7. 'Dare To Be Stupid'

The two nerdiest musical acts in history may well be Devo and Weird Al Yankovic, so the combination of the two is almost unimaginable. In 1986 Yankovic released "Dare To Be Stupid." It's not a parody of any specific Devo song, but rather a style parody that encapsulates their sound. The video also recreates some of their most iconic looks. The whole song is a long stream of stupid advice that goes against conventional wisdom: "You better put all your eggs in one basket/You better count your chickens before they hatch/You better sell some wine before it's time."
