Devo - Wiggly World Lyrics






They say the fittest shall survive
Yet the unfit may live
Let 'em wear gaudy colors
Or avoid display
Hey it don't matter
It's all the same

So I do this and I do that
So I do this and I do that
So I do this and I do that

It's never straight up and down
It's never straight up and down
It's never straight up and down
It's never straight up and down

Oh you got a nickel
I got a dime
I'd like to get to know you
But I haven't got the time
You gotta walk like a mannequin
Roll like a tire
Act on reaction
Dodge the big spud fryer
So wiggle on the bottom
Wiggle on the top
Wiggle up the middle
And laugh a lot
Cause I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world, a wiggly world
I got to tell you
I've been living in a wiggly world now
Wiggly world, a wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world, a wiggly wor/d
I got to tell you
I've been living in a wiggly world
WiggIy world, a wiggly world

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Yeah I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Oh I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been Iiving
In a wiggly world now
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
wiggly world
Oh, I've been living in a wiggly
Wiggly world

Devo Wiggly World Comments
  1. A.... ....

    BEST BAND THAT HAS EVER GRACED PLANET EARTH. SMART PATROL FOREVER. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🦴

  2. T.... D....

    Sometimes it's straight up and down

  3. L.... D....

    Listening to this music in my country , at my age , sure was a freaky thing .... i remember a schoolmate while listening to this track , turn on me and say "this is for drug addicts ..."

  4. A.... ....

    SUPER TRACK

  5. B.... ....

    One of the best songs on their 2nd album!

  6. 3.... ....

    Alan Myers was an absolute beast on the skins, a wizard at managing and blending the band's weird, short-attention-span time signatures, and really at the top of his game here on "'Duty Now For The Futue."

    A woefully underrated musician who departed our Wiggly World way too soon.

    3.... ....

    the Human Metronome

  7. A.... A....

    First ever album with barcode symbols.

    A.... A....

    Buzzweenie 2049 This was when barcodes were required for retail products. Other artists complained loudly over this. Devo simply incorporated them into the technology themed design.

  8. I.... C....

    Wow this is amazing

  9. I.... C....

    kick ass

  10. T.... S....

    Drum tabs! Drum tabs! A kingdom for accurate drum tabs to this wonderful song!

  11. 3.... ....

    Listen to that man beat them drums!

  12. T.... C....

    One of the greatest bands ever

  13. L.... C....

    Been living in a Wiggly World since I bought the album, back in the '80s.

  14. g.... a....

    Semplicemente superlativi!

  15. K.... ....

    I saw Devo their first show in Detroit which was at the Punch & Judy Theater and their first album had either just come out or was about to come out.  They opened with this song.  Then I saw their 2nd show in Detroit which was at Music Hall and they opened with this again but the second album hadn't yet come out but when it did like a week or two later, it had this song on it.

    K.... ....

    @Kirke182 Dude, you got me beat. I think the first time I saw them this album had come out. I can't imagine how awesome it would've been to see them that show in Detroit. Those were some fun days.

    K.... ....

    concerts were great fun then. I couldn't imagine wasting my time seeing most of the yokels people think are so great these days.

    K.... ....

    Kirke182 What a momento !

  16. M.... ....

    Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle!!

  17. C.... X....

    grettings from chile!!!

    C.... X....

    +CrISoL XaMoL
    Is that Pyramid Lake?

  18. J.... H....

    I like the live versions of this song much better where it is more raw guitar and rough Moog.  The live riff from the bass and the lead are mesmerizing.

  19. R.... V....

    IT'S NEVER STRAIGHT UP AND DO-O-O-O-O-O-WN

    R.... V....

    I LOVE YOUR FLICK PIC

  20. M.... G....

    I was 12 at the time. And you somehow read that like DEVOing the hell out of it was a bad thing.

  21. C.... ....

    I'm guessing this was a bit before your time? When all the other kids were listening to crap like the Eagles an Frampton this is what we "losers" were listening to.

  22. b.... s....

    1 wear gaudy colors or avoid display
    2 lay a million eggs or give birth to one
    3 the fittest shall survive yet the unfit may live
    4 be like your ancestors or be different
    5 we must repeat!

  23. M.... G....

    This tune has a really great groove and riff and somehow they still managed to DEVO the hell out of it.

  24. L.... D....

    It's NEVER straight up and down...!

  25. L.... P....

    power rangers jacking off

  26. T.... B....

    We4, you rock.

  27. h.... ....

    I'm certainly living in a wiggly world.

  28. c.... b....

    this ones for kev !!!
