Last April, McDonald’s issued a series of American Idol themed Happy Meal toys in the US based on musical genres such as disco, country, soul, and rock. Well, “New Wave Nigel” happens to sport an orange jumpsuit, pink shades, and Devo’s energy dome hat. That signature red flower pot hat is what distinguishes Devo from other post-punk banks, and the band is currently suing the food chain for their indiscretion. Further complicating matters is the fact that the toy plays a song suspiciously like Devo’s music. Hmm… the last time I ate McDonald’s I think it made me sick, so I hope Devo beats McDonald’s in this lawsuit. We can’t really see why they wouldn’t. Whip it… whip it good!
