Uncontrollable Urge by Devo (1978)


Are We Not Men? We are Devo. Asked and answered. I don't know if you classify Devo's early work as punk, new wave, or something else. I do know that this has got to be one of the best first songs of a first LP.

I didn't know about this song or LP when it first came out. Hey, I was only 7 years old. My first exposure to Devo was about three or four years after this with the video release of 'Whip It'. There was no escaping knowing about Whip It in the early days of MTV. That tune has its own merits, but I know prefer their earlier work.
