Devo (/ˈdiːvoʊ/, originally /diːˈvoʊ/) is an American rock band formed in 1972, consisting of members from Kent and Akron, Ohio. The classic line-up of the band included two sets of brothers, the Mothersbaughs (Mark and Bob) and the Casales (Gerald and Bob), along with Alan Myers. The band had a No. 14 Billboard chart hit in 1980 with the single "Whip It", and has maintained a cult following throughout its existence.
Devo's style, over time, has shifted between punk rock, art rock, post-punk and new wave. Their music and stage show mingle kitsch science fiction themes, deadpan surrealist humor, and mordantly satirical social commentary. Their often discordant pop songs feature unusual synthetic instrumentation and time signatures that have proven influential on subsequent popular music, particularly new wave, industrial and alternative rock artists. Devo was also a pioneer of the music video, creating many memorable clips for the LaserDisc format, with "Whip It" getting heavy airplay in the early days of MTV.
Devo may refer to:
Devo 2.0 (also known as DEV2.O) was a quintet, created for Walt Disney Records (with the participation of Devo), of child actors who sing, dance, and (in their music videos and photo shoots) mime playing instruments along to songs re-recorded by some of the original members of Devo. Jerry Casale directed all nine of the videos. Actress Jacqueline Emerson, who later appeared in The Hunger Games, was a member. The band split up in 2007 when lead singer Nicole Stoehr and lead guitarist Nathan Norman quit.
While the music on the album was written and recorded by DEVO and merely dubbed in over footage in which the four dancing children appear to be performing, some of the members are musicians. Devo 2.0 band member Nathan Norman states they do play their own instruments with mild help from sequencers.Mark Mothersbaugh said that the band re-recorded their own music due to budgetary restraints.
An eponymous DVD and CD combo was released March 14, 2006. Two new songs, "Cyclops" and "The Winner", were written by Devo for the album. In the summer of 2006 the band began a limited series of live performances, and also contributed a track, "Monkey's Uncle", to a compilation of re-recorded Disney songs called Disneymania 4.

Body sops and parking lots
No time to stop
It's another normal day
Self esteem and Windowlene
You're squeaky clean
There's nothing left to say
Brillo pads and paper ads
That really have no meaning for me
But are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide TV
Contra deals and killing fields
you grease the wheels
But is it all it seems
Hunger strike and prices hike
eat all you like
Well you know what I mean
Spinning tales and share price sales
Are bound to fail the things we believe
Ah !, but are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide TV
No one can tell you
That there's nowhere left to go
No one can sell you things
That you don't want to own
Hungry tramps and welfare stamps
I'll take a chance, that's not all you see
But are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide TV
Down the spout you close your mouth
It's not about the things you can see
In all of the things
That keep happening on a worldwide TV
There's no reason to be laughing now
and there's no way to turn back the time
It's sad to see the ceremonies
For this dying state of mind
There's nowhere left to go
Nobody's trying to tell you about something
That you don't already know
Hesitate but if you wait
You'll be too late
And miss the first scene
Are these the only things
Happening on a worldwide TV
Are these the only things
