Shortly after the song was released, Yankovic received a letter from Mark Mothersbaugh congratulating him on writing "the perfect Devo song". He has also said that it was "beautiful... and I hate him for it, basically."

lol, I was going to be a smartass and post "Dare to be Stupid" before I even clicked on the thread.  One of Al's best songs.  Mothersbaugh was pissed off that he was able to perfectly capture Devo's sound and make a song better than him, apparently.

It's pretty damn awesome, but as far as sounding like the band he's parodying, White and Nerdy comes really close to this one. Chamillionaire put Al's version on his MySpace page and people confused it for the real thing at first.

I'd have to say Mongoloid.  It's a pretty catchy tune.  Let us not forget that Brian Eno produced their first album, back in his prime, so the whole thing kills, front to back.

(non-Eno, original version)

Their second album was pretty great, too.  By their third they were kinda taking themselves too seriously.

I was planning on saying this until I actually opened the thread.

...except this isn't a parody, it's an original song in the style of Devo.

I'm pretty sure the only Devo song I know is Whip It.

I always thought Amish Paradise was pretty awesome, myself.

Dare to be Stupid is OK, but it's not as good as, say, Big Mess or Mongoloid.
