I had just turned 18. I heard this song and that was it! Saw them on SNL and in concert twice. This album tour and Freedom of Choice tour. I have all their early albums.

Give it a listen. It’s so cool.

Early DEVO is so great.

Also, there's an excellent straight-ass oldschool country cover of Mongoloid by a mysterious group called Handsome Hank & His Lonesome Boys, complete with fiddle solo.
