I remember hearing this at 12 and being haunted. Listening to it again, I still am. Unfortunately for the same reasons.

It's OK baba, you did the same w/ Peekaboo. Devo was gonna be my next, and thats what I would have picked. Whip it is good, and all, but the vid did'nt affect me the same. O superman, peekaboo, and these two affected me the most when I first saw them in a visual medium. Videos were great.
