It's a beautiful world and a beautiful dream.

Of course DEVO knew exactly what the song was about. They knew as far back as 1970.

[@fbomb420]

The collaboration I didn't know I needed!

[@coreymclernon]

Hidden treasures!

[@scottdion3186]

Seems about right. Accurately captures the zeitgeist!

Incredible

[@heartglooms]

Funny, I thought this sounded very familiar. He put this song on his later album "Grown Backwards", same title and everything. Just without the DEVO bits. music.th-cam.com/video/528ADTcJa7Q/w-d-xo.html&si=9t86VQIUzWnwCMDg

Capitalism wasn’t late stage enough 27 years ago. It is now.

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

Glad i caught it early so i don't have to listen to it again That was painful, sorry.

[@therealvbw]

Song is mid enough to suit the slightly cringe political connection.
