One Direction Can Only Gain Musical Credibility With A DEV-O Cover

Girl U Want is a fairly obvious, but tame choice for the young heartthrobs. The girls in DEV-O’s clip might give them an audience closer to their own ages. If it’s good enough for Soundgarden to cover, it’s good enough for One Direction.
The smooth tones of Shrivel Up lend themselves to the five lads taking it in turns to sing a couple of lines each.
Maybe they could go for something equally early but harder like Uncontrollable Urge. What young girl wouldn’t scream as Zain thrust his Islamic crotch at the audience, singing: “Got an urge, got a surge and it’s out of control now!”
… or the five of them jerking about the stage to the opening guitar riffs of Mongoloid or the more mechanical Blockhead.
Harry Styles singing:
would certainly give all those 10 year old girls something to ponder.
The other four could jump in:
Common stock … we work around the clock …
We shove the poles in the holes!
Duty now for the future, One Direction!
