U.S. single release occurred on August 13, 1980, with the 7-inch vinyl featuring "Whip It" as the A-side and "Turn Around" as the B-side. The track gained popularity through radio play and its iconic music video, which helped it achieve lasting recognition on early MTV.
Internationally, the single saw later releases, such as in the UK in November 1980, sometimes including additional tracks on 12-inch versions. Its commercial success solidified Devo’s presence in the new wave and synth-pop scene, making "Whip It" their signature song and a cultural touchstone of the early 1980s.
I didn't get to watch it until around 1987 time frame when I was allowed more channels and more tv time not to mention by one of my cousins that was in to the show
