"Attention shoppers - we have a little lost boy. His name is Mark and he has glasses and is wearing a yellow jumpsuit. Would his mother please come to claim him at the Record Department?"
The ultimate irony, of course, is that traditional Muzak is now defunct and has been replaced by actual rock songs, which means you can and do hear the original version of "Whip It" played in supermarkets.
And did you know Red Skelton wrote many of the original era Muzak tunes!? And for weird - a few weeks back I heard Oingo Boingo and Gary Numan in a Luby's Cafeteria (notorious oldies' hangout) at lunch time. Shocking!
Believe it or not, I predicted something like this near the end of the 1970s when I wrote an article for my college newspaper, saying that the music of the 70s will become the muzak of the 80s. Well, maybe I was a decade or two off...
I've heard the Ramones while shopping, and it was ""I Wanna Be Sedated". One wonders what they're capturing on the cameras when that one comes on. Personally, I had visions of "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly on the part of someone in the back.
I'll never forget the stuff I heard at grocery stores toward the end of traditional Muzak, in the mid 90s. I guess Muzak was fighting to stay relevant? I'd like to find those Bizarro World versions of Cornflake Girl and Glass Onion again someday. 😂😂
Finally, an album that contains my favorite celebrities -- however in a format that is easier on my tired ears. Now I can listen to DEVO in joy, folly, relaxation, and sorrow so that I may excel further in all components of life.
I can see why Mark Mothersbaugh cites this as his favorite Devo album. Perhaps more than any other it shows off their musical prowess and knowledge in many different styles.
I can see why, considering how he would make a career out of doing soundtracks, with muzak being basically the background music to shopping and elevator rides for a long period of time.

