Huboon Stomp Lyrics

Well, I'm a huboon baby
I'm a cross between a human and an ape
I'm all decked out
I'm gonna hoot, I'm gonna root, I'm gonna rape

people look at me and laugh and make fun of my face
I laugh right back
I don't want to be part of the human race
I did it to myself
now somebody's gonna be sorry

Well, I'm a huboon baby
gonna mess around with all you fools
I'm all pumped up, gonna romp, bone and stomp
I'm gonna rule

I had the operation
nothing else left to do
well lookit here, I've been hurt
gonna hurt you

Now, somebody's gonna be sorry
like all you wankers and you slime
and you right-wing pinheads
who make screwing a big crime
you titty-twisted up my life
and pissed on all my dreams
you made me hate myself
now come on shoot me
set me free

I did it to myself
now somebody's gonna be sorry

Well, I'm a huboon baby
I'll grow up to be the president
I'm upside-in, I'm really tweaked
I'm really freaked, I'm really bent
Big town mommas better hurry
hide your little girls
I'll jump their bones
I'll sniff 'em out 'round the world

Cover art for Huboon Stomp lyrics by Devo

The "Huboon" is a non-natural mutation of a human, a painful surgical procedure meant to deal with some sort of biological defect(?), that ends in the individual's something-something being cured, but left scarred, looking like a monkey. Visual representations are shown in Booji Boy's "My Struggle" book, and the "Secret Agent Man" video, as the spankers of another DEVO character, "Bawl-Baby". The word is a combination of human and baboon.

Not much to comment on the song's lyrics itself, it seems to be a rouge huboon going postal because of the mental and maybe even physical torment done to him by society. His surgery left him, as mentioned before, scarred, looking ape-like, and it seems everyone thinks this is the funniest shit ever (pretty realistic), and laugh at him and his un-human looking features.

He's done with it all! He's gone disney-villain mode, but more 90s-disney-villian mode, as he's taking it upon himself to rape and hurt the people who did him so wrong before.

Not an admiral revenge, but revenge nonetheless. He did it to himself! And somebody's gonna be real, REAL sorry. It all seems to be a sort of satiric commentary of these anti-hero characteristics we see in movies like "Falling Down", where someone is pushed beyond their mental limits, and snaps, resulting in a murderous rampage. The "I did it to myself! Now somebody's gonna be sorry..." line seems to indicate that DEVO is laughing at these type of people, who seem to take the only slightly lower-hand they've been given in society that they might have even inflicted on themselves, and think it's a perfectly good reason to go apeshit (ha) on people who probably have been given a similar hand, and are simply following the sheep, laughing along with the other people, even if they don't find it funny, just to seem more normal and similar to the others.

No one's in the right here, but someone's for-sure more in the wrong.

TLDR; mr huboon baby goes batshit crazy on the people who did him wrong. again, no one's in the right, but someone (mr huboon baby) is way more in the wrong for the way he's reacting.

anyway, gonna acknowledge rn, that I probably might've got alot wrong here, so feel free to correct on what you see is wrong, just incase.
