- How this came to be, I don't know. Mark and Jerry from DEVO pantomime performing this song with Jermaine Jackson on some Halloween TV special in 1982. Watch for the guitar solo!
This was ahead of its time; now you have Daft Punk performing with R&B singers and it tops the charts.
To be fair, there was also Afrika Bambata, who collaborated with Kraftwerk and Gary Numan.
old school is better
The Music and The Majic of Mr Jermaine Jackson joining forces with DEVO !
I agree, I so wish all these people would stop comparing and trying to create division. It's not right. Jermaine NEVER tried to be MJ, he was and is an artist in his own right! They are different and Jermaine never tried to copy Michael, his music was always unique and his sound was Jermaine's sound. Michael's style and sound was his own. Jermaine will never replace Michael, you don't have to accept him. But he has his own fan base.
This track is just as fresh as the day it was baked. Devo should be producing hip-hop and R&B now. The result should at least be as good as T-Pain. Love it!
Jermaine hit #18 pop in Billboard, 9-25-82. God bless you, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week!
OK..I had no idea this was Jermaine and Devo...I used to really like this song back in the day...YOutube is sooooooooo what MTV wanted to be!! Thanks YOutube
That fusion of New Wave and R&B/Funk in the early 80's was under-appreciated. But I love it!
@theralisulproduct DEVO is beyond New Wave by light years !
i never heard this before... i really like it!!!
best performance ever!!!!
Every time I hear this I think of being in the crowd at Auburn University watching Bo Jackson and company getting lose before a game with Nebraska in 1982. This song was being blasted into the student section. Good times even though Auburn lost but freshman Bo showed what the future would be like.
Holy cow! I haven't heard this song in years. Devo made some cool beats back in the day. Jermaine should have used them more often.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017 !, GREAT FANS OF JERMAINE JACKSON AND DEVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I buy a new computer, I SWEAR i'll make a house remix of that song!! It would be so sad if no one hear this fancy tempo in our 21st century! So with a lot of fancy basses, kicks, and synth... wow, it would be a HIT !!!
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO I HOPE DEVO OR JEMAINE JACKSON WIIL PUT THIS OR THE OFFICAL VIDEO ON DVD, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I OWNED THIS LP WHEN IT CAME OUT BACK IN 1982 ? QUESTION IS THE LATE WHITNEY HOUSTON ON THE COVER ? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT HIT NEXT TO PAUL MCCARTNY AND MICHAEL JACKSON,AND STEVIE WONDER AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JERMAINE AND DEVO SHOULD TOUR TOGETHER . FUNKADELIC!!!!!
You go Jermaine!!!
crazy guitar solo with that George Jetson electric guitar
This used to spin alot on "black radio" back in the day. Fun song.
This was my jam!!!!!!
Sweet. This is the height of new wave music. Awesome. Thanks for loading this up.
Dam dis was my JAM didn't know Devo was in the mix NICE!
Oh man those days were great
this is amazing! had no idea devo ever did this!
So (thinking out loud), since this came out in 1982.........if there was an official music video released for this song, I wonder if Jermaine Jackson would have been the first black artist on MTV that was played? Why wasn't there an official video made, now that I think about it.
Check out that beat. It kicks it off instantly. Thunk-dah-dah-thunk, sswwweeeep, Thunk-dah-dah-thunk, swweeeep.....
This was the jam back when I was a kid in 82. I ould boggie to it at the 6th grade dance.
It is ironic. Fred lived up the street from my folks. His sons are good friends with my brother. They are having a memorial for Fred tomorrow in the Valley.
DEVO turned up on the R&B charts back in the day with Whip It so this wasn't so odd. OK, it's odd, but not THAT odd.
A lot of new wave and postpunk ended up on Black radio and charts back then. They aren't THAT dissimilar. Hell, techno and house was embraced by Black people first before we started being told what to like!
The Jacksons were trying to open up to the hipper side and Devo was as we know very cool... There is a great story about the recording session of this song...but you'd have to pay me :)
Is that the Omnichord from "Patterns" that Mark is slapping? I didn't realize that was one of its functions...
R.I.P. Bob Casale of DEVO. Here's a video. Jermaine Jackson with DEVO - Let Me Tickle You're fancy. I love this song and I still turn it up! I jammed to it on the radio, but only recently, found out that DEVO played and did background vocals, on the song. It gave me goosebumps and made me love both Artists, even more. I'm lucky I saw Jermaine sing it, at The Kool Jazz Festival, here at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium, in 1985.
"Sweet Cheddar Cheesus ..." I love that comment LOL!!! I gotta use that next time I see something off the hook!!! I'm rollin' over here, almost in tears with that one LOL!!!
