How anyone can say otherwise after having a listen needs their head examined. Listen to Devo's "Gut Feeling" AT LEAST until the 2 minute mark of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YievWIX9AKk

Then, listen to "Get Some" from Conan last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9bScneEUOs

It's as blatant as Jack White/White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button" ripoff of seminal Detroit punk rocker Mick Collins and his old band The Gories' "Sovereignty Fight."

    No way, dude. Completely invalid. Boom wasn't there to play the keyboard part. The fact that the guitar and vocal melodies are completely similar doesn't mean anything. ;)

    Sometimes these claims have validity but this is a pretty big stretch. There are stylistic similarities but I don't see how you can call this a clear ripoff.

    Like Ed's ripoff of that French song for the guitar for Guaranteed... THAT'S clear. This is most certainly not.

    Exactly, but in the end two completely different songs.

    Out of all the bands in the world, Devo is one of them.

    Awesome? That is kind of a stretch.

    yep, clearly the same built up and "Got Some" = "Gut Feeling"

    nevertheless:

    AWESOME "NEW" SONG !!!!

    I can see how the band or Ed was influenced by DEVO on this. The real question is, if there was no Devo, would we be hearing "Get Some" today?
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    if there were less moronic comments like this, the world would be a much better place.