I literally have tears of joy and laughter right now. This is the kookiest most fun music I've heard in years! "Due to technical difficulties in the human race we need to take a short break"....
It was probably the Freedom of Choice tour, between the opening band and the spuds, when I realized the music being played was EZ listening versions of Devo songs. If I recall, they were available on cassette mail order with the form on the inner sleeve of one of the albums. Years later Ryko released the CD.
from what i remember there was no opening bands- this was the "opening" entertainment. I think that after their very early tours they never had opening acts. I've seen them close to 20 times & in the prime of Devo there was never an opening act.
I wish I had seen them as Dove. The videos I've seen of "Dove-The Band Of Love" are hilarious. Also, in response to adriane61 's comment: I saw a band called The Brains open for Devo during their Freedom of Choice tour. This was in Atlanta, GA. I have no idea about any other shows that had a "real" opening act.... sorry.
The show I was talking about was at the Fox. I do not remember the Brains opening for them. I saw the 1978 Devo show at the Agora but miss the 1979 one because I was out of town. Was that it? They moved across the street after "Whip It", and I saw the Freedom of Choice, NuTra, and Oh No! shows at the Fox. I don't remember an opening band, but it was over thirty-five years ago, so what do I know? The Brains were a local band. I was at their record release show at the Agora. "Money Changes Everything" is a great song. I was more of a Q's fan, though.
I love this album. I wander does it take knowing the Devo reportoire to appreciate the songs? I dig the textures and layers of hypnotic sounds that make this such a fun ride. There is sadness, joy, confusion, laughter, pain, irony, love, inspiration, playfulness and perfectly executed layers of Devoness spread out on this most unique album. Try finding some of the originals and enjoy both the understated embellishments on this disc or the full flavor of the originals in their glory.Devo still rules.
I got the EZ disc in the late 80s, having been a big Devo fan for many years (caught em live in '83). Had no idea what it would be like, but did remember the mail in offer from their record sleeves, never sent for it though. I can still remember putting it on being like "wtf?? this. is weird, even for Devo" Then wondering how the next track would be gloriously twisted around...then the next...and the next... All that said, this LP is a brilliant effort.
Heard this as preshow warmup at a Devo concert, as well as all their 'official' videos at the time. (Think 'Love Without Anger,' 'Whip It,' etc.) Concert was awesome! Purchased this CD a long time ago, and it's one of my favs when road-trippin.'
I bought this CD at a store when it came out and for a couple years I was convinced that it was a cheap knockoff ez listening band that made it. Mission accomplished lol.
Thanks so much for posting this. I remember seeing it at a record store in the '80s, and almost bought it. Always wondered about it. Listening right now. Thanks again!
great cd. thanks for posting. I really learnt something ne wafter listening to this group since early 1980. The whip it version on this cd is the one that they use on the DVDs in opening and closing credits. I didn't realise that its whip it in a different version. Just worked it out after 39 years! Great CD
I've listened to this album for many years (decades) now, but all the sudden I'm realizing that I could easily hear this also as an album by the band WEEN ( just as is or with vocals & some guitar bits & some additional noise oddities thrown in )
Yeah, Ween have said themselves that they were inspired by Devo. There's definitely something similar going on with the vibes, a kind of total embrace of kitsch that elevates it to a strange sort of high art. Some of Devo's early sludgy stuff from the "hardcore" era also sounds a lot like Ween at their weirdest and scariest, like on "The Pod."
This put a smile on my face, as those are two of my favorite bands. They're #1 and #2 in my top 5. That being said, I completely agree. There is a high level of personal input and lack of conformist attitude present in both bands works.
Devo must've had a lot of time on their hands (I guess I did too since I listened to the whole thing!). At 1st I was surprised there weren't any vocals, then I realized it's elevator music versions of songs the real muzak makers would never touch with a 10ft. pole. Not many artists would have the self-effacing sense of humor to give their own songs the techno-pop equivalent of the Weird Al polka treatment. And I'm sure Ennio Morricone always secretly wanted to take a crack at "PeekABoo"...
I remember when cassettes were hi-tech. This was advertized as an EZ-Listening cassette inside the album sleeve of Freedom of Choice. I sent away for it and never got it. I was very annoyed at Devo.I eventually forgave them and bought the CD when I saw it for sale in a record shop.
A little off the subject of this collection, But I wonder if any other Devo fans ever thought Weird Al's out-Devoing Devo on "Dare to be Stupid" had any effect on Devo's rather quick decline? I don't, really, but the thought has lingered in my mind all these years. Just seemed like Devo was kind of lost, and WA's DTBS came at just the time they were re-examining their direction (reinvention time, again). Just a thought... Thanks for the upload!!! Not my cup-o-tea, but I love the chance to hear it, again.
"...the parody more just marked the height of the band's career." And some would say the ultimate compliment (I do). Interesting. Sure loved 'em through these many years!!!
DTBS is interesting because it's one of the few times (or the only time) that Weird Al covered the style of an artist, rather than covering a single song and making up silly new lyrics. He definitely captured the Devo aesthetic and sound, and it's a nice tribute. I remember reading an interview with Gerry and Mark once where they said when they heard it they felt like he'd outdone them at their own game, and they took it as a big compliment.
A great compliment, for sure! But it must also be a little unnerving to see a comedian out-perform your rather unique style! And I believe there are many factors in their decline, including the times, but I'll always suspect a tiny backhand to the band's aesthetic from DTBS (because it wasn't just a "better" song, but also the lyrics, performance, and video as well). I love it all, and thought Smooth Noodle Maps was excellent!
Smooth Noodle Maps is great, I agree. Total Devo was not so good, but over the years I've grown to appreciate parts of it. I think "Some Things Never Change" is a very heartfelt song, and "Blow Up" is hilarious. Disco Dancer and Baby Doll are guys in their 40s trying to find a new sound and not knowing quite what to do. The lyrics of Disco Dancer even suggest this, that the band felt a little out of place, like the times had passed them by. I think even at their worst Devo was smart and interesting, and even on Total Devo there's hardly a song that I dislike. It just isn't as strong as their other efforts.
Devo's version of "Morning Dew" on SNM is outstanding, and another example of the perfect (IMO) way to do a remake! Much like their remake of "Satisfaction" - don't just "rerecord the original song with a slightly more aggressive drum part", really make the song yours, with a whole new energy and depth!
I remember reading a contemporary review of this album complaining that the music was too much like actual Muzak and that “was not cool”. I immediately inferred the reviewer didn’t get it and I set out to hear this record as soon as I could.
fell upon this absolutely great ...have been out in glasgow pubs for a bit watching rugby place spinning but this is whats the word.... fucken great man....brjng it on
In my top 5 best bands. Barbara o Riley. Stand Up. Tons of Time. Another Green World. Duty Now For the Future. Roxy Music 1st. Favorite Albums in no particular order.
+ＯＮ－ＤＯ－ＲＥ I would keep it, probably has some worth. Instead buy The official re-release of the EZ-Listening Disc on vinyl. Which Devo vinyl did you buy by the way?
Big fan! I first saw them in '79 at the SDSU outdoor amphitheater. There are untold legions of jam bands doing extended versions of jazz, rock, blues and even country, with each member taking an extended solo and each song lasting 20 minutes. What's the opposite of that? DEVO! They play with such precision. Look, any jackhead can noodle around on their instrument and make it eventually sound kinda interesting. What's on the other side of that? Playing the same songs *precisely* the same way every time, on purpose, and rocking your lame ass off!
a beautiful world is pretty rad. it reminds me of those commercials that use to have the pinball thing that went and hit something and a million diff things moved in sync to the beat lol
you know what, that is freaking me out too. the author claims this is the EZ listening CD, but every copy of that disc I have ever seen only has 19 tracks. how did this person get 20 tracks on there?
Why do I picture John Candy saying "It's a Casio. Ohhhh" with a big grin on his face before every song plays? And I'm the bad guy saying "I'm going to have to say NO."
"Attention shoppers - we have a little lost boy. His name is Mark and he has glasses and is wearing a yellow jumpsuit. Would his mother please come to claim him at the Record Department?"
😃
xD
"No I will not!"...shouted the Mother.
@Nicholas Blakeney it's his actual last name
It's the perfect calming music, and yet not boring. ASMR? Doesn't even come close.
Heard this the other day while shopping for cement blocks at Home Devo
I was sorting my drill bits and I noticed I'm lacking quite a few. Please contact.

