* Mongoloid was used in a video (film short) made by experimental filmmaker Bruce Conner which was assembled from found footage. This film technique would later be used by DEVO for their video for Beautiful World. Connor combined 1950s television advertisements, science fiction film clips (Including a scene from It Came From Outer Space!), and scientific documentaries with abstract animation and original film work.
* Toni Basil facilitated the collaboration of Conner and Devo - she knew them both.
* DEVO marketed the 1978 film short as "A documentary film exploring the manner in which a determined young man overcame a basic mental defect and became a useful member of society. Insightful editing techniques reveal the dreams, ideals and problems that face a large segment of the American male population. Educational. Background music written and performed by the DEVO orchestra." Mongoloid appears as a bonus feature on The Complete Truth About Devolution DVD.
* The controversial title of Mongoloid got DEVO in trouble, despite its positive lyrics, first at a concert in 1975, playing in support of John Waters's "Pink Flamingos" film. The shows sponsors had a child with Downs Syndrome, and were offended. Jerry, the songwriter, said that the song is 'making fun of "normal" people who do make fun of Mongoloids'.
* During performances from 1975 to 1982, Mark, having little to do during the song, often would jump around on stage while Bob 1 and Jerry sang, pausing by the front of the stage to engage the audience by raising his arms.
* From 1996 on, Mark no longer jumped around, but would often stay by his keyboards, and show impatience, checking a watch, and pretending to smoke a cigarette. He still would engage the audience as well, now shaking pom-poms like a cheerleader. mongoloid he was a mongoloid happier than you and me mongoloid he was a mongoloid and it determined what he could see mongoloid he was a mongoloid one chromosome too many mongoloid he was a mongoloid and it determined what he could see and he wore a hat and he had a job and he brought home the bacon so that no one knew mongoloid he was a mongoloid his friends were unaware mongoloid he was a mongoloid nobody even cared
