This song was such an experience in their early 80s tours. The whole audience would put their face, cover up their eyes, and not look until they signaled - then the laughing demon heads and evil clown would appear! The who;le audience would pogo and yell to the "HA HA HA HA!" Yes Devo would play real guitars - because they were a real, hard-working, sweaty and ROCKIN' band! Thanks, Devo, for concerts that remained highlights of the past 30 years.
@1devo6587 That 1982 show was great! Yep, I was fully aware the Letterman thing was just a recording. I wish that 1982 show would get released with a bit of clean up.
@TypicalJAFO My husband has a niece who was *terrified* of this video as a little girl abou 6 when this came out. My would cover her eyes and run out of the room crying. He would tease her by laughing "HA HA HA HA!" with his head thrown back in the same way. Boy he was mean to her sometimes! She loved it, as well as getting mad about it, too.
Vintage computer graphics... clowns... I can see you... and I know what you do. Holy shit, this is completely disturbing. Still a better love story than Twilight, tho.
@1devo6587 When Devo performed "that's Good" on Letterman Bob 2 used the same keytar he is using in this video but other than that I've never seen him use it anywhere else.
most of devo's work is "disturbing"...actually just because it has to do with things that most people refuse even to think about, but are indeed real ....
Those eyebrow specs look like something I won from one of those claw machines at a Wal-mart. Love those keyboards! The clown is just creepy to the nth degree (love it!).
By the gods...I saw this in the what, late 70's?, early 80's? and to this day, I still think about it when taking toast out of a toaster! I really need to see someone cosplay Spaz Attack ! LOL!
hell yes ! they opened with this song thursday, july 1st 2010@ hollywood park. they were as incredible as the first time i saw them / stage and effects all of it Phenomenal ! were all D E V O !!!
Devo emerged into the light and people didn't know what to make of them except Rock Stars. !!!!! Mark Mothersbaugh changed the face of American Music, we're so lucky he did.
@1devo6587 IT because they're just props really. "Oh no its Devo" was made on a point a click computer much like today, the keyboards were never played like that just programmed and played back by the machine.
listen to this backwards...it's not satanic (so on't get all excited, ya followers of Skippy) ..but the chorus DOES say OOB A KEEP !! AND YOU know WHAT that MEANS. YA BABY-WE BE ON THE S A M E page
This song has been out for awhile and yes Captains Kirk and Picard, we are into the 70s, 80s, and beyond. The time on my watch says 2016 but that's probably fake. If it's for real we're making good time.

10 times better than one direction.

Hero of Hyrule 100000000000000000000000000000000 times
10000 times better than One Direction and 10000000000 times better than Cocomelon
que recuerdos
No, not weird and wonderful ... just absolute genius!! One of the most creative and influential bands ever ...
I can`t help but laugh like an idiot at the eyebrows.
DEVO FOREVER!
Is this an ad for the NSA?
Good one!
Very underrated song. PIKACHU!
@Twisted Oh, I can see what you did there!…
Found one that wasn't muted by greedyass WMG - thank you!!!!
This is the Google, Facebook, RUclips, Twitter and NSA's anthem!
Bob Casale RIP.....
I almost forgot how truly wonderful this band was (is).
@1devo6587 That 1982 show was great! Yep, I was fully aware the Letterman thing was just a recording. I wish that 1982 show would get released with a bit of clean up.
I reeeeaaaaaally love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had this album on vinyl.
Wow! What a rush that was. I must have seen this video ONCE back in the 80s on MTV. It was great to see it all over again for the first time. Thanks!
"Well gentlemen, we have entered the 80's" -Picard
That wrestler John Cena stole his signature "you can't see me" move from DEVO! It's at 31 seconds in.
I was just thinking the same thing haha
and a follow-up - i'm 45...this was 7th grade tryin to get home to check-out devo for free on mtv...man, we are aging!!!(hopefully aging well)
Where as this song been my whole life??
F'n Sick. I was about 14 then, and this is even more the shit now.....HA HA HA HA, HA HA HA HA
They are unique

