My personal favorite is Working in a Coalmine, closely followed by Secret Agent Man.

This may sound like a cliche, but I really like their version of "I Can't Get No(Satisfaction)". I often wonder how Mick and the boys reacted the first time they heard it?!! [:0]

The first time I saw Devo was their first appearance on Saturday Night Live-where they deconstructed "Satisfaction." It warped and scarred me for life-so, it has to be my favorite.

I agree with Echo, it's "Head Like a Hole" for me. Runner-ups would be "Working in a Coal Mine" and "Witch Doctor".

I'll have to go with "I Can't Get No(Satisfaction)" as well. I really didn't like it the first time I heard it but it's grown on me and it's quite different from the original. It rates right up there with David Bowie's cover of "Let's Spend the Night To

Satisfaction here too. It's a great arrangement especially of the "satisfaction" chorus - "can't get no...satisfaction...i can't get me no...satisfaction..no no no no no no no-no...satisfaction" LOL!

I'll cast another vote for Satisfaction. It was the first one I heard and it was just so strange anyone would even try to cover it, let alone Devo. And yeah, that SNL appearance was a trip.

I'll vote for Satisfaction also.
It was SO different from ANYTHING I had ever heard (and pretty much remains so).

How about "Don't Be Cruel"???
But then again, "Witch Doctor" is a great one. And if I'm not mistaken, it's the Devo version that Homer Simpson sings in one of the episodes (Ooo eee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang). But no, I'll have to go
