DESCRIPTION:
This is another suggestion from a viewer. This cover is of Devo's song "Whip It". This became a hit when it was picked up by a radio programmer from Florida. He played it on some stations there and created the buzz that made it a hit. The song spread around the country. All the DJs and people hearing it assumed it was a song about beating off or sadomasochism, so they let them think that. Devo didn't want to ruin it and tell them the truth, because people just wouldn't get off on the truth.
