I wonder how many times Mark Mothersbaugh has had his nose rubbed in his abject ignorance of his statement that the flagship line "Are we not men" from his band Devo's song "Jocko Homo" comes, as he describes it:
directly from the very first Island Of Lost Souls (1933)
Fair enough, Mark. Rex has no problems with that, but how about this later statement:
There were like, watered down, wussy versions of it in the later Islands Of Dr. Moreau
Life imitating art? Mark, are you devolving? For the uninitiated, "Island of Lost Souls" is a 1932 adaptation of the 1892 H.G. Wells novel "The Island of Doctor Moreau." from which the line "Are we not men" originally featured. It was not, a "later" version or versions. It was the original.
But, still, Jocko Homo is a cool song, and here it is (although this isn't the uber-cool version - it's a live concert version...kinda sucky, in Rex's opinion):
(but, Mark, if you'd like us to run a better version, then just send an autographed copy to Rex)
