Devo to release ‘Don’t Roof Rack Me, Bro!’ — song about Mitt Romney’s dog Seamus

[tuvor]

Devo is about to dip its collective toes into this year’s presidential race as the quirky New Wave survivors later this month will release a song called “Don’t Roof Rack, Me Bro! (Remember Seamus)” — a track about Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s infamous 1983 road trip in which he transported the family dog from Massachusetts to Ontario in a kennel strapped to the roof of the family station wagon.

According to distributor The Orchard, the digital single will be released Aug. 25, featuring the cover art shown at left. The song comes as Devo founder and commercial director Gerald V. Casale launches the Remember Seamus campaign, which is designed to help “make 2012 the year where animals like Seamus are valued and honesty is praised.” The band also is backing Dogs Against Romney.

Casale also appears to be involved in “The Crate Escape: Seamus Unleashed,” a new mobile app/game for smartphones that, according to its Facebook page, “lets Seamus get revenge against his arch enemy Mitt Romney” and which is set for release on Aug. 26 — National Dog Day.

3. Oh Great...

Then we're all gonna have to hear about how President Obama EATS dogs, in response... We should just leave the 'dog tales' out of this, imo...

We don't need any of that crap to defeat Romney / Ryan... We just need common sense and the truth about how radical this country would be changed should they win, to be exposed!!
