About 50 years ago, Joe Meek wrote a hit about the satellite.

Those were the days of wonder.

People do not care about technology anymore.

Did anybody create a song about the iphone or bluetooth or DNA sequencing

et cetera?

....Jens beat me to the punch with his OMD - Orgasmal Misfirings from Dorks, IIRC - cites, but *all* of you have forgotten that about 80% of DEVO's catalogs of Hits and Misses over the past four decades and some change since Kent State have been about technology and/or DNA in some way, shape, form and/or satire. Forty years later, the Spuds are still trying to remind people how real deevolution is - just look at ~CT and bbo hallr if you're still not convinced, kids - and appear to be continuing to Stick the Poles in the Holes where applicable despite the departures/recyclings of both Bob 1 and Alan in just the past year or so.

Oh, and Jens? If you're into stuff like OMD, how the *frack* could you have forgotten something like Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science"? Jeez, that was one of Saint Flannery's favorite songs, ferchrissakes!!!!
