Slaughterhouse Rock DVD brought me here. I remembered watching it with my mother in the eighties,and I loved DEVO then and still do.Toni Basil does a great job too.

From one spud to another, good to hear Basil with DEVO once again. "Be Stiff"!!!

[@michaellorenzen8200]

I've never known of this song which is GREAT ! Toni on lead and Mark on backup is a nice mix I can't say for today but I always thought back in the '80s that Toni would make an excellent SPUD ! this proves it

[@LaOxidada]

this demo kicks an unfathomable amount of ass I have no idea why it was scrapped

[@jimvarney511]

because it's an embarassing, cheesy relic from the mid 80's

[@LaOxidada]

fair enough

@@jimvarney511 And? That doesn't explain why a demo recorded in 1988 wasn't released in the 80's.

@@jimvarney511 This isnt cheesy but stuff like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Culture Club, Rick Astley, Journey and lots more certainly were. As were the top 40 versions of "new wave" like Safety Dance, & Take on Me. And speaking of ultra cheese, how bout such cornball crap of today like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber , MIley Cyrus, rap , hip hop and all the endless desecrations of "dance music" of today.?

Toni Basil AND Devo?!

[@Musicalmane]

Yup, jerry and Toni dated for a while, Toni did a bunch of Devo covers ("Be Stiff", "Space Girls", which is a re-titled "Space Girl Blues", and "You Gotta Problem", which is a re-titled "Pity You") and the instrumentals are all done by most of Devo (Jerry, Mark, Bob1 and Bob2)

[@Musicalmane]

Also, Spazz Attack (the guy who was doing flips in the satisfaction music video) is in all of her music videos, and he even toured with David bowie as a lead dancer during the Glass Spider Tour
