We've got an Uncontrollable Urge to de-evolve this week with DEVO, the satirical concept band from Akron, Ohio! Their 1978 debut Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are DEVO! is full of social commentary, wacky lyrics, and disorienting music inspired by classic films, anti-evolution propaganda, and even NORAD. We'll talk about the tragedy that inspired the band, the origin of Booji Boy, and the shocking success of Whip It! The Mixtaper is putting his right hand to work with facts about DEV2.0, and Seamus the roof-racked dog! If you're gettin' Sloppy, don't Shrivel-Up! Learn the truth about de-evolution in this one-of-a-kind episode about a one-of-a-kind band of Jocko Homos!
