Lotta morons running around that can't fix their own robots. But between like 1997 and 1999 things were good, huh? We were recognized, for a brief flicker in time. No pun intended.

Yep; it's art (but you can dance to it). The uneven bar-count accounts for the 'perpetual motion' feel of the 'Gut Feeling' segment. It's a rare compositional technique but other examples include the Pixies (many, as with 'Is She Weird'), Wire ('Culture Vultures') and Brian Eno ('The True Wheel'). Pretty sure Bowie would have used it somewhere as well. This example by Devo is also a truly magnificent piece of rock music Love the way it builds in intensity over those five obsessive chords...
