Suburban Robots Monitor Reality

Submitted by Dr_Frank

Walt Disney Records takes devolution to the next level with Dev2.0: Devo reincarnated as telegenic little kids.

Kind of creepy, yet kind of mesmerizing. My internal irony-o-meter was flashing like a strobe light and finally blew a hole through my skull during the video for "Beautiful World." It's never straight up and down...

How does an idea like taking Devo and reinventing them as a kid band even get green lighted? That is what makes Dev2.0 so fascinating to me. I can't even believe the exist. My eyes and ears have got to be lying to me.

I do not believe that these kids can (themselves) cover Devo's music.

Oh and is there any Devo commentary on this? I'd be disgusted. Wait. I AM disgusted. puke

Not every kid needs everything dumbed right down. I would just give my kids a real DEVO record. Jocko Homo!

Hah, the golden girls rock! They remind me of this song by the Futuristic Sex Robotz (www.futuristicsexrobotz.com) about Halo, where they claim that you play like you spend every round looking at Bea Arthur nudes... (she's the girl in the middle of that pic) he he he...
But yeah... Dev2.0? WTF? That is REDICULOUS!

Must...stop...laughing

That was awesome. AWESOME I say, in all caps even to try and convey the awesomeness.

If they have a cover of Mongoloid I'm totally going to download it.

Okay, so Devo must need money, but why make a pact with Satan? Disney needs to come up with an original thought, not just repackaging classics. Why the fuck is there going to be a Bambi 2?!

See, I was thinking that this was hilarious and brilliant, but then I listend to Beautiful World and heard how they changed they lyrics at the end.
And then I was very, very sad...

I think it's hysterical, and the people whining about "selling out" have such a lame sense of humor, that I'm not sure why they were DEVO fans in the first place.
