Anyone who was there knows DEVO was a unbelievable band. Their live shows were incredible. They were then and still are one of a kind. AND they need to be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

I was at one live show in the late '80s and a nude woman with a strap-on dildo walked out on stage. Still don't know if it was part of the show or a prank someone pulled on them.

I performed a lip-synch / dance performance to this song at a talent show when I was in 8th grade. I dressed all in black, made a set of white shoulder-pads out of poster-board, and made my own piano/keytar, complete with a leather strap and painted-on keys, out of 3/4" plywood. (It looked more like an artist's palette, but it did the job.) I got a nice ovation, and the highlight of my junior high school life was that the HOTTEST 9th grade cheerleader, Stephanie Angevine, signed my yearbook that year and complimented me on my performance. She said, "I liked your talent show thingy." As a 5 foot 1, 145 pound butterball, I thought..."I'm gonna MARRY that girl!!!"

Yes, this seems a very rare instance of the b'hoys performing on national teevee -- and about the only instrument that was plugged in and real was Mark's microphone. Watch Bob 2's playing and note that they rarely (if ever) used those keyboards in actual live performances. He is, as always, a good actor though. Creepy -- this was the beginning of the end for them -- but there are some interesting interviews floating around out there of this very visit to NYC. diligent spud will find 'em.

@MEATYOKERRable Devo is a prime example of an overlooked band from this era. To the broad public they were only known for "Whip It" (which in my mind is far from one of their betters songs) and they weren't "commercially viable" enough to become more than just a cult band. To get a clue what happened during the mid 80's listen to Dead Kennedy's "MTV-Get off the air!". Not saying all the commercial bands of the 80's were bad but a lot got way more airtime than they deserved for their talent.
