I recently got a CD with 12 80's new wave songs on them. (I'm 11 and an 80's freak!) Well I had heard the chorus of Devo's "Whip It" before but didn't know any of the rest of the song. So when they did the, "Now whip it. Into shape. Shape it up.." I didn't know it. When they said "Try to detect it" I thought they said, "tatooed detective." I was like, "What does a tatooed detective have to do with this song?"
