Devo

== Info ==
New wave band with a phenomenal cult following. They successfully covered Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones. A modern cover band known as Devo 2.0 is performing censored versions of Devo songs, which the band doesn't mind. They are known for their "flower pot" hats called "energy domes" and their character Booji Boy (pronounced "boogie boy"). Despite their cult following they have not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their name comes from the concept of "de-evolution", in which mankind "devolves" back into single-celled organisms. Their debut album went gold. Freedom of Choice went platinum. Whip It was their only top forty hit but they had several dance hits. Their music has been used on television.

Weird Al Yankovic parodied Devo with his song Dare to Be Stupid. It sounds much like Devo song Big Mess. This song was used in The Transformers Movie during the Junkions sequence. In reference to this, Yankovic voiced the leader of the Junkions in the Transformers Animated series.
Strong Sad, a character in the popular internet cartoon Homestar Runner, dressed up as Devo's Freedom of Choice costume in the Halloween episode Doomy Tales of the Macabre.
