    One of the funniest "muzak" versions of any Devo song is found on an album
that, in general, is one of the funniest -- the Rhino Records release of
"Big Daddy".  This wacko California band takes reasonably recent tunes, and
re-arranges them in fifties stylings.  Among the variations on their album,
you'll find:
    "Ebony & Ivory" as Little Richard might have done it
    The 'Star Wars' theme as a Ventures instrumental
    "Whip It" in a truly mellow, whistling version
    Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs" in street-corner acapella form
    "Hotel California" in the Pachuco-rock style of ? & the Mysterians
    and seven others....
Well worth checking out.
