DEVO Should Do a Cover Version of...

[Dr. Strangemonde]

..."Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads -- mainly so stern, finger-waving
Booji Boy can give the speech in the middle that goes:

"You start a conversation you can't even finish!
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything!
When I have nothing to say; my lips are sealed!
Say something once? Why say it AGAIN?!?"

It just seems so totally natural to me somehow...

- Dr Strangemonde

Let's see. Here's some ridiculous random ideas:

Witchy Woman
Born To Be Wild
Happy Birthday (either the original version or the Beatles)
What If God Was One Of Us?
Spirit In The Sky
Jump Around
Smoke On The Water
Auld Lange Syne
Crazy
Johnny B. Goode
American Pie
The National Anthem!
God Bless America
Stayin' Alive
Rock The Boat
Trans-Europe Express
Walk Like An Egyptian
Blitzkrieg Bop
The Seinfeld theme song
Candle In The Wind (maybe rewrite into an homage for Booji Boy)
Janie's Got A Gun
Devil Went Down To Georgia (synth contest!)
Rhinestone Cowboy
Convoy
One (Is The Loneliest Number...)
Kung Fu Fighter
Disco Inferno

Any country song
Any disco would be good (since I think they hated disco)
Anything rap related (the one big genre I can think of Devo never
really delved into)
any Beatles song
Any song period, now that I think about it

I'll be back of more whether you want me to be or not...

Oh yeah, I forgot:

"I will always love you", "You light me up" and any obnoxious droning
ballad (put some rhythm into it!)

[Todd Spango]

Dude, I challenge you to think of something that isn't already on this
list.

[Bob Thomas]

Helter Skelter
Wheel In The Sky
Hollaback
Gin N Juice

Well, aince I ended on the note "any song period" it's physically
impossible for me to do that. And for all of you people who posted any
song, period, after my first post, all I have to say to you obnoxiously
is "I already thought of that one!".

It would probably sound a lot like Wall of Voodoo's version (which I
first heard in a porno flick). Hmm, maybe a DEVO 70's style porno
soundtrack would make a good cover disc.

I think a new Devo project should incorporate filmmaking, so you are
really on to something here. Should they do Devo Porno?

It's been done:

See Frederick Wiseman's PRIMATE, specifically the electronic fuckbox
implant sequence.
