    Uh, they're so "lifeless" because they are usually the original album versions (sometimes last.fm streams live versions without indicating so) and for obvious reasons bands don't let loose till they perform live. Vocals sounds Geddy-ish on this one.

    The versions on last.fm are so lifeless.. I am listening to this from the live cd and just watching the devo pics with the sounds off.. far better!!

    they certainly had some big bollox to wear some of those hats and allow someone to take photos for history to see how ridiculous they now look. good track!

    I'd break my own legs dancing to this if any club played it. Danciest song of recorded history.

    If you're looking for the best cover of this song it's by Flash Gilmore and the Funbeatles who you can see at the Shamrock in Alameda, CA every Thursday in July!

    Just as "indie" as anything, in my book.
