neil gets a pass...just for being neil. And he collaborated with DEVO, giving him a DOUBLE PASS

I don't think there's any theft here. It's a chord progression that's so beloved and effective it seems like public domain.

Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy is the greatest Devo song of all time. It STILL kills me.
