Contributed by theonetruebill. Posted by aubin on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at 1:00 PM (EDT)

New-wave/punk pioneers Devo have announced plans to release a new 12-inch single. The record is titled Watch Us Work It and is due out December 9, 2008. The vinyl release contains four versions of their song, "Watch Us Work It," which made it's debut in a campaign for PC maker Dell Computers. Along with those four versions, it will include the song "Devo Was Right About Everything" by Attery Squash as remixed by Robert and Gerald Casale.

We also dug up a copy of the minute-long Dell commercial which uses the song.

"Apparently, the highest compliment our culture grants artists nowadays is to be in an ad — ideally, naked and purring on the hood of a new car"

I don't think they could possibly make this sound more like whip it if they tried.

I'm super, super excited about this. I love this song and have wanted it on some sort of physical format since it was first released.

That album art is pretty sweet, though.

HAWT! I love this song.

For the record, this song is also needed in Rock Band.

It's an excellent single, I hope they issue it in a proper evolved format too.
Recently I bought all their CDs (even though I'd got the Anthology CD, most of the vinyl and 'borrowed' MP3s)
I love the Hardcore albums, it's a shame they're not more readily available (they go for around £40 & £75 in the UK - if you can find them!)
