[edit] Prologue

I once heard that Carroll Burnett cancelled the band from her show after seeing the Whip It video. Source- "The History of Rock and Roll" documentary 1995.

[edit] The song

Mothersbaugh says in the source listed: "Nobody really knew it was actually about Jimmy Carter." Ronald Reagan wasn't elected until nearly a year after the song debuted on New Year's Eve 1979. The unsourced reference to Ronald Reagan appears to be merely POV-pushing or wishful thinking. -- 68.45.226.99 04:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
