Shouldn't this one be "None of the above"? I know they're looking for
The Beatles, but for a "How well do you know DEVO?" contest, I'd think
"Because" (in the Complete Truth incidental musik) would count.

Was "Because" actually covered for TCTAD, or did they just put a
recording of the song through some sort of audio processor? (I'm
thinking either phase shifter or frequency shifter, but I don't know
for sure.)

Their favorite goofy effect was the Electro-Harmonix frequency
analyzer. I'd bet dollars to donuts that's what you're hearing.

Yeah, that's definitely a possibility. Wish I knew exactly
what gear they had back then.
