Devo at the End of (Working Class) History
Of all the elements of Stayin' Alive, I found the material around Devo to be the most surprising and interesting. It's a great teaser for the rest of the book, so here's a bit of the Devo stuff plus the "Jocko Homo" video: “Are We Not Men? We are Devo!” The other song that was paired with "Jocko Homo" was "Secret Agent Man"--watch it, it's great. Just in case you don't get the connection to occupational culture, it's pretty obvious in the beginning. "They've given me a number / But they've taken away my name."
