Rockin' Funnies: Dare to be Stupid (1985)

"Weird" Al Yankovic, pop music's most prolific song satirist, came up with the perfect song to celebrate April Fool's Day (which is next week).

"Dare to be Stupid" is the title tune from Yankovic's 1985 album, and gave the Cootie toys more exposure than they'd had in years before or since. Oh, yeah, the parade of Mr. Potato Heads at the end of the clip is pretty cool, too, years before "Toy Story" restored the product to cultural icon status.

Al & the band are parodying Devo here, specifically with the yellow outfits that Mark Mothersbaugh and his boys wore in a video for their cover of the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".

Edit: I had to change the video, since Yankovic has the video on his personal YouTube channel, and is virtually privatizing it to avoid shady types pirating the video for less than charitable reasons. In its place is a live version, with the band wearing the Devo-esque costumes.
