Devo - Dr Detroit

[@DTM-Books]

One of the great things about early '80s New Wave is that so much of it was just goofy. Bands like the B-52s and Devo and all that. So many music videos were just like this - silly, strange, offbeat. You have to remember that "music videos" were brand new, and it was a very open and experimental time. The artists were free to create whatever they wanted. Toss in the computer revolution, Pac-Man, Rubik's Cube, Max Headroom, yadda yadda...An interesting moment in pop culture that's forgotten.

it's a shame this isn't on Devo's greatest hits...

Happy New year 2020! DEVO fans!

[@brucegordon7248]

That steel guitar fit's in there perfectly.

"No need to look, he's not in the book. The doctor's not an MD. When he gets done, they won't have to run. What he does he only does for free." This song is so tongue-in-cheek it's hysterical. @2:20: Checking her pulse like this is a good way to get slapped, sued or your license revoked!

[@Crash517]

You can find the song on Devo's cd Pioneers Who Got Scalped, it's track 6 on disc 2.

[@NigelBlues]

For some reason, this song entered my head to day and I'd been singing it away. Good to see it on here. Cheers

[@henrym6411]

Easily Devo's best song and video! Thanks for the rare upload Alain!

[@CemetarysNeighbor]

[@miodolcissimoamore]

Amo esses Nerds ❤

[@WoodRatGirl]

@10pauin Sorry 10pauin, you are correct! The song is from the Dr.Detroit Soundtrack and it's the theme song. They also perform another song in the film and on the soundtrack called, "Luv-Luv." And yes I know Wikipedia isn't 100%

[@JohnnyLovely2]

@gamesDAMNED yeah, Devo & The B-52s are my two favorite bands lol i just wish i'd lived when this cool stuff was popular

[@WoodRatGirl]

10pauin - It's also from the album "Shout" by Devo.

@10pauin You can find the song on Devo's cd Pioneers Who Got Scalped, it's track 6 on disc 2.

[@luisllorens70]

Lots of drum machine on this track. Alan Meyers left Devo not long after this.

[@DrLeroyGreen]

I think this is the first video I ever saw with someone in a latex catsuit.

[@Redheadedgolem]

@10pauin I don't think this version was ever released on CD - at least not in the U.S. There is an extended "Dance Mix" that is on Pioneers That Got Scalped.

[@LuminousGuy]

@10pauin It`s on the "Pioneers who got scalped" Anthology two disc cd set my friend.

[@Clay3613]

No, it's on DVD and VHS!

[@BadgerPat]

Ahh, what a great flick and cool song! W\hen Dan Aykroyd was actually funny!

[@thedirective]

kinda like this songwise now and then, just not as instantly as other devo songs. the video never truly felt like a devo video to me tho....More like what WB probably felt DEVO was like way back when anyway: that "wacky zany band" The 2 girls kinda came off like Devo's version of Duran Duran cheesecake imagery, but throght the devo filter....Gotta love the scene with Bob 2 and the "rising" towards the end.

[@EmoDeathStar121]

@10pauin There is no CD is only on Vynial :D

[@WoodRatGirl]

@colemann76 Yes I know that now. I cleared up that error with 10pauin, a month ago now.

[@coldacre]

a yummy Fran Drescher in this too!

[@JCStorm76]

@WoodRatGirl it wasn't on Shout.

[@EvilEddtheRed]

[@Twilight902101701]

[@JCStorm76]

@colemann76 Ok. my mistake

[@nuwavething]

[@icychopstix]

what the hell is he holding at 43 secs?!

[@EmoDeathStar121]

Strange most people take this movie as a joke yes some parts are stupid but they really expected it to be a hit Movie in fact Dan was wighting the second one before this was released.The cast had a contract that if they they made a Profit they would be allowed to do a second second one.They had a Budget of 8 million and made 8 million and 100dollars so they broke even and made a very small profit they were making the second one as they had a contract. But Dan got married and a better movie role

[@JMarinelli]

Even at their most commercial, Devo were weirder than shit.

[@thebassplayer5584]

Is it just a thing to have Asians in Devo videos? lol

[@junedeon]

They'll probably be removing this soon too. Bastards.

@10pauin You can find the song on Devo's cd Pioneers Who Got Scalped, it's track 6 on disc 2.
