I’m going to go cry now.
(This should be in the pit, but I’m too tired and sad to rant at the moment)
Proof Positive: There is a God. And he hates us.
:eek: NOOOOOOooooooooo! 
Go. And. Look. At. The. Videos. On. That. Link.

There are NOT ENOUGH EEKS to GO AROUND!
Those aren’t the ones Gene Simmons was grooming up in his unholy image in Rock School, are they?
Oh stop old fart bitching… What could be any *more * devo than that!
So… Whip It was really about whipped cream? I knew it!
Also, quit bitching? QUIT BITCHING?!
(A) That’s …uh… what we do here, Bob.
(B) Plus it would be morally wrong. Somebody somewhere once said something to the effect of [paraphrase] “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”* Well, I won’t be a codependent enabler for the forces of e-vil!

- I may get the SDMB award for the most unattributed quote. I mean, “Somebody somewhere once said something to the effect of [paraphrase]?!” Even I want to give me one of these: :dubious:
Seconded.
It’s post- post- post-modern.
I don’t know. I might, almost, pay money to get a recording of “Emperor” singing Uncontrollable Urge. 
At least that would be wrong in a good way.
What next? Black 2abbath?, featuring a singer named OZ2Y, who likes to keep himself nice and neat, and bites the heads off marshmallow chickens on stage?
Yup.

I have a hard time getting upset about this. Devo might have started out as a political/art project, but to most people who liked them back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, they were a novelty band, similar to B-52’s. Considering that Mothersbaugh went on to make music for the Rugrats and Pee-Wee’s playhouse, I don’t think they are too upset. Especially withan outlook of massive royalties from ten year olds who have never heard of the band, but will gobble it up.
And I have a hard time thinking Disney would get away with this, including the parpahrasing of the name and the use of the hats, without consent from Devo.
Follow the money.
A band called “the Love Guns” with Sid Virtue and Johnny Clean-cut.
Alas, KISS have beaten you to it, with the immortal lyrics
Nowhere to hide, baby, nowhere to run
You pulled the trigger of my love gun
There was also an Aussie punk band named the Celibate Rifles, however they were quite good and hence have no place in this discussion.
Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?
Quite something, that.
I’m just happy to see a youth-oriented media outlet openly talking about (d)evolution…

I don’t know what to think. Maybe I’ll go home, make Innocent Schoolgirl watch The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, have a stiff drink or two, and cry a bit. Or maybe not.
All I’m saying is, between this and the musical licensing for that damnable “Swiff-It” commercial, Mothersbaugh had better be financing one hell of a coke habit.
AAARGH!! :mad: I think I’m going to pit Disney later, and maybe even capitalism in general.
Jesus-H-fucking-Christ-on-a-tricycle-wearing-a-propeller-beanie. You’re damn right they’re doing this with Devo’s consent, seeing as how not only are they repeating the name and the look, but using the same songs as well. This is a Kiddie Devo Cover Band, is what this is. And they’re going to ruin whatever they get their mitts on, because they’re a bunch of fucking kids. :mad:
Hmm, what’s worse is this can spread. I didn’t mind the Kidz Bop crew trashing modern hits since I never particularly cared for the songs or the bands that played them but this seems different.
And if it’s profitable then I imagine other bands or the labels that own them will try and cash in. I shudder at the possbilities.
I just watched a bunch of clean-cut blond kids sing “Whip It.”
That has got to be the freakiest thing I’ve ever seen.
WTF?!?
