We are all Villa Villains, are we not ? UTV

Are we not men?

I'll bite: we are Devo.

I have gut feeling that people will now have an uncontrollable urge to start making bad puns

It'll always be Villans for me. Although some of the old badges I've got spell it Villa'ns.

Anyone know how the earliest reference to our nickname was spelt?

Talking of badges, here's one of my favourite sites - one for the nerds

Memory at such a distance is unreliable, at least in my case, but I seem to remember that when they re-launched him in the late 60s he was spelled "The Villa Villa'un" which struck me at the time, and now frankly, as crap.

It was about the time Beau Brummie slinked from the dog pound.

What sort of Jocko Homo would make Devo puns?

Sorry Leeg, a copy is the best I can do.

The album is on spotify as well, although i'm sure probably most with spotify would have searched 'Villa' anyway
