Devo - Jocko Homo Lyrics






They tell us that we lost our tails
Evolving up from little snails
I say it's all just wind in sails

Are we not men?
We are Devo
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O

We're pinheads now
We are not whole
We're pinheads all
Jocko Homo

Are we not men?
We are Devo
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O

Are we not pins?
We are Devo

Monkey men all in business suits
Teachers and critics all dance the poot

Are we not men?
We are Devo
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O

Are we not pins?
We are Devo
Are we not men?
D-E-V-O
[some versions include the following bridge: ]

I got a rhyme that comes in a riddle
O-Hi-O
What's round on the end and high in the middle?
O-Hi-O

Together now, God made man
But he used a monkey to do it
Apes in the plan
We're all here to prove it
I can walk like an ape
Talk like an ape
I can do what a monkey do
God made man
But a monkey supplied the glue

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

Are we not men?
We are Devo

We must repeat
D-E-V-O

We must repeat
D-E-V-O

We must repeat
D-E-V-O

We must repeat
D-E-V-O

We must repeat
D-E-V-O

We must repeat
D-E-V-O

We must repeat
D-E-V-O

We must repeat
Okay, let's go

  11. T.... M....

    Here in 2020, we listen to loud rap about rape, killing cops and ranting about racism with autotune. Anybody notice how Mothersbaugh looks like Bill Nye here? Or that boogie boy is sorta kinda like the pip boy from fallout ?

  12. M.... P....

    if you switch the playback speed to 1.25x it increase the anxiety by 150%

  13. N.... E....

    My Mom and Dad were fans of Devo among other bands when I was growing up in the 80's. My Mom had a Devo badge. WTF. :) They weren't fan music types so finding that badge....

  17. T.... G....

    BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!!!

  18. K.... A....

    Love this! It’s crazy how Devo stood for devolution back in the 70s and 80s and it is even more evident today. Go to any Walmart and you can see how society and mankind has fallen by the wayside.

  19. o.... ....

    When MTV first came out and they lacked content, because there weren't music videos, they used DEVO as filler.
    They had no idea that DEVO would be the high water mark of Music Videos.

  20. d.... d....

    This is shit

  21. T.... ....

    Pink guy?

  22. D.... M....

    We all are devo.

  23. M.... A....

    This is great. For decades I've always been trying to make weird music. Now I know I will never come close to this. It's over..now I can relax..

  24. D.... ....

    How did I end up here...

  25. A.... M....

    America's Kraftwerk. AMJ

  26. w.... c....

    blew our minds back in the day. smoked weed, watched these videos, devolved into pin heads.

  27. C.... R....

    that alarm!!!! Justice!!!!!!!!

  28. B.... L....

    Saw them in radio city ny 1983 or 3 don’t remember

  29. B.... G....

  30. f.... ....

    This is why I'm 76 and still taking loads of psychedelic drugs

    f.... ....

    What’s your favs I’m pretty much an acid head but everyone’s got their favorites

    f.... ....

    Gëfägnïs Sïngäfëg
    Psilocybin, Dimethyltryptamine and absinthe.

    f.... ....

    Nice man lots of people say shrooms are their favorite too. I figured an old timer like you would be more into acid but DMT is honestly better. Keep doing your thing👌

  31. G.... B....

    nuff said - Bijou Grandpa

  32. R.... R....

    If I suddenly watched some crazy ass, dressed as Boogie Boy, running towards me, I would be scared shitless in a nanosecond.

  33. I.... H....

    I'm really scared....

  34. s.... ....

    An original founding member of Devo asked to be compensated for his part in creating the band. The band refused and sued him claiming he had no part in it. He proved in court that they were liars. They settled with him. Nice guys.

  35. J.... C....

    Pure shit

  36. G.... M....

    When I got my first mohawk in Orange County CA back in 79, everyone would yell out DEVO!

  37. P.... K....

    The Golden Age of Ohio

  38. R.... ....

    what kind of music is this? DEVO what ? DEVO best videos ever

  39. J.... B....

    even more true today

  40. S.... J....

    class perfection

  41. S.... C....

    this is awful

  42. l.... l....

    I was bought up on 60s rock, not the pop shite, this is exellent, I discovered them from the akron album. Hence the painted wall at the start. Superb

  43. g.... ....

