Written by Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh, "That's Good" features pulsing synths, driving beats, and a video that had to be heavily edited before MTV would agree to air it.
The single only made it to #102 on the US charts, which is mystifying in retrospect. The album went on to sell 1.1 million copies worldwide, so I guess the band got the last laugh, didn't they?
Be back next week with another great song that almost made my list.
Devo pull off the donut trick perfectly ... and it's not at all creepy ...like the Cars. And That's Good !
ReplyDeleteDevo is like the cool cousin who uses snide double entendres. The Cars are like the creepy, leering uncle who gets drunk a lot.
DeleteLMAO !!!! Perfect analogy !!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Berlin are like the hot 22 year old next door neighbor chick who knows how sexy she is and keeps running around in those short shorts and halter top and ..... whoa, almost veered into Rik Ocasek territory there
