They Might Be Giants - Boss of Me (TOTP)

[MKCyrax1997]

@123456789101112131PP they are nerds, they're the king of nerds that is, even fans and critic call them nerds( or geeks)

[AlekSensej]

At the end of the season 7:

First child finally got a job.

Second child moves in with a family friend and is a janitor at his school.

Third child is on Harvard working to become the president.

Forth child is the new first child and is going to be rich.

Fifth child all ready is a troublemaker.

Sixth child is on the way.

[juanesblack1219]

About a year looking for this song!

[GeoX98]

LLENA DE VASELINA

LLENA DE VASELINA (8)

[DSBWSE]

I didn't quite pictured them like geeks...

[scootcha]

@DSBWSE Why does it matter?

[Maxxxshop]

He wears Buddy Holly's glasses and looks like the guy next door. Cool.

[gregorystills]

Over a tenth of a century ago. Time does fly.

[SuperMegabar]

Hard to believe he was 40 when this was aired... He looks like early 20's

[maximo8712]

malcolm [iminent=JBJDs8YVffOB]

[DomineAstronome]

This is a good band but the singing makes me cringe...

[Letrezieme]

ELLE EST TROP BIEN LA VIDEO 20/20 :

)

[Eden264]

Wow, i cant believe this performance is ten years old, and then they would have still been in their early 40's. I will always remember my mother dismissing this as "American Trash". I found it ironic that being English she would use an american word to dismiss something soley on the basis that it was american.

[amandapotterify]

I first heard this song in Malcolm in the Middle, and just loved it! <3

[vamfpyre]

I only came here because they were on AQW...... I never even knew they existed =.=

[bleacher789]

@vamfpyre lol me too :)

[GetrReady4ASurprise]

John Flansburg is finally lead singing. They are both really good!!!!

[Ryantalope]

A spirited performance!

[IamHeisenberg]

My keyboard smells of hammers.

[adamtzsch]

Blackwood's a cunt.

[noobass456]

Frankie muniz.

[gwarkxx]

[ThatBritishChris]

@gwarkxx Geri Hallewell or something like that

[alexacool99]

[pidgin]

[FraScirea]

Thumbs up if you know this song by Malcolm xD

[JCMcGee]

@TheBeefhawks ...cracking guitar solo...I hadn't remembered that!

[LeClaw]

betchya all the people in the studio were stumped after "life is unfair..."

[LaMagiadelCine1]

Who is the girl in the beginning of the video?

[Smalley123]

@LaMagiadelCine1

Geri Halliwell from the spice girls

[Mickmetal7]

nerd power xD

[ninyachileno]

[InfernalMachineRadio]

This song is awesome, but live sucks... U_U

[goonerhugo]

[BONKATOMICLUNCH]

New type of music - Nerd Punk!

[goonerhugo]

@BONKATOMICLUNCH or just ska...

[BONKATOMICLUNCH]

@goonerhugo True...True...

[gabrieltoashes]

euro-nigger

[Jofph]

Woof, great band & great songs ...and a damn sexy leadsinger/guitarist. But, I wonder if he's aware of it.

[Jofph]

What a great performance...!!!...

[DARKxXxDEITY]

I can't believe I saw them perform this weekend and I didn't know they sang this song!

[Sidosokaradenalga]

Great Song



[wrestlingkane13]

Do they still play this live?

[1darkwingotaku]

@wrestlingkane13 Hell yeah! Best band ever in my opinion.

[Michael321990]

the lead singer has talent because he play that gutair with his left hand

[Tristanhx]

@Michael321990 you mean he is a left handed?

[Michael321990]

@Tristanhx yes

[F34RGAMES]

@Michael321990 That doesnt make him have Talent, that just means he plays left handed rather than Right handed, the music they make makes them talented

[whoiscuriousgeorge]

His voice is more nasal here than on the record, which really suits the song better IMO. Good live performance, lots of fun.

Richard Blackwood can fuck off and die, though. He's such a tool.

[hectormurray28]

fuck off Geri Halliwell I came to listen to good music

[punkrocker8410]

no offense but their nerds

[naotamsk]

@punkrocker8410

they don't have any nerds, though... i don't quite follow you.

[OneClickSounds]

@punkrocker8410 Yet they have hundreds of people screaming and cheering for them, how many do you have again?

