Trivia[]
- The band is referenced in Chapter VII of Watchmen. After trying on Dan Dreiberg’s night vision goggles in his basement, Laurie Juspeczyk says, “Sure. Devo. Are We Not Men?”. She is either referring to the album title, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, or the lyric from the track “Jocko Homo” where Mark Mothersbaugh shouts the same line.
- The exact title of Watchmen's third episode "She Was Killed by Space Junk" is a line taken from the lyrics of "Space Junk" from the Devo album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, which Laurie Blake is featured listening to in her apartment before Senator Joe Keene arrives.
- Chris Deschaines and Mike Ennis first band, Space Junk, was a Devo and David Bowie cover band named after the former's song of the same name.
