Awesome song that I listened to hundreds of time back in the 80's when they released the NT album. what makes this a great song is that its "DEVO" claiming that they're Through Being Cool.... I mean, do you really think that anyone (even themselves) thought they were cool? Beyond that however the "..rearrange your face, we always liked Picasso anyway.." lines are great. Funny thing about "Not" being cool is that the Mothersbaugh brothers went on to make a heck of a lot more money and acclain than many of their alledged "cool" peers from back in the day. I always thought Devo were a perfect band for the 80's, fun, politically and socially astute, and just plain goofy at times. I understand that they are quie smart, perhaps even Mensa members? should this be the case, I would like them to build a time machine so I could travel back to 1985!

I'm with you - the concept of Devo being 'Through Being Cool' is pretty funny :)
