[pyrom100]

Wait... this was on Dave? *Rushes to check TV*

[pianoman930]

"...the potential tall ones..." awesome.

[SuperSithis]

I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little known friend, but really I'm not actually your friend, but I am. WHAT THE HELL IS HE SINGING? Out of all the music genres, indie is the worst. They want to play rock, but not anything too heavy that would make them underground, yet they don't want to be mainstream either, and by god, don't let anyone hear you say its pop (which really it is).

[pogogo51]

@SuperSithis Except that it isn't about categories, it's about playing what you want for the sake of playing.

[SuperSithis]

@pogogo51 Its about creating mainstream music that makes people feel that it is a little known band, and exclusive

[pogogo51]

@SuperSithis Even if it were, you have to admit, these guys are damn good

[GHarrisonFan]

@SuperSithis I legitimately don't think that TMBG counts as pop.

[duracellaltoids]

Bless the poor primitive crowd, they don't quite know how to react to real music lol

[LuNaXxIeNoX]

this band was the fist i ever heard and i love them even now :3 if it wasnt for they might be giants my parents never wouldve met. i love this band to death!

[Possecore]

[vilecompulsions]

[Emgie63]

[terryhurley1]

GREAT VERSION

[Rossypossy131277]

Bonkers, but i love it:):)

[CrimpityCrimpity]

i prefer the pushing daisies one =\

this is an odd beat =S

[Innergoth333]

This is the ORIGINAL!

Nothing EVER is better than the originals.

[wackywankavator]

@Innergoth333

You're absolutely correct. But "Songs to Wear Pants to" does a nice classy jazzy version that comes a close second.

[wilkester]

Best song EVER!!!!!

[mywishisfantasy]

The first time I heard this song I was in the 7th grade. My teacher Mr. Ward had a printout of the lyrics on everyones desk and he played the song and said "Who can tell me what this song is about?" Everyone took a good guess but didn't get it right. I raised my hand and said "It's about a night light." And he said that I was correct. And everyone in the class hated me from that day forward because I was too smart. =]

[chainslap]

You're not smart. You and that teacher are both retarded.

[TheDmeister644]

so... is he my friend?

[PhyscoZombieChickie]

yes:]

[ThisMightBeAndy09]

but not actually your friend?

[phopojijo]

@TheDmeister644 He's your friend while you sleep as a child -- watching over you.

Hmm, night lights really are creepier than we let them on to be.

[MortifiedThePenguin]

@TheDmeister644 positive to negative corrolation would indicate that he is.

[pirpintine]

<3 i love theeeem

[PinkXxKiss]

I knew there was a reason I loved Dave. <3333

[tehcatt]

this song is about a night light plugged into a plug socket looking out across the room at a painting of a lighthouse on the opposite wall.

These are not normal people!

[AnaAerophina]

THAT was absolutely beautiful. Impossible not to love.

[AlmostYearly]

Two guitars at the same time.

[EarlNuce]

LOL.
