Take some
time out for fun with Booji Boy. He'll feel right at home in your house,
at your office, glued to the dashboard of your car, or anywhere!
Booji
Boy, who was conceived in the early 70s, has traits of a simian child
and typically wears a nuclear protection suit. He is portrayed by Mark
Mothersbaugh in a mask and is the son of another fictitious Devo
character, General Boy. The intent of the figure is to satirize
infantile regression in Western culture, a quality Devo enjoyed
elucidating. This character was officially introduced in the 1976 short
film The Truth About De-Evolution.
According to the book We're All Devo!,
the roots of the character come from discovering a baby mask in an
Akron area novelty store. Mothersbaugh developed the character's
distinctive high pitched falsetto almost instantly.
Booji
Boy has been a staple of Devo's visual imagery throughout their career.
He plays a prominent role in the video of their 1981 single "Beautiful
World." He also appeared in the 1982 Neil Young filmHuman Highway in a very comical yet unsettling role predicting the end of the planet. Booji is also pictured on the cover art to Recombo DNA.