I saw this when it first aired on TV! It was at the wagon train theatre at Knott's Berry Farm. And a young Fred Travalena hoting! Here's proof positive that few people knew what to make of Devo back then (other good examples are their appreances on Solid Gold).
14 years old.
Hey everyone LOOK!!! It's DEVO!!!! Oh... and Jermaine Jackson..... :)
For some of us it was the other way around! Hahaha!
Agreed I'm more excited to see Jermaine lol
Michael Potter :: kno JERMAINE and devo that's for most of us..
i remember watching this!!!
This is Awsome Awesome
This was the first record I ever bought... I blared it on my boombox over and over...lol
Jermaine Jackson and Devo?! I'm surprised the world didn't explode right after the performance. The dance is the 80's shuffle. It's basically the dance you did when you couldn't dance that good.
Peace to his memory as well.
With his special friends Spot and Pod Devo...
This track got a lot of airplay on the old AM 610 KFRC in the Bay!
Back When Music Was Cool
Oh yeah? Well, let me tell you something, smart guy................actually, all of your points are valid. And why am I here defending the Jacksons??? I'm out -
Super Super attractive 🥰💖 get it now🎼🤗♥️
THIS , IS HOT , IT SHOULD ,AS BIG , BROTHER MICHAEL S SONGS , IF IT WOULD GOTTEN MORE AIRPLAY, WAT TO GO OLD SCHOOL !
CLASSIC!!..
A quirky combination of performers.
I remember radio announcers saying "Let me tickle your fancy, let me excite your hole" when this song was broadcast back in 1982.
You can't compare Jermaine with Michael. I really like the combination of them. It would be great the Jackson 5 + Devo.
this is awesome
Mark and Jerry are probably playing. The "guitar solo" was not live. Check out other live Devo videos from that timeframe. There's one of Working in a Coal Mine in a small club in Chicago (I was there), that should prove the point.
@HaliB75 They make it seem like Janet is the only one who loved michael....people these days are crazy!!! the whole family loved each other and not only michael and janet the only one talented. I love jermaine's voice not so much of MJ's because of his style of music. People need to get a life.....I love michael once again but he's not the only talented person in the world
That Flying V guitar Jermaine is playing is worth about $18K now. By the way Michael's first Idol was Jermaine. They all are very talented. Peace.
What a different type of tracke for Motown to put out in the very early 80's. It wasn't a big hit in NYC, but I do remember hearing it in other states while riding down I95.
At 3:26-3:28 that's something Michael did a lot.
Wow didn't expect that,this is cool though:)
@Diamonds7771 Why compare, they may be brothers but two different types of artists with different sounds. Jermaine actually is quiet talented in his own right. One should not down play, you may not find his sounds as catchy as Michaels' but their voices are so very very different. I love them all. Each of them are talented in their own right.
this song sounds weird initially, as most 80s music does, but it does grow on you after awhile. Not bad! Interesting beat, and of course, Jermaine looks damn sexy even with all that posturing
hey great DEVO fans out there in couputer tv land , there is a new DEVO video, by JERRY CASALE,of DEVO , and it's called , IT"S all DEVO with music from Italy , it came out this JUNE 2016 , go check it out !
Im pretty sure they produced and played (perhaps all the music besides Jermaines parts and vocals) on these songs and maybe even the entire album. They also produced a Debbie Harry album right around the same time called Koo-Koo .
BOB !, Mothersbaugh , was on with DEBBIE, live on SNL , he had on a pink suite and a mask .
nice got more
did someone sell him on v shaped guitars by saying wouldnt it be cool if you could hold a guitar like that? LOL
It took me years to realize that the reason hes even holding it like that is because there isnt a guitar strap on the guitar lmfao
His mouth at 0:50 O.o
Sorry guys I didnt mean to be disrepectful. All the Jacksons are talented
Guitar solo? Where?
Spud and Bud DEVO. Nyes!
Love Devo but this seems odd.....apparently JJ was a fan.....respect.
@algabal I love her music lol
@lilbush98 I know thats right, I love the whole jackson family but alot of fans make it seem like Michael is the only one to come out with good songs.....um hello not!
okay, so with a "Flying-V" guitar, you don't really need a strap huh? LMFAO!! do tha damn thang, Jermaine!!
Maybe u should try learning a bit about Disco, then...Disco usually had big orchestras accompanying (try looking for BeeGees concerts in the late 70s)
not that broke i think.. but he should of lasted way longe in music... he disaapeared in the mid 90's... as he type of music kinda died then in the mid 90's
If Jermaine would have stopped making babies and focused on his career (he IS talented) he would have continued to have a sucessful career. But, he instead got lazy and started bugging Mike about $ and touring.
