Devo are set to release a track later this month entitled "Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Remember Seamus)." It is inspired by Mitt Romney's notorious road trip from Massachusetts to Ontario, during which he transported the family dog, Seamus, in a kennel strapped to the roof of his station wagon.
According to the Orchard, the distributor behind the track, the digital single will be released on August 25th.
The track also comes as Devo's founder and commercial director, Gerald V. Casale, kicks off his Remember Seamus campaign, which is supposed to help "make 2012 the year where animals like Seamus are valued and honesty is praised."
Devo is also helping to back Dogs Against Romney, with Casale designing a special edition shirt for the group. Casale is also involved in an upcoming smartphone game called "The Crate Escape: Seamus Unleashed," which sees release on August 26th, otherwise known as National Dog Day.
You know I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe Devo's founder, Gerald V. Casale, was REALLY offended by this story of Seamus the dog. Don'tcha think?
Personally I think it is a great idea and I hope he sells a million copies. I think everybody should know that this man who says he wants to reach out an help the American people, could NOT even take care of his own dog properly.
Gee how many dog lovers do we have in this country? And how many of them are going to want to vote for Mitt Romney after learning the story of "Seamus the roof rack riding dog?"
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
I understand that Mitt Romney was reached for comment, and said "Just how long are you people going to hold this dog thing over my head?"
Update: Here is the song now on YouTube.
