I was never crazy about this cover as recorded, but I really dug this live version:

Hey guitar guys, have you ever seen someone tape their pedals all over their guitar like that?
-
That drumbeat is one of the all-time greatest beats ever.
-
damn
excellent showmanship
way ahead of their time.

God made man, but he used the monkey to do it.
That video was before Jerry started foggin'.

Really ive always thought this was one of the great covers of any song.
-
That's pretty awesome, both the musical performance and the "choreography". I remember hearing a live album of theirs years ago (wish I could remember which one) and being blown away by how good it was.
I also had no idea that Fred Willard hosted SNL.

Yah, for some reason this cover just did not speak to me, but I was an insane Stones fan for a very long time, and even though I really love Devo too, well ... I just decided to not acknowledge this song.

Here's Devo performing "Through Being Cool" on the show Friday's. They really do blur the line between concerts and performance art.

I love Devo, love that cover.
As far as guitars/pedals, there was a band in Bloomington in the 90s called El Nino (not the other El Nino) which used a lot of noisy, heavily pedalled up guitar in their sound, and the guitarist essentially covered the guitar with effects pedals he had taped on. I don't know if that was a Devo influenced move or not.

I remember my father complaining about that SNL performance. He really hated them.
No where near as progressive as Manhattan Transfer, but what are you going to do?
-
Thumbs up for Devo, the cover and the performance.
And thumbs up to Pat K:
That drumbeat is one of the all-time greatest beats ever.
The economy is perfect.
-
Man. I never realized Devo had a triple guitar attack. Gnarly video though.
-
The band member on the far right looks a heck of a lot like Fred Armisen.