    If only our Congress was like this! We. Would. RULE!

    g.... ....

    Our Congress needs
    To be Committed
    We a New Government
    Learn from History
    Look what happened to
    Presdent John Kennedy
    Read the book
    They Killed Our Presdent
    By Jessie Ventura !
    We need a new Government !

  44. G.... S....

    Probably the 15th or so time I have seen this and it still makes me disturbed yet oddly satisfied

  45. P.... S....

    90% of the views are from me☺️😋 I like mr devos dancing skills 👨🏻‍🦲👊

  46. W.... ....

    Those were some pretty snappy dance moves

  47. T.... U....

    If you think you understand Devo, you don't understand Devo. Not only is Devo strange to imagine, they're stranger than we can imagine.

  48. W.... c....

    DEVO IS THE SHIT!!! SO FUCKING TALENTED AND ODD! = DOPE

  49. t.... b....

    Mad as as a box of frogs and yet strangely brilliant. Love it! I bet at the time Devo really divided people

  50. E.... B....

    So this is how Beck learned to dance!

  51. E.... M....

    An Amber Alert came through while I watched this video. Somehow, it fit.

  52. M.... T....

    DEVO The TRUE PIONEERS OF ROCKAND MUSIC Videos ahead of Their Time

  53. E.... ....

    Why is the quality so terrible? I mean this is shit. The video and audio? The song is cool though of course

  54. T.... R....

    I bump this loud as fuck with headphones on smoking a fat bowl every once in a while.

  55. T.... C....

    Too Much David Byrne on vocals

  56. �.... b....

    That drill solo, is sampled from Stress

  57. e.... ....

    Suburban Lawns , rips almost as much as "Devo" .

  58. F.... ....

    Interesting video with Mark
    https://youtu.be/GmT9qYed2RM

  59. D.... S....

    I don't see what the appeal is for these guys.. the song's not catchy, the music video unmemorable, not particularly good at their instruments. Influential? Absolutely. Good band? I will debate that until the end of time.. they're OK, but there were much cooler bands during the early 80s like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Blondie and shit..

    D.... S....

    Try The Residents you jagoff.

  60. C.... S....

    😻😻😻😻👁👁👁🤑🤑🤑🍦🍦🍦😁😁😁😜😜😜👾👾👾🤘🤘🤘🤘😘😘😘😘🤑🤑🤓🤓🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳😎🤓🤓🤓

  64. k.... k....

    I think the begining started Slipknot

  65. D.... ....

    Crumbs, i freakin love this too much. Perfect in every way, from start to finish.

  66. 3.... e....

    I am a Truther and if you are still asleep you will never see the messages hidden in mainstream Music, DEVO are brilliant but they as many others tell a story especially in this track, now you can go back to your slumber......

  67. k.... b....

  73. s.... ....

  74. F.... ....

  75. T.... S....

    A bunch of crybabies
    They Never Shine
    Presdent John Kennedy s Shoes

    A Democrat

    Enough Is Enough !

  79. M.... G....

    A bit surprised at seeing how many people actually hate this lol

    M.... G....

    Why ?
    Why do you ask Pray Tell ?
    This Video is still
    OMG !
    LMAO !
    And
    WTF !

  80. J.... L....

    1976: Devo devolves 1. The first Harlem Shake video! 2. The source for David Byrne’s character in the Talking Heads Once in a Lifetime Video (1980/81)

  81. S.... ....

    Been lovin Devo since hearing my older brother would blast them from his bedroom in the 70s but for some reason I keep thinkin of the rug rats theme in this lol. I know he did that too

  82. N.... S....

    Lol my Dog lifted his head when he heard the music in the beginning lol

    N.... S....

    So did mine. But then he did the same on Uncontrollable Urge too.

  83. N.... S....

  89. E.... M....

    When they came out, I was in Junior High. They're tunes and attitude always cracked me up.

  90. A.... L....

    Mark Mothersbaugh is a better dancer than Michael Jackson!!!!

    A.... L....

    They both went together in Double Dates
    Because DEVO helped The Jackson Family on Their
    Album s !

  91. D.... �....

    Inthejunior high in my hometown was a gym teacher named jocko who became known forever after this song came out as jocko homo. I think he was not a big fan of devo.
