Devo - Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy
Posted by Randy Jackson at 12:00 am in New Wave, Rock

Devo

This is one of those great underrated songs that a lot of people know nothing about. From the band’s first album, it starts out with a mid-tempo fingerpicking style, but quickly evolves (or should I say “de-volves”) into a a tense rocker before exploding in disgust at the person in question. Excellent guitar work, the organ works perfectly here too. Just a great song.

Here’s a link to a fan video

And of course, the lyrics:

Something about the way you taste
Makes me want to clear my throat
There’s a method to your movements
That really gets my goat

I looked for silver linings
But you’re rotten to the core
I’ve had just about all I can take
You know I can’t take it no more

I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling, feeling

Centered ’round long time ago
On your ability to torment
Then you took your tongs of love
And stripped away my garment

I looked for silver linings
But you’re rotten to the core
I’ve had just about all I can take
You know, I can’t take it no more

I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling, feeling

I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling, feeling

I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling, feeling

I got a gut feeling
I got a gut feeling, feeling

Slap your mammy down
Slap your mammy down again

Slap your mammy down
Slap your mammy down again

Slap your mammy down
Slap your mammy down again

Slap your mammy down
Slap your mammy down again

Oh move it up and down now
Oh move it all around now

Slap your mammy down
Slap your mammy down again

Oh move it up and down now
Oh move it all around now
