Deservant of a Nostalgia 9 from anyone who was a teen in the 80s!!!!  Not legendary, won't go down in history, but if you listened to it back then you're smiling now....

Since I've heard this song twice in three days on vastly different places, I have just have to comment:
I don't think any song has ever said as true a statement about human nature...
"freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom from choice
is what you want"

Even as a 13-year old I thought this song was poignant. Although, admittedly I probably didn't know what the word poignant meant back then.

Agreed.  Crap, it happened again today.  Used to be CCR-neutral back in the day but now...gyaahh.

I just saw a thing about Devo and Neil Young jamming - it was probably one of the craziest things ... got to love the riff on this with the guitar, the keyboards and the drums oohhhh the drums

who doesnt air band to this?

This would be perfect for Guitar Hero or Rock Band

One of the great geek groups. From their best album. IMHO.

I'll spare the gory details, but this was the perfect song at the pefect moment just now... Thanks for being a psychic Bill!

Followed by Fortunate Son... Bill, get out of my head, this is seriously creepy.

I can't quite bring myself to call this great music or even good music but the memories are fond and I always liked their attitude.

Perfect followup to the Talking Heads's "Burning Down the House"! For a moment I thought Bill had arranged a two-some of Talking Heads songs from the same album! Seemless transition... Good work Bill!

Damn, when I was a kid, and would wear crazy things on my head my dad called the devo hats. It took me close to 15 years to really understand what he was talking about.

One of the first songs I ever played in a rock band.... I must have been 12-13 playing rythm guitar and it absolutely rocked... I will never forget seeing the faces of the kids watching us rock out...

I had such a good time... too bad I sucked at guitar and got interested in girls and parties rather than practice.

Good times... Good Times
