Sorry if this is a repost...

I just got a copy of Weird Al's new album.  There is a song on it called
"Dare to be Stupid" which sounds a lot like a DEVO tune called "Dare to be
Different".

On all of the other cover tunes on this album, they give credit to the author's
of the original music, and list the copyright info, along with giving Al
billing for the new lyrics.  On this tune the credits look just like the tunes
on the album that are original compositions.

Did someone screw up at the printers?  Am I mistaken in making a connection
between the two songs?  Is Al secretly writing for DEVO?  Should I stop this
article now?
