BLOGLINE ENDEAVOR... Whip It by Devo (Unfinished Devo cover)

Whip It by Devo (Unifinished Devo cover minus vocals)


"Crack that whip..."

Adding to the theme of SUB ONE covers, this is a previously unearthed gem found in the SUB ONE archive. I could not resist the temptation to record my own version of Devo's hit, 'Whip It' from the early 80's.

There were several takes of this song, and yes I did record vocals. If my memory serves me correctly, I was working a valet service job at the time and it was my job through the week to hold on to a set of two way radios that we used to communicate with parking lot security. I decided to use these radios to record the vocals for the 'Whip It' song but none of the takes were done to my satisfaction. One thing that threw off the recording using two-ways was there was a level of magnetic interference that caused the recording head to react and it sounded like static on an old radio. In some instances I might have thought that was cool but it didn't sound right on this recording.

I'm sure at some point in the not so distant future, I could record proper vocals as an overdub to this instrumental track.

In the meantime, the instrumental track is a premier here on the SUB ONE blog.
