In the 80s I once tried to undress a girl like they did in the video, did not go well.

I like that song, but I don’t know about 14 hours worth.

“Hi” to you too, Bleeb.

I don’t know what’s worse-the crack of the whip or the song itself.;-D

The Weird AL Yankovic version is better ! ( EAT IT )

He’s very Devo-ish.

Not exactly the deluxe cruise he was expecting, but Bleeb’s an easy going guy.

Hi, Bleeb!

You hear that Norm? It’s that old Viking sea shanty “Whip it”… Yeah, it’s a little known fact there Norm, that it was actually used by the Vikings to set the cadence to the oarsmen there! … and to uh, provide a motivational piece for the men to sing along to…

Thanks Cliffy!

Great… Now I’ve got that earworm all day.

I can only think of the gains they’ll get in the arms and pectoral area.

We used to sing (for laughs) the song from the animated version of The Hobbit. “Where there’s a whip (sound of whip snapping) – there’s a way!”

Don’t just stand there Bleeb, grab an oar.

At least they’re provided with corrective lenses!

love it !

I actually got to see Devo do that in concert at a Macworld trade show. Without the funny hats, they looked just like the rest of us nerds. But they still got it!!!

….Brake your mother’s back….

Whip it, whip it real good….
