John’s Ramblings

I was surfing my cycling links on the web the other day, and ran across a entry on Our Obligatory Blog, a cyclist in the Los Angeles Area. This particular entry was about the new music release by Disney of pre-teens performing the music of Devo.

I read the article, then clicked the link to the CD website, curious to see if the tracks included “Whip It”. It does.

That got me thinking about how I had always been led to believe that “Whip It” was a tribute to, well, self-pleasure. Being the curious and surf-capable dude that I am, I popped up another window, and started running Google searches on “Masturbation Songs 80s Whip It” and the like (it never ceases to amaze me how many hits you can find seaching like this. I suppose now this page will be among them [gasp]). As I started to find out by delving into my search results, the song wasn’t intended to be about THAT subject at all. Go figure.

My work phone then rang upstairs, which forces a mad-dash around the corner and up the stairs to get to my work phone before the end of the 4th ring. Forgotten was what I left on screen downstairs. Needless to say, the wife was quite curious about what I had been doing when I was supposed to be working!
