Any selling out happened when they signed with a major label, in the 70's. Like Mark, I appreciate the absurdity.

"Whip It," the 1980 song that was the anthem of the band Devo's rage against a society dehumanized by industry and commercialism "

Crack that whip
 Give the past the slip
 Step on a crack
 Break your momma's back
 When a problem comes along
 You must whip it
 Before the cream sits out too long
 You must whip it
 When something's going wrong
 You must whip it
 now whip it
 into shape
 shape it up
 get straight
 go forward
 move ahead
 try to detect it
 it's not too late
 to whip it
 whip it good
 When a good time turns around
 You must whip it
 You will never live it down
 Unless you whip it
 No one gets their way
 Until they whip it
 I say whip it
 Whip it good
 repeated

So the above is an anthem "against a society dehumanized by industry and commercialism" ? Really?!
