Devo ( /ˈdiːvoʊ/, originally /diːˈvoʊ/) is an American punk rock/New Wave band formed in 1972 consisting of members from Kent and Akron, Ohio. The classic line-up of the band includes two sets of brothers, the Mothersbaughs (Mark and Bob) and the Casales (Gerald and Bob), along with Alan Myers. The band had a No. 14 Billboard chart hit in 1980 with the single "Whip It", and has maintained a cult following throughout its existence. Their style over time has shifted between punk, art rock, post-punk, and New Wave. Their music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary.

You want to learn something that I can teach you
You want to know a secret that I swear is true
Monkeys, we have more fun than humans ever do

Ooh, eee, oo, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang
Ooh, eee, oo, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang

We learn to climb and swing before we learn to run
We like to party and there is room for everyone
Come join us if you really want to have some fun

Ooh, eee, oo, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang
Ooh, eee, oo, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang

You never see us tired 'cause we are too, smart for workin'
A monkey knows a lot more than a man, we love swinging in the trees
And eating our bananas, don't you know we never need a plan?

We never worry we just, eat, and sleep and play
That's how we make the most of each and every day
If you want to be a monkey then this is what you say­

Ooh, eee, oo, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang
Ooh, eee, oo, ah, ah, ting, tang, walla, walla, bing, bang

Humans always seem to have their backs a little twisted
And make the monkey get on in the tree
But if you could look at the life in the same way the monkey see it
Maybe you'd be over here with me
