Check out the version by Sam Bush.
gonna have to check that one out. Whip It is a classic tune with a classic vid.
In that vein, we should mention the incredible Weird Al Yankovic, whom Devo admired. Esp. w/r/t Dare to Be Stupid; but for my money Weird Al is a Prophet. A wonder, to be sure, but not a one-hit one. Probably deserves his own thread. Or universe.
I didn’t nominate that song—someone else mentioned “2525” as if it were a 1970s song. I agree it’s an interesting song (if not particularly logical). It came out about the same time as the first moon landing & moon walk by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
‘The Weight’ by The Band.
The 70’s birth of disco and the bizarre clothes and shoes glad it passed.
Brandy’s group Looking Glass had a few others
Great song by them is
Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne 1973
worth a listen
Hey, Hoser. Geddy Lee hit #16 on “Take Off”.
And now come the flashbacks to roller skating on Saturday nights as a kid and that song playing over and over and over again as we all went around and around and around.
Billy Don’t Be a Hero, along with Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves and Charley Pride’s version of Kaw-Liga were the roller rink favorites and now I’ll be hearing them in my head all night until I go to bed, too.
Thanks … lol
Lol......my sincere apologies. I wish you a quick recovery !
