"
Whip It" is a 1980
single by American
new wave band
Devo. It appears on the album
Freedom of Choice. There were two 7" single releases of "Whip It", one backed with a remix of the track "Snowball" (which appears on
Freedom of Choice) and one backed with "Turn Around" (a song later covered by
Nirvana). "Whip It" was Devo's biggest hit, peaking at No. 14 on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart, No. 11 on the Canadian Singles chart. As a single it reached No. 77 on the Australian Singles chart but it was also the key selling point of the Dev-O Live EP, which reached number one in that country's singles charts.
