So, my son is watching the 20th anniversary edition of the Transformers Movie (the 1986 animated one) on DVD. I'm not paying attention but in one scene the music grabs me and I look up from my newspaper. What is this song? It sounds like Devo, but surely it can't be.
It took me more than a few minutes before it came back to me...Weird Al's Devo parody "Dare to Be Stupid". Duh!

From wikipedia (if you can trust it as a source): Shortly after the song was released, Yankovic received a letter from Mark Mothersbaugh congratulating him on writing "the perfect Devo song".
