Keywords: DEVO and Dare to be Different

There is no such DEVO song as "Dare to be Different".  You MAY be thinking of
the song "Freedom of Choice", the video of which does bear some slight
similarities to Al's "Dare to be Stupid".  However, DTBS also contains
numerous references to other DEVO videos, including "Whip It" and the DEVO
Corporate Anthem (when they stick the ice cream cones to their foreheads).

Basically, I'd say that DTBS is a very nicely handled spoof of just about
every video DEVO ever made.  It's purely Weird Al's handiwork, though.
