:lmao: started to crack up at that statement.

please dont tell me this was your man jam back in the day.




was it?

 

Devo was and still is a great band mark Mothersbrough still does soundtracks. They are kind of like Talking Heads, you never really stop liking them and they were never really cool but not quite uncool either.

 

well damn, learn something new everyday.

 

They were also one of the first US bands ever to get a video onto MTV because until then it was European bands or concert footage. They were the first to actually have a concept video and hail from the US.

 

Yes. Many, Many re-makes after too.

 

Yeah I always liked that song.

 

Me too, SR-71's version I liked. Heres another for ya :



Yeah, mama and papa told me
I was crazy to stay
I was gay in New York
Which is a fag in L.A.
So I saved my money
And I took a plane
Wherever I go they treat me the same

When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down

I'm going down fifty-third street
And they're spitting in my face
I'm learning the ropes
Yeah I'm learning a trade
The east river truckers
Is churning with trash
I've got so much money
That I'm spending so fast

When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the shit hits the fan
I'll be sitting on the can
When the whip comes down

Yeah, some called me garbage
While I was sleeping on the street
I never roll
And I never cheat
I'm filling a need
I'm plugging a hole
My mama's so glad
I ain't on the dole

When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
(Yeah, go ahead check it out)

Yeah, baby, when the whip comes down
When the whip comes down
(I'll be running this town, I'll tell you)
When the shit hits the fan
I'll be sittin on the can

 

Stones if I am not mistaken, I seem to remember it but can't put music to it .

Oddball side question...do you know who did the song "Bad Mamba Jamba"? I know it was early 80s but can't figure out the artist and it's driving me nuts.

 

Cool. :rockon:

 

Yep, you are correct. I believe Carl Carlton is who you are looking for.