[punkrocker8410]

@OneClickSounds look at my band Late Nite Wars... then you tell me buddy (:

[Kritikerin1]

Ahhahahhaaaa GROUPIE FEELING COMES HIGH! :O okay it's over. . . hmm.. well like it :oo actually cause i connect it with melcolm..

[Degastryfe]

With all the people complaining about how bad this band is, I'm surprised there are only 19 dislikes.

[KingofWWESpoilers]

They guys are bad enough on the intro video to Malcolm but live they are just *shudders*

[KingofWWESpoilers]

Sorry, but these guys are just bad

[ColossalM]

@KingofWWESpoilers Maybe instead of looking at every They Might be Giants video and saying how much they suck, then maybe you might be able to get a life.

[KingofWWESpoilers]

@ColossalM I didn't say they sucked I just said they were bad and have got a life, thanks

[ColossalM]

@KingofWWESpoilers Okay, how are they bad?

[KingofWWESpoilers]

@ColossalM It's just the singer, I don't think he's any good. Now John Cooper from Skillet, he's good

[ColossalM]

@KingofWWESpoilers Because he doesn't have a generic voice? Okay, good for you.

[Puzzlenaut]

@TheBeefhawks this is lip synced.

[aspirantepiloto19]

Epic!!

[DamianNeate]

such talent.

[EllaiaThompson]

i am so singing this to my parents when Im 18!!!!

[Resolution001]

@EllaiaThompson Gonna sign this when I move out

[smkaap]

malcolm!!!!

[AlexManescu]

these levels are disappointing, I bet it sounded awesome there.

[SonicSidewinder]

Fuck, i miss Top of the Pops.

[barnetboy2]

0:45 - CRAIG

[Anoraf1]

Lol, Britney Spears do suck live...if she wasn't playback-ing, we would only hear her panting xD

[BSPest84]

a live performance on totp is.......... rare

[TomekCro]

@TheBeefhawks there are bands who suck live?

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@TomekCro Lol you obviously haven't been to a Big Pink concert... Or many concerts at all for that matter

[ThomasPianecz]

@Chameleonardodavinci i dont consider that music

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@ThomasPianecz Nah me neither, but you get my point, right?

[slomo8888]

@TheBeefhawks what did you smoke, when you wrote that comment?

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

@TheBeefhawks k i take that back :P

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

@TheBeefhawks sounds shite live.. lyrics do ayway

[Kid0fThePast]

Remind me of Weezer

[BiggestOfDaddies]

It's amazing to me that these guys can't sing and I still love to hear them.

[UncleSpicey]

Geri at the start WOO!

[ALEXMDL13]

nerds-_-

[GovnaBuckingham]

@ALEXMDL13 jew

[brownieSongs]

malcom... <3

[TheWweratedrko8]

they are one hit wonder

[CriticalMoose]

@TheWweratedrko8 lie

[BiggestOfDaddies]

@TheWweratedrko8 Actually, they're a 3 hit wonder if you go by songs that were popular. Istanbul, Particle Man and this song. It's irrelevant regardless because they have a lot of good songs.

[pixelthedot]

@BiggestOfDaddies This is false as well.

They've had 5 songs appear on the US charts, Ana Ng, Birdhouse in Your Soul, Twisting, The Statue Got me High, and Snail Shell. This song is popular because of Malcolm in the Middle, Istanbul and Particle Man because of Tiny Toons. They also have a grammy-winning children's album.

Far from a 1 or 3 hit wonder, if you ask me.

[BiggestOfDaddies]

@pixelthedot I'm aware of all of those, but you'll notice he specifically mentioned "hit songs". I don't necessarily consider their other songs as hits just for making the charts, but that's just me. I was looking at it more based on popularity, wherein that if you talk to anybody who's even heard of TMBG, they'll know at least one of the 3 I mentioned and little else. But I agree with you technically.

[ohmygoditsjesus]

being around forever doesnt meen your not a one hit wonder. some people just dont die (DIO for example, shouldve stopped like 10 years before he died).

if theres only 1 song of yours that the general public could possibly name, your probably a 1hit wonder. i gotta say, not many people know of TMBG, if they do, its because of malcolm in the middle. sounds like a 1hit wonder to me....

[theamazingzeno]

@ohmygoditsjesus Although, this isn't nearly their highest-charting song. So, if they've had more successful songs than what is supposedly their only hit, what does that make them?

