Devo - Peek A Boo (Official Music Video)

[@B-A-L]

The videos for every DEVO song were just as much ahead of their time as the songs were!

[@MissMiddleEarthling]

I will always love that awesome synthesizer outro at around 2:39

[@BeCoShooter]

I remember showing this to a friend when it first aired while we were on acid. He completely freaked out, and laughed for 30 minutes. Great times.

[@jackismname]

If I saw that on acid I would freak the fuck out... but not in a good way

[@Reptilewildfire]

Love it

[@anonymoushuman8344]

The whole album has that speedy-acidy feel.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

LOL. You don't need to be on anything to realize this video is weird as fu+k!!!

[@thediseaseisthecure]

I made one of my friends watch Hellraiser on acid once, he wasn’t right for a while. In my defense, he was kind of a dick anyway

[@godzillafan4033]

Absolutely one of my favorite bands. So ahead of their time. They changed the game.

[@edisongustavomunozvega5635]

De ahí ya viene la música electrónica

[@emeraldcaves]

I’ve seen DEVO perform this song a few times live and I still cannot shake the fear I get when I watch them in the best way possible 😂 their visuals are uncanny

[@gordondafoe6347]

These guys put on a terrific live show. They were very talented, tight musicians.

[@FarmersAreDummies]

Hell yeah.

[@victorslab]

There still do.

[@teletubetodd]

I laughed my head off when I first saw this in college, to the extent that I virtually became part of the "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA" of the video. My buddy John poked fun at my giddiness by saying that Devo "were all philosophy majors in college" (which I was), adding to my ha-has. Thanks for bringing back this memory. Rest in peace, Bob and Alan.

[@themagus5906]

I believe that Casale and Mothersbaugh were both art majors in Akron, no? They remind me of Talking Heads, with your finger stuck in an electric socket. Seventies college sure was a fun time when it came to music.....

[@campex]

[@MelloGee33]

This band is legendary.

[@mavjimbo]

And then some

[@danerichter2289]

LOOOVE DEVO....

[@walterbalazic7909]

These guys are great. Way ahead of their time..

[@virterisvirteris856]

Just wish that the green screen was ahead of their time

[@Frank289100]

THEY WERE GENIUSES. GOD HAS SUCH A TREMENDOUS SENSE OF HUMOR. LOTS OF ROCK AND ESPECIALLY NEW WAVE MUSIC IS INSPIRED BY GOD WITH SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES AND PROPHECY AIMED RIGHT AT THE DEVIL AND ALL WHO FOLLOW. Laugh if you want to Or say you don't care If you cannot see it You think it's not there It doesn't work that way Acts 2:17-21 New International Version (NIV) 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’[a]

[@kellerwyant1704]

Their time hasn't come yet

[@handbananaistherapist642]

That cube has been chasing me for over 40 years now! God, I am tired.

[@sandrabraccio5330]

😆😆😆😆

[@jacks6423]

That cube and the death-ball from 'Phantasm'

[@Burhanontheranch]

Let it inside

[@dowjones5981]

This is fucken badass!!! No generation comes close to the 80s!!! LONG LIVE THE 80SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JoshuaCraigStrain]

They nailed it and called it 35 years ago . HAW HAW HAW HAW !!

[@wencymurillo5741]

One of my favorite songs of the 80's

[@cornerofthemoon]

Even though the surviving members of DEVO are now in their 70's, they're still great on stage. My favorite album is their most recent (and probably last) "Something for Everybody".

[@pantheroofwakanda6419]

When this came out it was the greatest thing I'd ever seen or heard! I was a fan for a few albums before and feel they reached their full potential and prowess with this one. It still raises my heart rate whenever I hear it! The song's energy is incredible and it's message seems to have gone over most people's heads. Those who think this is a joke just don't get it...

[@markh4705]

Real punk. Amazing theme and genre played by expert musicians and artist-creators. The whole devolution idea struck me when I was travelling home from high school on a train. I looked around and declared all the working people f-ing zombies, and I haven't changed my attitude since.

[@scottehm86]

Get a job. The working people are tired of supporting your ass.

