Music Ironicness: Devo - Whip It

The musically ironic things that happen to me so often, are always such a coincidence. But this one is especially strange.

I was reading online a joke that included the famous "step on a crack, break your mother's back" phrase. A short time later, I was watching Full House rerun. It was the one where Uncle Jesse was opening the Smash Club and Joey said that he booked REM, a famous 90s band. It turns out REM also is the name of 3 old ladies, who are also triplets. They end up playing the song "Whip It" by Devo. And in that song, part of the lyrics are...you guessed..."step on a crack, break your mama's back"!

Here is the original song.



And here is the clip from Full House:
