1. Supposedly they're working on new material.
Which I'm all for, as they can do no wrong in my eyes (or ears).

2. They always are. There is no "off" position on the GENIUS switch.

One of my favorite DEVO tunes of all time is their
cover version of NIN's "Head Like A Hole"

It's not just that they did the song BETTER than that
one-note-wonder Trent Reznor who did it first, they did
it better years after they no longer officially EXISTED.

I have it on my CD player in the kitchen- first track is
Murray Head's "One Night In Bangkok" with the full intro
by the London Symphony Orchestra, then DEVO's "Head Like A Hole"...

Track 3 is Motorhead's "Ace of Spades"; by the time I'm
into track 3, my skillets are hot and I'm working hard with a big knife!

3. No doubt.
Mothersbaugh has always kept himself busy.

I remember watching the Jackie Chan movie Supercop, and sure enough, the title song at the end was him...and the song is awesome.

When I was younger Girl U Want was THE song I had to play when I DJed. It was my opening song almost all the time.

4. Ah, this is the song...
...that was in one of Weird Al's polkas from the '80s!

I always like figuring those out.
