We are Devo D.E.V.O. The band is Devo,they were famous for wearing flower pot hats and they're most popular song was Crack that whip.
#2: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Apr 22, 2011 [SPOILER]
This could also be Men in Hats (of Safety Dance fame)

Dang, those guys are Men Without Hats :P
#3: Liz P (lizteach) on Apr 22, 2011 [SPOILER]
I knew who it was from the title, but I grinned when I saw the pointy hats. :D
#4: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 22, 2011 [SPOILER]
How curious that you would say that Kristen.
#5: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 22, 2011 [SPOILER]
Liz,I wonder how many people know this band.
#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Apr 22, 2011 [SPOILER]
Anyone who watched Mtv in the 80s knows Devo. :)
#7: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 22, 2011
True enough Kristen

De-evolution

acording to the title and the 4 "people" in the image it could have been answered as "no! we are the monkees!" which would also work
#10: Jane Doe (telly) on Apr 22, 2011
I've heard of them, but don't know their music.
#11: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Apr 22, 2011
From the title, I was expecting Bare Naked Ladies and was wondering how you would portray *that*. Jane, you have to be much too old for MTV to know who the Monkees were.
#12: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Apr 23, 2011
yeah yeah, we're the monkeys, we keep on monkeying around
#13: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 23, 2011

#14: Cynthia Lynn McDaniel (mcaardva) on Apr 23, 2011 [SPOILER]
"We are not men. We are DEVO!" How many besides me still has their ALBUM!?
#15: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Apr 23, 2011

#16: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 24, 2011
It was a joke bugaboo,which is why i put lol at the end.
#17: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Apr 24, 2011 [SPOILER]

#19: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 24, 2011
Yeah i think so Brian,but i'm trying to do as many b&w's as i can cause people seem to like them better.
#20: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Apr 24, 2011
People do seem to prefer the monochrome. But, I've said it before...I make the type of puzzles I like to solve and I like color.
#21: Liz P (lizteach) on Apr 24, 2011 [SPOILER]
Whip it good!

Did you know that one of the band's founders, Mark Mothersbaugh, is a prolific TV/movie composer? He's done a lot of music for kids' movies and shows, including Pee-Wee's Playhouse, the Pee-Wee movies, and Rugrats.
#22: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 24, 2011
I like both Brian.
#23: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Apr 24, 2011
I didn't know that. Just another cool thing about these puzzles,you tend to learn something. Thx for sharing that Liz.
#24: Jota (jota) on May 2, 2011
I love the link Brian, now I understand the puzzle. Sorry Aldege, I didn't know them.
#25: Kadou (Kadou) on May 4, 2011 [SPOILER]
DEVO has 5 members!
#26: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jan 22, 2018
OK
#27: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jun 27, 2020 [SPOILER]
I *so* thought those were going to turn out to be Lego minifigs!

Re John's comment in #11: I watched the Monkees TV show when I was a little kid, and MTV in my late teens, so I think it is possible to know of both. For whatever that's worth!
