Completely different context though. Think of it this way, if you removed 'The Devil' from either The Devil and I, or Me and The Devil, would it make sense to be left with 'I', or 'me'? The answer is me, not I. In this context it's 'him and me'. not 'he and I' which is the way you use I normally. That's why it works when there's an addition to the sentence, such as your example, because they're the subject: (The Devil [him] and I went to the park), but when it's solitary the The Devil and Gil Scott are objects, so you use me.
