Devo - That's Good

I'm not sure I ever saw this video . . . but this was my favorite DEVO song when I was younger. "Oh No! It's Devo" was one of my first two albums - I received it and the first A Flock of Seagulls album for Christmas. I asked for both.



Apparantly this ran afoul of MTV and had to be edited . . . yeah, DEVO getting censored for explicit context. Heh.

I like the cover better: Devo, "Head Like a Hole"

I had no idea this cover existed until today:

Devo - That's Good

This is my favorite track off of my first ever Devo album. Which, along with the Flock of Seagulls album, were the first two I ever owned.



From an adult perspective, this is a really good Devo song, but it's surpassed by "Freedom of Choice" and "Girl U Want" and "Uncontrollable Urge." But it's still right up there with those tracks for me. Plus, they played it on the show "Square Pegs." Remember that show? Johnny reminded me of Jessie from The Criminals.

And just remember, Devo was right about everything.

Polysics - Lucky Star

Polysics just keeps cementing themselves in my head as "Japanese Speed DEVO meets Art of Noise."



None of that is a bad thing.

Attery Squash - DEVO Was Right About Everything

Thanks to Brian Train for posting this . . . I never heard it before, but I like it.



I knew I was onto something good even back in the day. One of the first albums I ever owned was Oh, No! It's DEVO. I still love that one.

Superchunk doing Devo's "Girl U Want"

I love this cover of Devo's "Girl U Want" by Superchunk:




It's not as good, in my mind, as the original - but it's still excellent.
