Interesting, I don't see a problem though. The record companies have been doing things like this forever. I remember owning a Sesame Street album back in the early 70's that had some Beatles and Beach Boys songs on it.
Thinking about it, I would rather have kids singing than fucking Bert and Ernie singing Yesterday, Da Do Ron Ron and Surfin USA. But when I was 5-6 years old it was cool to hear them sing.
And what about the Chipmunks and the Muppets and so on.
I look at it as a way to expand the music to other audiences, who may not have ever heard of the original group. I have a feeling if this takes off, you'll see Devo selling a lot of albums, maybe getting airplay and touring in a big way again.
I don't hate Disney for this, in fact I think it's great someone actually thinks highly enough of Devo to put their music out in a way that may sell to a new market. I wish someone would do it for the KINKS.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
