Devo is set to release a new single called 'Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Remember Seamus)' on August 25th through digital distributer The Orchard. While the title may not sound politically charged, the song is about Mitt Romney's 1983 road trip in which he strapped his dog to the roof of his car and drove from Massachusetts to Ontario. Do you like it when musicians get political or does it distract from their music?

SLICINGUPEYEBALLS.COM reports:
Devo is about to dip its collective toes into this year’s presidential race as the quirky New Wave survivors later this month will release a song called “Don’t Roof Rack, Me Bro! (Remember Seamus)”

The Whip it People? I guess they need to point out something that happened in 1983 When Devo was actually Relevant.

Yes, I checked before I typed it bc I remember the video (pop-up video) but was afraid I was confusing it in my old age with the Stones...Yep, they did a version of the Stone's song in a techno-style.

Don't really care. But, I'm not against it.
One of the guys in DEVO is part of the 'Dogs Against Romney' organization.

And yes, thats a real thing:

They put out a bunch of merchandise, coffee cups, shirts, doggie shirts, bags with various 'Dogs Against Romney' images on them.

Musicians should never "pick a side" politically in songs - I don't care which "side" of the isle they're on. Usually when I find out - I'm disappointed and distracted from the rest of their work.

This gives Mittens an opportunity to draw a distinction between his roof racked dog and Obama's spit roasted dog.

Which pooch would you rather be?

It's mm mm good ;)
