Is it blasphemous to say that Devo's best song ever is actually "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid"?

Well...it may not be Devo's best, but it's definitely Weird Al's best. Fondly do I remember the day that the Dare to be Stupid album came out when I was in fifth grade. I bought it immediately--on vinyl--and did nothing but play the title-track nonstop for eight months. Everyone on earth, even my mother, knew right then and there is was the true Pegritz Theme Song. It later became the Werewolves of Uniontown Unofficial Theme Song as well because...well, that's what we did. We didn't dare to be stupid, actually--we just WERE stupid!

Just remember: Mashed potatos can be your friends.

I must concur wholeheartedly. Devo's best song is most definitely "Dare to be Stupid" channeled via Weird Al. Even what, 20 years later (I believe the album came out in 85), not one cultural reference is lost. Even my youngest brother thinks so.

Ok, I can hear you now!

Sorry to pop in all uninvited, but even Devo says "Dare to be Stupid" is the best Devo song. Some VH1 Weird Al special. Thought you'd like to know.

the best lyrics ever:

You better squeeze all the charmin you can
When Mr. Whipple's not around
Stick your head in the microwave and give yourself a tan