[@michelepistillo7980]

Comprati quasi tutti i vinili dei DEVO .. compreso questo !!!💯💯💯❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@FreddyGalarza-z8q]

DEVO THE BEST OF THE BEST MI GRUPO PREFERIDO DE OTRO PLANETA LOS ESCUCHO DESDE LOS 16 AÑOS......LO MÁXIMO NO ME CANSO DE ESCUCHAR

[@theminecrafthaag1609]

Ingeniosos, son de esas bandas de buen gusto que la gente sobrepasa por completo su genialidad

[@RajaReign78]

OMG my parents used to play this album and I never knew a video to this song actually existed 😦

[@alanburge4798]

Mad. Fun. Crazy. Classic. Awesome pop song from an awesome pop band.

[@theocold9256]

When the twirling cube comes and the spud rings are donned, it’s time for fun!

[@cornerofthemoon]

The computer graphics and video compositing look primitive now but in 1982 it was the bomb.

[@themagus5906]

That's what makes it so cool nowadays.

[@taylorantal526]

My old math teacher used to play this song every time we had a test or quiz😂

[@toxicchipmunk134]

cool guy

[@killingheros3554]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@RebeccaETripp]

Among the most prophetic compositions.

[@METATRONmusic]

The way that we were is what we'll become!

[@drewrosecrans9728]

Gen x baby 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 we rule 🤘🤘🤘 nothing comes close when it comes to the 80s or music but I do love the 90s for sure 💯

[@MaritzaValladaresrearte]

Yo tambien soy de la decada de los 80 la mejor época de mi vida entera amo esta época 🙏🙏🙏

[@brittanybigelow7299]

This music video is great for the ages. 😁

[@goodwilj]

I'm a rocker, but I can't help myself I love these guys!

[@DylanKarbo]

That is exactly how I feel. I listen to all rock, never thought I would like DEVO....

[@zacharyjaress4205]

Devo is rock n roll

[@lamestudiosinc418]

Devo is just as punk as The Dead Kennedys. They just have their own way of rebelling.

[@seamus2112ophelan]

Same here. But having never heard of them and seeing them debut on SNL back in 77-78? I was like WTF and hooked at the same time!!

[@kolloduke3341]

From one to another check out = THE VERY THINGS - THE BUSHIES SCREAM WHILE MY DADDY PRUNES . VID ON YOU TUBE .

[@StickyColaBud]

Devo !!

[@georgehickle265]

Saw them in concert in Tulsa 1990 they was awesome

[@khughes1997]

Oklahoma represent

[@sandrabraccio5330]

This was my FAVORITE song when I was bout 4 years old (1984). I recall asking my ma 2 play this over & over & over & over. I am not sure y I loved it so much, but I truly did. Memories.... ☺️ UPDATE: Crazi as 2 how I still know all the words. I was 4 when I was jamming out in our living room watching this video. I remember specifically bc we moved in2 a house when I was 5. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😊

[@LegendOfGames]

This song scared me a bit when I first heard it as a kid, but I kinda love the thought of a little kid being super into it.

[@sandrabraccio5330]

​@@LegendOfGamesAw thx! I was & am an odd 1 4 sure 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😆 😊

[@danielmarquis5258]

My New Wave roots/love of the Genre came from hearing "Whip It" as a four year old in 1980. A couple years later, Duran Duran......then Tears for Fears shortly thereafter.

[@Mandi7882]

OMG..I forgot about this song for years..and then I saw an old Clip of it on "Night Flight". I remember singing this as a kid. Messed up song. Loved it!! Ha..ha..ha..ha!!!

[@patdisaster8543]

Night Flight taught me about punk rock and Black Sabbath.....

[@FarmersAreDummies]

Night Flight rocked.

[@henrym6411]

Devo made keytars awesome! In my opinion

[@stapler942]

It's a shame they never actually played keytars live.

[@charlesflint9048]

Wow! I wish music was as original and fresh as this was now.

[@peterhoulis1184]

Awesome song , great band !

[@terryf5131]

This is gold...funny as h-e-double hockey sticks..and CATCHY!!

[@drewrosecrans9728]

Been a fan since 79 I was 12 year's old

[@guillermoantoniocorreareye3407]

I love devo

[@adeventterer]

Ha ha ha ha ! PEEK A BOO ! Amazing . Sooooooooooooo good . The whole New Wave anarchic philosophy & attitude are represented perfectly by DEVO . My colorful childhood revisited .

[@Absorbvids]

They are the best.

