Yeah they were fun. They definitely wrote those lyrics after eating some good hash brownies, though. | |

They were a fun band. I used to like this song when it was first out, but now it's a commercial jingle for Wick's Furniture. That one and Brick House. "It's a Wicks....hooooouse!" | |

Eww...remember when Devo's Whip It was used in a Swiffer commercial? Ruined forever.  | |

Eww...remember when Devo's Whip It was used in a Swiffer commercial? Ruined forever. Yeah, that was pretty bad. That may not be their own doing it seems. Came across this on Wikipedia (so it may or may not be true): "Whip It" has been used in several commercials, for products such as Pringles, Twix, Gateway Computers, and most recently Swiffer cloths. Due to the nature of Devo's contract with Warner Brothers, they do not own the rights to the original recording of "Whip It". Devo often re-records their songs for use in advertising, and for the Swiffer ad, the band also agreed to change the lyrics as well. One example of the changes is the line "You must whip it" which was replaced by "You need Swiffer." | |

Well, given that they wouldn't have gotten anything out of the deal otherwise, I can't say I blame them. | |

"You need Swiffer" This song was also used to memory-destroying effect in that Kate Hudson vehicle "Raising Helen". | |

And, as usual, I'll be the one to come on here and say that if I had to pick a band I really hate, it would be Roxette.
It must seem like I just post to be contrary to MikeMatronik all the time, but damn, we must just have polar opposite taste in music.
Roxette.   "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Roxette. They were a teenage favorite of mine. The only song of theirs I seem to still like is, Listen to Your Heart. And, yes, I realize it's total cheese. | |

I liked The Look until a friend pointed out to me that when she hears the song, bubble gum juice starts flowing out of the radio. After that comment, I never liked them again. My dislike was further fueled by their subsequent horrid releases.
THEM and ACE of BASE :vomit: Christian Zombie Vampires | |

I always get those two groups confused, and I dislike them equally.

That song is horrible, and this is coming from the dude with the corniest tastes on here I can see why minnig doesn't like 'em. Very programmed, icky synth riffs etc... My fav song is one they did for the "super mario" soundtrack called "almost unreal". That came at the tail end of their fame I guess. That sorta music went out of style very quickly. Their albums are pretty average. "It must of been love" would be alright but I hear and see the video all the damn time. | |

Wait...you see any sorta difference between It Must Have Been Love and Listen to Your Heart? You think one is corny but not the other? And for some reason, I can't imagine something on the soundtrack for a Nintendo game not being corny. | |

And for some reason, I can't imagine something on the soundtrack for a Nintendo game not being corny."it must of been love" isn't half as overblown as "listen to your heart". "Listen to your heart" is a someone immitating Diane Warren, badly. If you like overblown AOR, go for Chicago. | |

Back when it came out, "U Got The Look" had previously dropped, and I thought then that it was a ripoff. But I haven't heard the song in ages. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
