Lyric discussion by saxypepper 

I forget who it was, but a friend of mine in a rehab I went to told me that Devo (standing for De Evolution) was a band that took an 80's progressive approach to the growing commercialization, loss of ideals, and corporatization of the 80's as opposed to the 70's in America. When they say whip it, they mean for us to get our act together. In the music video, they're wearing flower pots on their head, but they are facing down, indicating that we are growing in reverse, de evolving and deteriorating instead of growing. But don't worry, it's not too late. If we try to detect it, we will, and we can get straight and move forward again.

@saxypepper It's not a plant pot, it's an energy dome hat.
