Devo is suing McDonalds over a Happy Meal “New Wave Nigel” toy that sports the bands signature red flower pot hat also known as ‘energy dome’ hat

The band also allege that the toy plays a Devo-esque song.

“We are in the midst of suing them,” Casale told AAP.

“This New Wave Nigel doll that they’ve created is just a complete Devo rip-off and the red hat is exactly the red hat that I designed, and it’s copyrighted and trademarked.”

“They didn’t ask us anything. Plus, we don’t like McDonald’s, and we don’t like American Idol, so we’re doubly offended.”
