Devo – Peek-A-Boo! (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

“Peek-a-Boo!” is a song by American new wave band Devo, written by Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale. It appears on their fifth studio album Oh, No! It’s Devo.

According to Gerald Casale from the audio commentary for their film, The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, “Peek-a Boo! was a song about Devo’s circus-like look and the dark side of human nature, the side we try to keep secret, the side we try to deny, in this Christian world where we’re only supposed to have happy endings and only supposed to be good, and instead Devo is dealing with what evil is here in a very light-hearted manner.”

In the United States, the song reached #106 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 and #13 on the Billboard Dance chart. In Australia the “Peek-a-Boo!” peaked at #45 on ARIA Top 100.
