Who should Devo cover? Who should cover Devo?

[Electro Robo Boogie Bot]

I still wish Devo would do a mix album of some of their hits and misses,
extending, morphing and twisting some of their classics into a new mutant
millenium update like only Devo could do it. Until that day arrives, I can only
dream.
Which brings me to my point. While daydreaming on the above mentioned Devo
dream project, I pondered over some songs by other bands that I thought would
be great if Devo had done a mutated version of, the following are a few of my
picks...

I'm Bored - Iggy Pop
It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna' Rock N' Roll) AC/DC
I'm Your Boogie Man - KC & The Sunshine Band
Takin' Care Of Business - Bachman Turner Overdrive
Imagine - John Lennon
Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees

Then I got to thinking about what artists I would like to see cover Devo, and
here's a few of what I came up with...

Whip It - Fatboy Slim
Triumph Of The Will - Tom Jones
Going Under - The Hives
Explosions - The Chemical Brothers
Snowball - Britney Spears
Girl U Want - Smash Mouth

Okay now, let's hear some of your ideas, gang.






"I hear the battlecry of the holy masses. I see the White House reflecting in
the T-800's sunglasses. And I think to myself, what a wiggly world."

Who should DEVO cover?

Stan Kenton - La Suerte de los Tontos
(with newly-written lyrics, sung by Booji)

Haun Melee, a traditional Egyption song
(download MP3 here:)
http://www.el-bakkar.com/music/PortSaid/07_Haun_Meelee.mp3

No More Night
(A treacly gospel song by the Gaithers with the wasted vocal talents of
David Phelps, who should be singing stuff like vintage KANSAS and ELP
and not this mass-market god poo)

The STINGRAY theme song, from the 1960s TV puppet show.

Lots more, but you get the idea.

Who should cover DEVO?

Everybody.

Country?

What beer do you think Darth Vader drinks?

Milwaukee's Best Ice. 24 pack for $8.99. Darth can make the can float
accross the room and open itself, but he has to have a Sith nurse pour
the beer down his medical neck tube.

Nah, Darth drinks everclear in the below-described method, and is able
to banish the effects of alcohol by force of will (with the help of
little nanobots in his bloodstream.)

Oh yes! I forgot about the mitoclitorises. They're like a thousand
tiny women urging your fingers to let go.

All I know is that I was at this party once, and Vader had clearly had a little
too much to drink and he tried to get another mug of beer and the tap was dry,
then he starts remote strangling the host and babbling, "I find your lack of
Beer disturbing!". It took a dozen people to pull him off the poor guy. Talk
about a major buzzkill.

Yeah - and the saddest thing was that Vader was lurking around the whole
night, obviously waiting for the perfect moment to say that clever line,
which he thought of earlier at the Target when he was marking down
"designer lamps" again. You can get a pretty cool wonky lamp there for
about $3 now. It looks a little weird, but it's cheap. Those halogen
bulbs make me nervous, though. I hear they can blow up and shower you
in the face with tiny pieces of glass going a million miles an hour.

Do not touch the glass. The natural oils from your filthy disgusting
body will cause the bulb to explode.

That's why I'll never party with the guy again. He's a jerk. Now Yoda, there's
a dude who knows how to party!

major buzzkill.

EC Comics quit publishing comic books by the dawn of the silver age.
Their comic book line was a casualty of the "Seduction Of The Innocent"
comic book witchhunt of the 1950's.
Major Buzzkill was a villian that was rejected and never made it into Marvel
Comics' "Tales Of Suspense" #100.

Dance all night, dance a little longer. Make those mutant genes grow stronger.

[Rich Anderson]

Polysics have already covered Devo twice, or three times, technically.

First, a cover of Social Fools on the Live in Japan album. This album also
has a cover of Secret Agent Man done in a Devo style

On the XCT EP, they covered Jerkin' Back And Forth in a very cool, jazzy,
slow style with vocoder vocals.

I'd like to see 'em tackle Uncontrollable Urge, though.

Not that I'm a big Moby fan but I didn't know he did a version of Whip It? I'll
have to check it out.
