The Tweet-Devo Connection?

Right, am I just high on exhaust fumes, or is the main hook in Tweet's "Oops (Oh My)" just a mangled and manipulated sample of the guitar riff from Devo's "Girluwant"? Seriously, listen -- think about it -- and discuss.

Then you're not listening hard enough. -- That's Bob "Bob 1" Mothersbaugh's guitar sampled, and I'd swear to it.

It actually sounds pretty close. Thanks dude, now I won't be able to enjoy Tweet without imagining her in a Devo outfit with Missy and Tim doing funny Whip It-video-style things in the back.

I like the video the way it is, with Missy all hologrammatic and the ice cavern. Devo-ing it up would make too big a deal out of Timbaland's "weirdness"-factor and ruin everything--look at what happened to Outkast.
