Going to forego any research and dive onto it...

This song made me chuckle at first. There's all this exuberance about the end of the work-day, seemingly from the point of view of the employer, who seems to be doing well for himself.

meaning? Ha! meaning in a DeVo song: that's rich. But considering the forum, I may as well give my own impressions.

Damn... see what I mean? I just like the song. It amuses me. Is the speaker happy? Does he care about his clock-punchers, or are they merely cogs to make him more money? Does it matter? what kind of future could be described metaphorically as "maintennance free"? ( A great phrase choice in terms of the salesmanship and business-mentality put forth here). Great stuff. monkey Men all: beware! beware! a cautionary tale from Devo? listen if you are able. -Phase
