The main riff of Devo's old tune "Fraulein" on Hardcore Vol. 2 is a
direct quote of the riff in "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott, which you
might remember being used in lots of old cartoons. Who's Raymond Scott?
Electronic music pioneer, jazz man, cartoon music composer, amongst
other things. His story really deserves investigation for the
uninitiated. I went from having never heard of him to being a full
blown fan-boy in a single day when I learned about him. Check out
http://www.raymondscott.com/ for lots of info, you might be left amazed.
Devo-related note: Mark M is on the board that overseas the Raymond
Scott archive.
