When I was in college, in the cafe in in the student union, there was a jukebox with the song “Mongoloid” on it by Devo - it was played constantly, seemed like every time I went past or was in there, that song would be playing:

“He was a Mongoloid, Mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid, he was a Mongoloid
Nobody even cared.”

I can still hear it to this day...

My daughter, who has long been interested in the music I like, told a friend of hers about “Mongoloid”. He listened to it, liked it, and it is now his cell phone ring tone. He has Downs Syndrome, but is highly functioning. He gets the irony, and he wears a hat and has a job and “brings home the bacon”.
