Devo, “Working in a Coal Mine”
I can almost guarantee you that no member of DEVO ever slaved away in a coalmine. But that certainly didn’t stop them from covering Lee Dorsey’s 1966 hit “Working in a Coal Mine.” It’s quite a departure from the original soul number, but DEVO ushered the hit into the 1980s with a finesse that only men who wear Energy Dome hats can pull off.
