Devo Two Point Zero

This novelty finds Devo rerecording twelve of their songs with a group of fresh-faced kids handling the vocals. On bright, buzzy cuts like "Whip It" and "Jerkin Back N Forth," the dissonance between the twitchy neuroses of the original songs and these earnest interpretations is mildly funny, but more than anything, 2.0 just feels pointless.

    “Oh Sherrie”

    Steve Perry | 1984

    Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
