I forget the car company, but there is some ad with Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge" in it. Kind of bummed by that.

Wasn't "Beautiful World" in a Target ad a few years ago?

Anyone remembers those Honda Elite scooter commercials from the late 80's that featured Devo, Adam Ant/ Grace Jones and Miles Davis?

Don't be. They were screwed on their inital Warner Bros. contract. Devo only has half-copyright on their first few albums. They re-record all of their commercial music so that they can get 100% of the revenue. Swiff it good!
