DEV2.0 Is Like Kidz Bop on Crack

January 17, 2006

I still cannot believe this. Legendary electro-punk band DEVO has paired up with Disney to create a CD and DVD of a quintent of kids performing Devo songs like “Whip It” and “Cyclops.” Devo bassist and co-founder Gerry Casale is the director of all of the videos featured in the DEV2.0 DVD.

Yes, that’s right. 10-year-olds singing “Whip It.” There is something slightly wrong with that.

Find all of this too ridiculous to believe? I’m sorry but it’s true and here’s the video to prove it. Notice the hilarious hand blenders that “whip it” throughout the video (Link from Antville.org):

Mark Mothersbaugh April 12, 2006 at 4:17 pm: I’m sorry, I made a huge mistake. This is by far the gayest fucking thing I have EVER done. Even gayer than the time I sucked Richard simmons dick in the back of a pink motor-home covered in rainbow stickers. Yes, this is gayer. To all my fans: I’m sorry.

Holla back September 10, 2006 at 11:02 am: Yo, do any1 of you know where they’r on tour or something?
Ok i have wanted to have my own rock band for VERY LONG, and i cant even play my guitar! I don’t want to learn da key board i know 2 songs to it but its stupid (srry). I could play da drums if i had my own cause drums aret as hard as a guitar (well a guitar is harder because theres lots and LOTS of diferent notes and drums well u get it). I’ll Holla back later.

Rubberface October 18, 2006 at 9:59 am: This is truly disgraceful. But then again, genious.
I will never be able to listen to my old devo-records the same way again.

It’s really funny with a 10 year old girl sings “You got me jerkin’ back and forth” though.
Lillian March 16, 2007 at 10:52 pm: ohhhh my, i think that kids need to learn about real jobs and leave all the celebs to the older people in this world who are more experienced, since so many of these kids are grwing up in the media. take that kid in the pic above pointing; she looks about 12 yrs old. that is just insane non-sence. i feel sorry for this childs parents.
=]alex May 3, 2007 at 6:00 pm: devo 2.0 is wonderful.
of course i’m a natural devo fan,
but seeing kids my age play their wonderful music makes me happy. =]
