We explore the comedy history behind the band DEVO - one of the funniest music groups of all time.

DEVO  first described their music as bombs dropping mixed with Alka Seltzer  jingles and the overall mood of the band as a combination of Fritz  Lang's Metropolis and Ronald McDonald.

Find out about such  carnations as Boogi Boy (Mothersbaugh's alter-ego), the red energy dome  hats, and where they came up with the idea for the yellow jumpsuits.
