Do vaguely remember the killer apes bit.<br /><br />I've always liked to interpret "Mongoloid," esp. the line you quoted, as a stirring condemnation of workers & the work they do as being irredeemably moronic, if not idiotic.<br /><br />Substance's vinyl (had the cassette myself) reminds me of the interior parts of Western Electric 'phones, which must have been made from recycled 'phone plastic, w/ all the colors of Western Electric's limited palette swirled around.<br /><br />*I suppose you think she's Donna "Summers."M.

(thank goodness they only eat the brains of other apes cause if they were to start chasing us, I'd SO trip you. :) )<br /><br />I liked the songs and am happy to now know the names of a few more. I was appallingly ignorant of all things DEVO but, not anymore thanks to you! <br />Gut Feeling was probably my favourite out of the videos you posted. <br /><br />Can't wait for Part Deux! These guys were awesomely weird and I like weird. :)<br /><br />((Hugs))<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206086996758491041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-38867544821985800962011-09-26T20:50:47.696-04:002011-09-26T20:50:47.696-04:00They were great.

Mongoloid was on the setlist, until the stage manager said "hey guys, do you think this is an appropriate song in this setting?"zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.com
