Devo - Be Stiff Lyrics

Don't listen to the biscuits, they're limp. Be stiff!!!

devo was rocking in the 70 then they whip it

Hey, hey guys, hey, hello, hey guys. You wanna do some stuuuuuff?

The best

Wasn't "Social fools the B side of this?

Be stiff, b-abies, be stiff
Fruit ooze is wetly lewd so
Stay dry in rubber boots and

Be stiff, b-abies, be stiff
Wet women waste your food
Go solo, no-no two's and

Be stiff, b-abies, be stiff
Breathe hard in metal suits now
Live right, make lots of loot and
Oh, be stiff!

i was feeling limp, so i dialed this up

Did anyone know that Toni Basil did a cover of this song ?

Listen to it at 1.5x speed and don't read the lyrics...great song.

1 2 beef stick

I remember having to explain to my little brother that this song was not about “beef sticks”.

Hahaha ! Damn it now I can't unhear it

99% Invisible brought me here

listening to it as I type. :)

Just came from that episode! Chi chi was such a doll about the whole thing!

What's is 99%, Never heard or it whatever it,

is this booji boy version ??

beef stick

Pepperoni stick?

a superb song by a great band how they never had any top ten hits is beyond me.

I think Whip it was a hit because it was played on MTV but your're right Devo was a great band with lots of cool songs as far as I remember however I don't think Blockhead would have been a hit on the raido in 1979. It was in my top 10 that year with out a doubt

1 2 Be Stiff.

devo forever great.

I remember had that single record recorded in clear blue vinyl. Social Fool was the b-side.

Yaaaaa be stiff my b@bys be stiff

Came here from Nero's Day At Disneyland! That crazy lauren has a great taste in music

I had my CA car plates "B STIFF" on a CVCC Honda from '80 til '87. Don't have to tell you the looks I got

Lots of kids that were thru bein cool tipping their flowerpot hats at you?

@Stuart Jenkins Are you offended due to ED?

@Scrambles the Death Dealer Offended? I'm in AWE. I would totally have tipped my flowerpot hat in respect.

@Stuart Jenkins My bad. I must have totally misunderstood your previous comment.

I tip my flowerpot hat to you in respect.

Be stiff, my name is be stiff,...

LOVE this almost more than actually being stiff

Be stiff

stately wrong

THAT'S HOW I CAME HERE TOO

so good that even The Undertones ripped off the riff for their (excelent song) 'Tearproof'!

Awesome!

great sound, thank you.
Spud:-)

fuck yes!

one of the coolest most original voices in rock music.

yep roxy music and that first wave of glam rock.

Irving! You socially awkward bee, you! I always imagine him cruising around town with this song.

+Killua Zoldyck or rushing to the nearest potential awkward situation

wait a minute

was the intention to be like "bee stiff"

great song.... Be stiff

RIP Bob

ah devo i may be a punk rocker but i still love devo

@whiterthan hitler Funny, because most 'punk' bands deny ever being punk these days. Punk's more an attitude or state of mind in this metalhead's opinion.

I always thought being a punk meant you just like whatever the fuck you like? Why even make that distinction?

‘Punk’, ‘New Wave’, ‘Post-Punk’, ‘Synth-Pop’.... blah-blah. Just a bunch of dumb labels. DEVO were just DEVO. They pre-date all that shit.

@whiterthan hitler that's pretty much me right now, a 16 year old kid who's into hardcore punk but I'm just discovering DEVO. I listened to their first album and I was instantly hooked.

@Isaac Macdonald My favorite song changes from time to time, I recommend checking out Beautiful World from the New Traditionalists album. Check out the whole album cause it's pretty neat.

wow, this is a rare devo track.  some may find it fun to watch a toni basil cover version of this song.

Eno produced it... reminds me a lot of early Roxy Music.

*ding!* Shoutout to Jim & Greg of Sound Opinions.
