This is just too horrifying for words–four teenage kids doing Devo covers, with the blessing of the band.
“I’m honored to be the new Mark Mothersbaugh!” declared Nicole!says a press release. But I guess it is just the next step in devolution…
They don’t do “Mongoloid.”
Dr. Pimienta (2006-12-09):
And worst of all they changed "She's just a girl..." to "He's just a boy, he's just a boy.. a boy you like"
So it's not just kids covering Devo, it's teenyboppers covering Devo.
Lippard (2006-12-09):
Actually, worse still is that the musicians on the recording are the real Devo... the kids aren't playing the instruments.
And worse yet--this was given to me as a gift for my birthday!
Einzige (2006-12-09):
This is the real truth about de-evolution!
Something tells me they don't do Soo Bawls or I Need a Chick, either.
We are DEVO!