I want to know how the FUCK he laughs like that.... It is amazing
@level242 They are more unique than any other band who has ever been unique.
John Lennon was the Walrus, but only Mark, Jerry, and the Bobs are Devo.
DEVO RULES GO WEIRD AND AWESOME
Odd thing is..the clown never firghtened me..it was always those silly devil faces.
Sungodv I think it's about the government watching or something.
I still wonder why the pirate kicked almost all of them to the ground?😂
Next on USA's Night Flight....
Ha-ha-ha-hah! Now I got Nana being spanked by a monkey burned on my brain.
exelent, great band and great songs
When you think about it, this video is kind of similar to "Time Out For Fun."
Who played the evil clown? Toni Basil's onetime beau Spazz Attack?
too much fun - more bands should take themselves less seriously
CASIOTONE RULES!!!!
fuckin' love devo...
Nice nice nice... Devo great!!!
Those eyebrow specs look like something I won from one of those claw machines at a Wal-mart. Love those keyboards! The clown is just creepy to the nth degree (love it!).
Thanks, ealdrett -- this has to be the cleanest copy I've seen on line so far. Crisp, clean, makes the viewing a pure pleasure!!
Love this song. The mad clown laughing was my favorite bit in the video.
hey juan vaca - nice, really superb, collection you've posted! thanks, i'm sure
By the gods...I saw this in the what, late 70's?, early 80's? and to this day, I still think about it when taking toast out of a toaster! I really need to see someone cosplay Spaz Attack ! LOL!
ha ha ha ha haaaaaa. awesome.
fantastici..........devo.........a a a aaa
I always love that synth that kicks in near the end of the song!
I can see you and i know what you do.
hell yes ! they opened with this song thursday, july 1st 2010@ hollywood park. they were as incredible as the first time i saw them / stage and effects all of it Phenomenal ! were all D E V O !!!
@51AD3 that's Spazz Attack
Toaster incident. Yeah!
I love the freaky clown
" ha ha ha ha!"
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Devo emerged into the light and people didn't know what to make of them except Rock Stars. !!!!! Mark Mothersbaugh changed the face of American Music, we're so lucky he did.
The ORIGINAL! Thanks!
@1devo6587 IT because they're just props really. "Oh no its Devo" was made on a point a click computer much like today, the keyboards were never played like that just programmed and played back by the machine.
listen to this backwards...it's not satanic (so on't get all excited, ya followers of Skippy)
..but the chorus DOES say OOB A KEEP !! AND YOU know WHAT that MEANS. YA BABY-WE BE ON THE S A M E page
Always had a great idea for unique music from the 80's
……. the corner stone to the age of internet piracy … ever the prescient group, that Devo … brilliant, those Spud Boys, just brilliant ~ (•8-o
I suggest you watch the Letterman performance if you want to see them performing with keytars...it's only one of the most watched on here.
OH NO IT'S DEVO
"peek-a-boo" "i can see you" and I know what you poo" lol is that guy wearing lipstick? he's creepy O_o still very very catchy
Can anyone confirm if the punk clown is 'Spaz Attack' in this video? Thanks in advance...
It is Spaz Attack. There are pictures of him getting ready for the video posted a few places.
Thanks so much for the confirmation! Any idea what he's up to these days? I am just really curious...
creatornat
The information I've seen on him is years out of date, but apparently he's been a clothing designer with a shop...
Thanks mate!
My daughter (who's now 30) knew all the words to this song when she was three years old! Now my GRANDKIDS like this video!
They played two nights ago in Clifton Park, NY...no keytars. But an awesome show! So glad to see these guys finally come back to save us.
@1devo6587 Check the onstage performance of "That's Good" on Letterman. I think they have them there.
put em in the mofo rock n roll hof. ...already!
Yes!!! along with the Cars!!! :3
grande devo!!!!!
That laugh reminds me of televangelist Kenneth Copeland.
That punk rock clown looks like the Joker from the Batman comics.
Never understood how this great innovative band are not in the rock and roll hall of fame.
@KyoTheFoxDemon
It would be some weird synth voice program I'm guessing lol.
Steinberger headless bass. Very new wave and tech progressive, or something.
I wonder how many months of computer time it took to render those backgrounds.
We used to like to watch the video but it creeped us out when we was kids!!!
i that guy wearing lipstick? he's creepy O_o still very very catchy
These guys....and Kraftwerk:-)
@1devo6587 Really should anyone be playing a keytar onstage?
@lithead that is hilarious. HA HA HA HA.......peek-a--boo!
Where did Devo find that picture of the devils?
scary 80's
Holy Shit! I forgotten about this video. It is disturbing yet awesome lol. The two laughing devils always scared me!
Please also here in Ecuador the video we whip it thanks
awesome way to freak out my 14 year old daughter!!!
i that guy wearing lipstick? he's creepy O_o
Well good thing is...we can still hear it...
This reminds me of The Wiggles
More like if The Wiggles guest starred on Pee-Wee's Playhouse :p
@1devo6587 they did it again in 'Fresh'!
who is the laughing horn demon.
I want some of whatever they were on.
This video is really fucked up...
TERRIBLE WENA LA CANCION 666
This song has been out for awhile and yes
Captains Kirk and Picard, we are into the 70s, 80s,
and beyond. The time on my watch says 2016 but
that's probably fake. If it's for real we're making good time.
@tjcoffey now you get it!
@level242 MAYBE THE MOST
.Inconfundível e referencial.
Still scared of clowns?
0:55 The joker????
