Devo Corporate Anthem

[@Turtle152]

I'd like to thank KZbin for the irony of making me sit thru an ad before letting me hear the Corporate Anthem.

[@sharpasaneraser]

no irony here. just the appropriate overture to their corporate anthem.

[@sanicyouth6540]

+Turtle152 If you don't like ads you can get adblock.

[@Thoughtful-]

Aye good shout there.

[@MrCyberly]

Turtle152 used Sarcasm! It's super effective!

[@zorantaylor3190]

Yeah, I kinda figured someone would have beat me to this punch, but I'd just like to add that, as satisfying as the Something For Everyone album/tour was, I think there was one missed opportunity there - they should have done a new arrangement of this tune that sounds exactly like the Tim Hortons ad that actually played before this video for me - in other words, a jaunty acoustic guitar/tambourine/xylophone shuffle with the lead melody articulated by double-tracked two-octave whisling. I would have lost my fucking shit if they did that.

[@judsonleach5248]

Everything important I ever learned was from DEVO. My school in Columbus Ohio never taught me about "dead fictitious entities"... But DEVO did! Thanks for the REAL education fellow Ohioans!!!

[@The_OneManCrowd]

If the spud fits, wear it!

[@ZaineGriffOfficial]

Devo was by far the most creative band in the punk/new wave period and certainly the most original.

[@harrybloom9213]

I stand up and put my hand on my heart each time I hear our universal anthem!

[@sandrosoler4275]

The entire crowd should during shows

Damn I remember standing at attention to this Anthem and I'm 44 now ..Yikes..They Still Rock!!!

[@martinmaz95]

Awesome brother! We still stand in attention to this day!

[@karllux-d6g]

In just barely a minute, proof that it's been an underrated monument of an album for 43 years. Duty Now for the future. Or what's left of it.

[@dmg7111]

Found this on Rolling Stone- Bhahahahahaha "When I first wrote it, I sent it to Uganda for [President] Idi Amin to be his new theme song," Mothersbaugh recalls. "It had lyrics like, 'I come down the river to kill many people!' I sent it to him and, of course, I never got any answer back. So we decided that it could be our corporate anthem."

[@coreycox2345]

What a comedian. That reminds me of the song he wrote from the perspective of a random killer, Dazza G.

[@des5978]

The most epic video on youtube

[@PhooBoy]

The last band with a philosophy; a real reason to exist and make music. Devolve and enjoy.

[@Squeaky1423]

A vision of the future, I loved this band!

[@obnoxiousnickname]

some of the best sarcasm in a music video I've ever seen. Devo is an inspiration to nerds geeks dweebs and spazoids everywhere!

[@jonsey617]

My 3 year old watches Mark Mothersbaugh on Yo Gabba Gabba, I used to listen to Devo when I was 19, who'd of thought.

[@THEsuperCourier]

Inspired to tears.

I just had to comment on this piece of art.

[@reversefulfillment9189]

I always play this when I'm making potato salad.

[@tommygarson8592]

I always thought this was a great way to open an album or their gigs. its like they're indoctrinating you into their terrible world. its a warm welcome to devolution. this is the new age. whether you like it or not, here it iz

[@alanstrom2221]

All DEVO fans have a great sense of humour.

Hendrix did a version of this that brought the house down at Woodstock.

Holy shit! .. . it sounds just like Clockwork Orange music.

[@chibrax54]

Yeah but this is not as good as clockwork orange music

[@Oberstgreup]

Well most of the CO music was composed by Beethoven, Rossini, and Purcell, so...

[@espresso5512]

THAT'S WHAT MY FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT IT!

this is so much more than a music video. this is a visual manifesto.

And, even though they were considered "avant garde" in their day (I was there), sadly the enslavement of the populace to the corporations has become very real in the last 20 years.

[@larrywilliams67]

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! 2018 ! great DEVO FANS !

[@drrjim]

I still get emotional watching this.....

[@moarinternets]

I walked down the aisle to this song. It seemed appropriate for an American wedding.

[@KneelB4Bacon]

All I can think of when I see this clip is the scene from Weird Al's, "Dare to be Stupid" music video where the Devo guys stick ice cream cones to their foreheads. :)

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

Weird Al is more DEVO than you.

[@marcfedak]

The video is perfect for the sombre, minimalist, futuristic corporate anthem.

[@nedim_guitar]

I will put Devo in the "pop" genre just in order to make across my point, which is: I wish there was art, thought and meaning in today's pop music...

[@tacokristianbean]

Youre right sir. this is a year later, and iv actually realized the importance of being patriotic. I will always love devo, but i will never choose this over our country. God bless you, your father and every other vet especially. i appreciate everyone that serves in the military.

[@k.j.wistrom7709]

Fuck you phony patriot military worship idiots. You fail to see the irony in Devo's mocking just your sort of horseshit.

[@42whatelse]

This sounded like a beautiful trumpets playing anthem of the pretty planet, Planet Anubis. Our and their national anthem. And We are Devo. And we are the Devo Dynomutts, Dogs Wonders!

[@user-qg2uf8jp3h]

GENIOUS ! MASTERPIECE !

[@longhairwayne]

Brilliant,simple,and cheesey.Love it.

I think they're saying it sounds like an American version of the German electronica band Kraftwerk. Which, come to think of it, it does.

Devo was writing songs like Jocko-homo in 1973, If their roots are punk it's in an organic way and they came up with the sound on their own.

[@DickPHC]

The "egg things" which you are talking about are Mr. Potatohead toys. There is as much released Devo non-music footage as there is music video, and the first time I recall seeing the Potatohead toys was in a General Boy segment (You can find a few videos with him in it on KZbin). The segment starts with him saying "So, you've chosen to attend a devo performance" where he glosses over the the reasons to be careful attending a Devo show. If it was in one of their music videos, I cant recall it.
