This song is a reference to the johnny-come-lately fans of devo they acquired after “whip it” was a massive hit, in true devo fashion they are going to seperate the fake devo fans from those that have always stuck by them, fake devo fans being referenced as “ninnies and twits” and that the real fans (Referenced as being “young alien types”) “Who step out and dare to declare” their love for devo as opposed to pretending to have always liked them.
