It doesn’t include “First World Problems,” which was very much a sort of song The Pixies would have written in terms of the music style.

    Thanks, I’ll peruse this. Dare To Be Stupid is my favorite song by both him and one of top Devo songs.

      I believe Mark Mothersbaugh called it “more Devo than Devo.”

        He’s so good at that. I know Presidents started replacing the final line of Lump with that of Gump, I wouldn’t be surprised if other bands do similar things. Of course that’s a parody, not a pastiche, but still.

          Don McLean has definitely substituted the chorus from The Saga Begins when he’s doing live shows

            That song is so good that it makes me want to watch that movie again, which is quite the feat.

          Mark Knopfler only allowed him to parody Money for Nothing if Knopfler himself played the guitar solo on the recording. So it’s a very odd case of a parody song with the guy who wrote and performed the original song playing on the track.

          Also, Greg Kihn is in the I Lost on Jeopardy video.
