Time out for spuds

I love Devo. I love their concept that mankind has already peaked and is now devolving. I love their music. So a couple of videos are in order as a musical interlude between posts.

First up, "That's Good." MTV, the same channel that has no qualms about showing videos replete with women with generous gluteals and wearing gold lamé thongs while "shakin' dat ass," didn't want to show this video. My, how times have changed.



Next, "Beautiful World." It's funny that Target used this song in one of their commercials when the song does not sing the praises of a beautiful world like Louis Armstrong's song with the same title. Interesting side note. The members of Devo will allow their songs to be used in commercials, but will not allow the songs to be rerecorded by someone else for those ads. Rather, either the original song is used or the band rerecords the song tailored specifically for the commercial.
