.. Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 This is just demented. Devo. You know, the wonderful 1970-1980's punk/prog nerd group famous for flower-pot hats, yellow jumpsuits and, err, "suggestive" songs. Reincarnated as telegenic pre-teen Disney Mouseketeers singing an album full of Devo classics plus a couple of new Devo originals in a new album for children on the Disney label. With not only the permission of the original members of Devo, but with their full support -- the original members played the actual instruments on the album while the kids of "Devo 2.0" sang. If it is a gag, it is a wonderfully delicious one (and I certainly would not put it past Mark Mothersbaugh). Devo managed to get Disney to bankroll the gag, even to the point of making videos (directed by bassist Gerry Casale) where twelve-year-old kids who obviously have no idea what they're singing about dance around and pretend to play instruments while singing "Whip it, whip it good!" Heck, these kiddies aren't even old enough to know when discipline would be fun (ehheheheheheheh!). And DISNEY bankrolled this. DISNEY! BWAHAHAHAHAH! Duty Now For The Future! Devolve Or Die! Love it!

bust Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 That's what Jerry Casale does best these days. Sells product. He's become an advertising executive. What a fantastic idea. Saw them once very predictable but still highly entertaining. Let's just keep our fingers crossed there's not a Duran Duran 2 out there somewhere. Top stuff.
