Trivia / Info:[]
- DEVO Live 1980 records the "Booji Boy's Funeral" music's use as a tour film soundtrack, and then as the backing track for Booji Boy's live performance of "Tunnel Of Life."
- BBF preceded Booji Boy's live performance of "U Got Me Bugged" on the HARD CORE TOUR 2014.
- "Booji Boy's Funeral" is the soundtrack for the second half of the 1980 interstitial tour film, and begins as Booji is taken to the hospital. This music fades into the film's soundtrack from the instrumental titled "Booji's Industrial Death."
- The next scene is Booji Boy’s un-bandaging at the hospital, still backed by the instrumental soundtrack "Booji Boy's Funeral"/“Tunnel of Life.”
- The music continues, and after about one minute and ten seconds, Booji appears with his head damaged but healing, and sings his “Tunnel of Life” lyrics.
