Whip It by Devo is featured in The Hurt Locker, Part One, the fourth episode of Season Six. It is sung by Vocal Adrenaline, with Clint singing lead.
As apart of Will's plan to go full throttle against the New Directions and Warblers at the invitational, Vocal Adrenaline performs Whip It, the final performance in the episode, much to the awe of Kurt, Blaine, Rachel and the new members of the New Directions.
Lyrics[]
Clint:
Crack that whip
Give the past a slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
When something's goin' wrong
You must whip it (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
Clint and Female Vocalists:
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good
Clint (with Female Vocalists):
When a good time turns around
(You must whip it) (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
You will never live it down
(Unless you whip it) (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
No one gets away
(Until they whip it) (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
Clint and Female Vocalists:
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
Crack that whip (Female Vocalists: Whip)
Give the past a slip (Female Vocalists: Slip)
Step on a crack (Female Vocalists: Crack)
Break your momma's back (Female Vocalists: Back)
When a problem comes along
You must whip it (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
When something's goin' wrong
You must whip it (Female Vocalists: You must whip it)
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Well, whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
