This is Weird Al's greatest style parody imho. It's brilliant how he makes Devo's basic concept of devolution -- which presupposes a reduced intellect as one of the principal effects -- and turns it into an anthem calling on his listeners to be brave enough to embrace stupidity as a life goal! Now that's pure comedic genius. Thank you, Al!
