Yes. A dwarf among Devo videos, but, when measured against the video products of recent 'artists', a COLOSSUS!
Which reminds me of the art exhibit curated by a friend of mine in Los Angeles, featuring the paintings of one of Devo's founding members. She was disappointed at the tame, Norman Rockwell-esque paintings of suburban Americana, until she was closing the exhibit on the first night. After everyone left, she checked the bathrooms, turned off the gallery lights, and was delighted to see the artist had embellished all the paintings with invisible, 'glow in the dark' devil horns, boobs, giant penises, and little clouds of glowing fart gas coming from their butts. Ever since that momentous evening, all Devo videos have been granted a minimum of 5 stars. Minimum.