[@user-df3kt6ox1t]

My favorite group

[@CrassusCazius]

Man, that pirate really gets my goat.

[@michaelinazmijewski1987]

The pirate looks like Ron Jeremy.

[@p0lyb1u5]

Maybe you should look for silver linings, but, uhm... They're rotten to the core.

[@gregmottola8539]

One of the first music videos I had ever seen.

[@skajohncarter]

Mark tells a story on the dvd commentary about this song staying a suicide just by the ridiculousness of possibly being seen in the moment. It's heartbreakingly redemptive; and portrays the point (or nub) of DEVO beautifully. I haven't seen it the same way since hearing that tidbit 20 yrs ago

[@judsonleach5248]

SPUD BOY! - From Columbus OHIO!, here!! - "HELLO" !!! 🙂 - I STILL OWN by Original 1982 VINYL - PRESSING! - FACT 🙂

[@jasonkirkk]

Good stuff

[@halenbud]

Laugh if you want to or say you don't care If you cannot see it you think it's not there It doesn't work that way

[@RazielitoBeagle]

Clásico!

[@PhillipSiddiq]

I remember this jam...The Pirate!

[@keithleeuwen877]

GREAT !

[@Jacksmusicshack]

DEVO is the tightest band!!

[@captmclain]

Supreme greatness.

[@TheFranksantana]

This is great, I had never seen the video, Thanks for the upload.

[@myfrestuff3453]

Spuds of the world untie and unite! 😂😉😎

[@terryf5131]

Love it!!!

[@JimGeigerMusic]

I LMAO when this video first came out. Yeah I'm old.

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Love this techno music..

[@leegarza3605]

I know it's been 4 years since you've posted this comment, I just hope you've realized that this is or was not techno.

[@BrianGarzonio]

Just turn a blind eye, pull the covers over your head... & it will all GO AWAY!

[@wraithIike]

First time I saw this (eons ago) I was like WTF!!! 40 years have gone by and I’m still like WTF!!! 🤣😂🤣 Fookin great video! Love the robot-like moves!!

[@bodhibaby5371]

Yes,!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@MrPac87]

Que temazo por la CTM! Muchas gracias VH1 Latino por emitir estas joyas ocultas de los '80.

[@leodelciello5265]

This mostly resembles my childhood nightmares.... which I never considered to be nightmares ... but actually nighttime cartoons ...

TÚ canción Chichero 💖💕❤️😎😘

[@philbridges3033]

One of my all-time favorite songs. Yeah, I know I'm weird 😜

[@xoxxobob61]

In a way this Song made sense of "Weirdness" when it first came out.

[@corvusmoonpottery]

NO, you're not... You're DEVO!

[@letitbeknown8126]

Ain't nothing wrong with that!!!👍😀

[@corey-bird3489]

Oh yeah? I have an entire Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum on my channel. Not to outdo your own unique brand!

Están vestidos igual que en la canción "Time out for fun" y con la misma distribución en el escenario.

[@JCStorm76]

Should have been a hit

[@ajs41]

They should have released it here in the UK. We had more unusual tastes in pop music in the 80s compared to the US.

[@dantofthegenxfamily9529]

@@ajs41 apparently you are not to familiar with Captain Beefheart, , The Sparks The Ierdos, The Residents,, we started that category of out of bounds music. I will give the UK credit for it's ability to create a more palatable and radio friendly version, as always.

[@cruddnow]

Imagine if they used this as the alert theme in MGS or something ahahah

[@jimothy60]

Praise Bob!!!!

[@howl_howl]

one oF my favs 🎹🌀🔥

[@redking36]

The lead singer of DEVO made the Rugrats theme. I sure am glad this didn't somehow end up in Rugrats; I watched it as a kid. This song is stuck in my head now.

[@redking36]

I do want this song to be incorporated into Regular Show somehow, though. I can imagine this playing in the background of the PEEPS episode.

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

He also composed the music for the original crash bandicoot trilogy for the PlayStation

Damned creepy clown! Love it!

[@billymusicwb]

Sad to hear that Devo guitarist and founding member Bob Casale died in February of 2014 at 61 of a heart disease. I don't remember this Devo song, but it makes me smile and feel only collective shame. Bob was not cool. He was Devo. Devo was better than cool. Bye Bob.
