Bon Jovi et all and just kind'a forgot about THESE guys.