Ladysugarshaft :: well we know JERMAINE ain't scared of women..Jermaine is a MAN what he not suppose to have a life.
@@johnjackson3513 Loads of successful male artists aren't afraid of women, what has that got to do with anything?
Ladies and gentlemen.... DEVO IN PERSON.... with one of the Jackson brothers.... Jermaine I think.... anyway DID I MENTION THIS IS DEVO?!?!?!?!?!
yea where ?he s posein fake
I miss Booji Boy
its called sneaky dance lol
You can unroll your eyes, sweetie, no one's starting a race riot here...have you heard of The Jackson 5? They didn't exactly fall under the category of "generic, boring, and not that talented". Devo falls more under the category of "80's one hit wonder"
Yes, a one-hit wonder, but only for those who got/get all their music from the radio. We've got youtube now, so dig a little deeper if you dare. I think you'll like what you find.
@@JohnSmith-mx8wp Daannnnggg---a comment from 15 years ago...and I referred to Devo as a one-hit wonder, lol. Shows what I know/knew. Yes, Mr John, I am down the RUclips music rabbit hole, never to return, a better music fan for it 😆
there is plenty, of soul ,and eletronic funky cools sounds, and plenty of action, when , DEVO joins forces with JERMAINE JACJSON !
Probably one of the best Jermaine Jackson and DEVO songs out there. It's hardly on the radio anymore even on the old school R&B stations on Sirius.
Devo didn't produce Debbie Harry's "Kookoo", but they did perform on it. "Kookoo" was produced by Nile & Bernard from Chic in 1981. It's a great LP! I was surprised to learn about this Jermaine/Devo track!
D E V O where on KooKoo?! 🤯
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MARK MOTHERSBAUGH , !!!! AND REST IN PEACE ALAN MYERS DRUMMER OF DEVO !!1
Interesting.......
I remember that this was recorded in the covered wagon theater at Knott's Berry Farm.
It was a Halloween special, and (all of the members of) Devo also performed Peek-a-Boo, and possibly That's Good.
I've got the vinyl EP of this song: Devo actually performed on the record.
I half-remember that Devo also performed a second song with Jermaine. I don't think they were miming their own music, and were REALLY goofing around in the background.
Wow I forgot about this song. This was my JAM at the time!
Here's how I think it went down: this silly Halloween special was being taped live and Jermaine and DEVO were hanging out in the dressing room talking about how lame it was that they had to lip-sync their appearances. Jermaine said "at least you guys look like a band, I'm gonna be alone up there looking like a goofball." Mark and Gerald looked at each other and said "We can be your back-up band!" I'll bet they thought it was funny as hell.
This song is cool because Jermaine is singing lead!
Hey, the guy in the beginning is Fred Travalena. He was a great impersonator. He died a few days after MJ.
IMO, two of my favorite musical groups (J5 and Devo) coming together in an imaginary collaboration I was never aware of. Mark elevated spazhood to celebrity, illustrating that everybody is (in theory) a star!
I still love this song. Devo and Jermaine Jackson together is gold.
Yeah I forgot this too. Go head Jermaine !
@Ladysugarshaft yeah jermaine is really talented he's gorgeous...but all those kids lol lawd jayzus
I'm surprised you don't like it, even if you don't like the song. Could anything be more subversive than this? I think it's brilliant.
I LOVE this song. I have it on 45 actually. There is a studio video out there somewhere that I had seen in the early days of MTV. Knowing what we know now, don't we wish we'd idolized Jermaine instead? I do.
I had Jermaine Jackson's album that had that song on it. Bought it in 1982. Yes, studio version of course.
Knowing what we know now? What's that supposed to mean?
@@MorrisB1971 oh, please. Don't pretend you don't know what Michael did.
I'm a truly devoted DE-VO fan but this is just terrible.
DEVO was on tour 1982 to 1983 , if DEVO would have more time , DEVO would have been on along with JERMAINE JACKSON , on SOUL TRAIN ! doing this classic song !
JERMAINE JACKSON AND DEVO FOR LIFE !!!! AND NEW MUSIC FROM BOTH OF THEM !!!!!!!
Even in the most unexpected places, DEVO are awesome...Jermaine too, of course!
I remember this when it was new on TV thank for uploading
If my mother only knew what this meant, she wouldn't have let me listen to it so much.
Love this song.
omg! this takes me waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. lol it's a good house cleanin' tune.....lmao
