IIRC tho I'm the only one one this board who is a stan of 'Oh No! It's DEVO.'

<3 Devo to death but I think I prefer "Racer X" by Big Black as far as Speed Racer-related songs go.

Is this song actually about the speed racer cartoon?

HELL NO!

One of the first concerts I went to was Devo on the "Oh No" tour in 1982 (Universal Amp.)

also the video for "Peek-A-Boo" is AWESOME

On the DVD Mark says a girl wrote him to note she watched the video when she was on acid and had a horrible trip, thinking scary-glasses-Mark was watching her the whole time.

This is their last truly great record, though there's a lot to like on Shout as well. Haters be damned.

My favorite part of this song is the pirate's laugh "rah ha ha ha ha ha ha, rho ho ha haa hah ha" and that is not on this poll :(

Love this track, but the album's finest hour remains "Big Mess."