[zenzen5106]

They are one hit wounders because they only had one hit. Yes they have released plenty of albums dosnt change the fact they only had one hit.

[lydz25]

Thumbs up for the very last 'life is unfair!'

[AKALucifer]

Wow, what a terrible intro.

[thecookchef]

coolest nerds ever!

[crash9321]

nice song!

[interpolAnonimo]

BUENA ROLA!!

[CanduterioCS]

Before watching it I thought I was nerd

[WouterNed]

Top of the pops, damn does that take me back

[LouisLambert]

"Right below the horizon"? I'm guessing that means that he's mediocre at sucking. If he really wanted to be a rebel, he'd be at the ass-end of the valley, back there with Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill.

Fuck school. It doesn't create smart people.

[marzy17]

I remember actually watching this. :)

[pearlyfcsp]

Yeeeeaaahr naahht theee Boaaassssss off meeee naoooooaaww

[bored2helloflupita]

He cannot even sing!!

[Anothercoilgun]

Another reason this country is hopeless in fighting for its natural born rights.

[SSj5Bob]

My favorite is John... actually no John is way better than John.

[kenneth1lian]

black guy with british accent.. gross man

[851852093114208513]

@TheBeefhawks actually playing live is just like rehearsing. its actually exactly the same. at least to me it is. maybe its different if some random black dude in the audience introduces you?

[MartianBuddy88]

so anyone have a clue as to who that chick was at the very beginning?

[Akyho]

@MartianBuddy88 Ex Spice Girl Geri (Ginger) Haliewell......

[yeeyeeyeah]

Life is unfair!....the John's are genius's!!!

[franco15r]

malcolmmm

[smoke420allthetime]

i think they are awesome, stop hating

[TheWinner888]

sounds terrible!!

But i like the version where he doesn't sing false.

[s7r1k30u7]

What the fk do they think they're doing!?!?! are they wearing button shirts and belt buckles? omfg those poor guitars...

[Zender1]

@s7r1k30u7 Who says guitars have a certain style?

[s7r1k30u7]

@Zender1 No one, Im pointing out that they're are RUINING their instruments like that

[hstrzina]

@s7r1k30u7 I don't understand.... why are they ruining their instruments? They're music is awesome, who care what they're wearing?

[s7r1k30u7]

@hstrzina The back of the guitar is getting fkin SCRATCHED LIKE SHT by the buttons and the buckle. the music is fine

[Kurcbn]

@s7r1k30u7 a few scratches wont affect the sound...

[trustjab]

[2660462]

[StackGamingNetwork]

[arranmc182]

Bet every one that took the piss out of them at school are stuck in dead end jobs or in jail why they are in a band that had a song on a hit TV show

[IronManOfficialguy]

@arranmc182 Not to mention their many well recieved albums and loyal fan base.

[Fall4Fashion]

i just like the beginning

[NyeTunes]

What's with all these fuckin' wannabe non-TMBG fans commenting here?

[andymillerisdabest]

@NyeTunes You're quite right, how dare these people think that they are free to post on an open public website?

[rhiannonband]

Richard Blackwood is an absolute moron.

[ATTVK]

[joselalog]

[SuperJaykay93]

(immitating black guy at the end)

THEY MIGHT ME GIAAAANTS

[lizchon]

[Cl455icCh4o5]

[Glixtcher]

Holy shit they suck live i mean they SUCK live omgomg D;

[MrTodd198126]

@Glixtcher Like fuck they do mate, look up bird house in your soul TOTP

[NyeTunes]

@Glixtcher No, that's only why they sell out one tour after another, because most fans find them to be far superior live.

[neosasther]

freak

[NajeePharaoh]

his voice is annoying...i like how it was sung for the show

[Moviewatchnmake]

@NajeePharaoh Yeah

[deFATpanda]

Lead singer is a lefty?

[MrMantura]

Shit song...

[luismi4550]

[TheJamesgallagher]

Aha, I never realized Malcom in the Middle theme song was They Might Be Giants!

[whoiscuriousgeorge]

Hehe, check out that dumb bint Halliwell at the start of the vid.

[Tschakrakeks]

The soong is brilliant...



[Diogoverlord]

And that's how music makes a difference.

[binladensassassin]

[MadeoOnTheRadeo]

[Sesquipedaliantique]
