Pearls Before Swine

By -

Below is a video from Regis and Kelly featuring – of all things – a performance by my beloved Devo. This would be like Beck showing up on the Lawrence Welk show.

Regis is there, joined not by Kelly but by someone named Joy, who I guess is someone's mom in the audience. At least that's what I'm assuming, judging by her behavior.

At 3:18, once "Fresh" is done, the stupid questions begin:

"Where did the name come from? Devo?"
"Remember the old energy hats?"
"Remember that big hit? Whip It?"

It reminds me of the Chris Farley "bad interviewer" routine when he would ask all kinds of simple-minded questions of his guests (to Paul McCartney: "Remember when you were with the Beatles?") Sheesh!