There's a video somewhere on youtube with Mark giving a tour of Mutato Muzica where he say's this is his fav.
I can see why, considering how he would make a career out of doing soundtracks, with muzak being basically the background music to shopping and elevator rides for a long period of time.
could prolly blame this album for crippling my musical sensibilities early

yes!
I still have my original :) words cannot express
Futurismo has issued a vinyl version, sort of
My favorite Devo album too. The cover says it all: "My god, it's full of stars!" :P Maybe not literally but you get the idea.
I guess I'm lucky I still have my original CD... Still, it's nice to have it here, too... I just found it while unpacking lately after a move...
Something. I'd fall asleep to not in an boring way
Sleeping is not boring.

fantastic concept they always took ideals that were in the communal trough and huffed and zuffed and chuffed and created new looks

The first version of Shout is not on the RYKO CD issue and only on the second cassette. AHHHHHH!
Have you looked for a download of it? If you put the CD on iTunes (or something similar) you could probably add it to the already existing album.
you know what, that is freaking me out too. the author claims this is the EZ listening CD, but every copy of that disc I have ever seen only has 19 tracks. how did this person get 20 tracks on there?
Like this version of "Shout" way better than the official version
Awesome! Reminds me of studying for University exams!
Time to fall asleep to Mongoloid :)
haven't heard the original "lounge" version of Shout for a long time
Girl U Want sounds like a 16 or 32 bit console game soundtrack lol
26:20 LOVE this one!!!
Sounds like video game music from the 90s.
Reminds me of Tunes of Two Cities the Residents finished one year after the first EZ listening cassette was completed
How are Freedom of Choice and Through Bein' Cool not on here?
They had no choice, they wanted to stay cool for this CD. ;-)
HAHAHA! PeeKaBoo is Hilarious!!! XD
FANTASTIC ALBUM!!!
Peek a Boo should be my theme song
WOW! HIGHLY HIPNOTIC X_X
For "Satisfaction" they should have just put the Stones' version on. HA!
Gates of steel rocks!
Inspired 🎵🎶🤪
Gates of steel also sounds like something from Pee Wee's Playhouse, although mark composed the music for the show
Awesome!!
Why do I picture John Candy saying "It's a Casio. Ohhhh" with a big grin on his face before every song plays? And I'm the bad guy saying "I'm going to have to say NO."
Wow, some of this reminds me a lot of the Crash Bandicoot PS1 game soundtracks. Naughty Dog must have been mutated by this stuff at some point.
Devo's lead singer composed the soundtracks for the Crash Bandicoot games.
S.I.B. FTW
I thought it was all easy listening after Duty Now.
