I went with Girl U Want as well, although I struggled not picking Beatiful World...best Target commercial song ever.

In Edgy's poll I'll take the Cars all the way.

In order:
Uncontrollable Urge
Jocko Homo
Girl U Want
Through Being Cool
Beautiful World
Peek-a-Boo
Jerkin Back and Forth
Here to Go

What can I say, I'm a first album kind of guy. Sad that there was no
"Mongoloid" or "Satisfaction."

Also, voting on the song not on the videos as, being at work, I really can't be spending time looking at them.

Kid Carsey · Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 11:18 am Post subject:

Write-in vote for Mongoloid, song puts a stupid grin on my face
just thinking about it as I sit here bringing home the bacon.

Sharpie, if "Mongoloid" was available, woud that be your vote?

It's a pretty hot live version of "Urge" above. I only link live vids when they rawk.

The selection of "Mongoloid" vids wasn't great. Damn suburban robots are always monitoring reality.

The delegate from Massachusetts abstains, courteously.

(I don't know any of these songs).

sharpie · Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 12:16 pm Post subject:

Would "Mongoloid" be my vote? Maybe, woulda been in the top two or three. One of the few songs of theirs of any note where Mark Mothersbaugh isn't the lead vocalist. "Jerkin' Back and Forth" and "Here to Go" don't belong on any list of their best songs.

sharpie · Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 12:25 pm Post subject:

Edgy's poll (in order):

"Peace, Love, and Understanding"
"Girl U Want"
"I'm the Man"
"I'll Talk to Ya Later"
"Just What I Needed"
"My Sharona"
"I Want You to Want Me"
"Let's Go"

Johnny Dickshot · Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 12:52 pm Post subject:

I quite like "Here to Go" -- bo-oi-oi-oi-oing! (the video is cool too, soince it's like a Devo video highlight reel).

The VIP was never meant to be an all-inclusive list. Devo toes the line as one of those bands with too many good songs to make the VIP work.

Correct order:
"My Sharona"
"I'm the Man"
"Peace, Love, and Understanding"
"Let's Go"
"Girl U Want"
"Just What I Needed"
"I Want You to Want Me"
"I'll Talk to Ya Later"
