Devo Whipped Up Some Gold In 1980
Hey Gang,
Big Q here. Well, it was on this day in 1980 that teenage boys fell in love with the whip.
It was as if the band needed to create a video strange enough to distract people from their hats. Mission accomplished.
Trying to capitalize on the "Urban Cowboy" craze, they've got four city slickers in designer jeans watching a guy, with a flower pot on his head, "whip" the clothes off of a sexy girl. Then suddenly a girl with lazy eyes points a gun at one of the cowboys, who tries to block the bullet with a can of brew. And, in the style of Wylie Coyote, it worked. Well, the cowboy leaves the side of his girlfriend and makes a bee line for the lazy gunslinger. The girlfriends response when she see here boyfriend manhandle the young girl to the ground..."RIDE EM' COWBOY". Rape it good! Check Please.
