Big Mess Lyrics

Cover art for Big Mess lyrics by Devo

This song is actually based on strange letters received by a friend of someone from Devo. The letters by someone who called them self "Cowboy Kim" and talked about their radio show that was on until 1 am. You should read the letters online they are really weird.

That is correct - It's about a guy who called himself Cowboy Kim and wrote bizzare letters to the bad. If you look at the actual letters they look and read like they were written by a 7 year old.

An Except: "I am a lucky Cowboy. I am Mr. reality (...) I am the busy celebrity cowboy. I am 26 yrs. old. I am a cowboy diskjockey."

Weird stuff.
