I Am a Paleontologist - They Might Be Giants w/Danny Weinkauf

[UrsoChappell]

Don't worry. I'm 45 and I like it unapologetically.

[dude2677]

I am a stegosuaros

[thecoolguy010]

damn even months after that payless commercial, I'm STILL hooked on this song!

[poisonedclaw]

is it sad that I am 18 years old, and I still listen to this stuff? no trolls need answer, heh

[thecoolguy010]

@poisonedclaw I'm 19, join the crowd!

[gmanmerrill]

thx to my sister this song is stuck in my head!!!!! grrrrrrrrr

[InWithQuinn]

@gmanmerrill shhh.... don't fight it

[gmanmerrill]

@InWithQuinn don't fight what

[InWithQuinn]

@gmanmerrill awesome music being stuck in your head

[rustyfrisbee]

Man, this takes me back. From the age of 4 until I was 15 I wanted to be a paleontologist.

[cozcat42]

danny's 3 years old and the the pachycephalosaurus is in his 40's o.o

[toroazte]

I´m a paleontologist and I love this song!



[Davonater45]

My 5 year old brother just rocked out while listening to it

[kazarific15994]

I USED TO WANT TO DO THAT! :D

[OscarApollo]

See, this is why evolution will win over creationism eventually.

Because it has dinosaurs.

[truehackerproduction]

go on AQW cuz it introduced me to these Awsome and Crazy musicians

[thecoolguy010]

@truehackerproduction AQW FTW

[Goldenka]

I'm studying paleontology and the basics... It makes me... Trilobitomorpha!

[goofball89894]

o.O heard this song on a McDonald's comercial before... =O

[kichellebieber]

@goofball89894 worddd me too!!!!!!!!!! LOL! THATS Y I LISTENED TO IT LOL :)

[cozcat42]

i think by paleontologist he means pedofile.......

[InWithQuinn]

@cozcat42 I can and will kill you. =_= You didn't even spell pedophile right.

[Cereghini]

@cozcat42

Be polite.

[truehackerproduction]

@cozcat42

YOUR WRONG

you cant even spell PEDOPHILE

[rgn22]

@truehackerproduction

And you can't spell "YOU'RE" or "CAN'T"

[AntiochusMegas]

I'm an archaeologist but I must admit to being jealous of palaeontologists.

[riviellother]

HERMOSO :,)

[CBDawesomeness]

LOL

[Iluvmakara]

aradia megido approves

[iamxert]

Can't wait to play this in the Lab.

[realitysucks037]

i had song stuck in my head during my palaeontology lecture, it wasnt overly helpful but it made it funny for me XD

[Pratttan2]

I really hope this isn't supposed to be a child's song..

[jacksonnicholls]

@Pratttan2 Why not?

[doviewz]

I wonder what the children to adult listening ratio is. Adults probably have the kids by about 12 to 1

[OhyaaAlix]

@doviewz well if you look at the statistics of the video the main ages of people watching this video are males 35-54 and females 35-44

[thebirdinthebackpack]

@OhyaaAlix true, but you can't have an age under 13 on youtube anyway. :p a lot of those people could be showing this video to their children... though who knows, maybe the adults are just watching these videos for themselves. :)

[deltawolf1124]

@thebirdinthebackpack Im 19 and i love listening to these guys lol

[thebirdinthebackpack]

@deltawolf1124 awesome! i'm 18 and i listen to them because my father always listened to them... if i have kids, they are definitely going to listen to them, too :p

[TicoMachi]

Oh snap! That pachycephalosaurus can shuffle!

[Ninjaraptor6]

Wanted to be one since I was six.

Now I'm in my first year of university so I can rightfully fit this song.

[jacobthelioneater]

@Ninjaraptor6 >still in university

>claims to be a paleontology

No.

Wait until you graduate before calling yourself one.

[ultimateninjaboi]

@jacobthelioneater "It's about our friend, Danny, who likes to pretend he is one." fits the song. XP. no offense to Ninjaraptor

[Ninjaraptor6]

@jacobthelioneater I know, I know.  So I mis-worded it. My bad.

[WatermelonCrazy]

As a paleontology student, I find this song amusing

[labby890]

This was in a commercial and it ws stuck in my head hahaha

[tomzorzzzz]

@labby890 What commercial? Is it on youtube?

[labby890]

@tomzorzzzz I think it was a payless shoe bogo commercial. it was on tv this past summer

[TempestinBlue]

The first thing I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a Paleontologist. Perhaps I should have stuck with that.

[loreleidotcom]

@TempestinBlue It's never too late!

[0mario64luigi0]

0:54

well thats not ice cap zone from Sonic 3 at all.

[shyvixen1313]

Why is cartoon john linnell dressed as a vampire at the ending last few seconds? i must know.

[flarndoodle]

@shyvixen1313 Because the song after this one is called "The Bloodmobile".

[xSoupyTwist]

When I was a little kid, the first job I ever wanted to do was be a paleontologist. But I got teased out of it by my family. Still, this is my first time hearing this song, and I just had the biggest grin on my face. :D

[ishotthesherifswife]

@xSoupyTwist please take up an interest in it. its easy to learn about, fun todo,

[xSoupyTwist]

@ishotthesherifswife While I am still interested in it, it's become more of a hobby. My favorite and strongest subjects have always been bio and history, which makes sense. However, I'm now a college student on a pre-medical path.

[yoshibones]

flans and linnels tiny little bodies and arms flailing about are the best parts of this video

[JodiAnnBaudean]

I love this song...that's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am.

[UNICORNTEHEHEHEHE]

FLYING CHILDREN ;O

[hiptobe2Dhypercube]

@ManlyPuffs lucky!

[ManlyPuffs]

i am in highschool and my teacher made us watch this.

[UNICORNTEHEHEHEHE]

@ManlyPuffs IM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THERE MAKING US XDD

[XxMorbidXButterflyxX]

@ManlyPuffs Haha! We didn't...:( The AP classes got to hear James K. Polk. I remember making my 5th grade teacher play James K. Polk in class because he was the subject.

[Tubofluxar]

@ManlyPuffs

awesome teacher?

[Rhinogradentian]

@mommyangel96 I feel sorry for your children, being innocent victims of indoctrination.

[Rhinogradentian]

@Thidrek Blind sheep says what?

[Rhinogradentian]

I have made a significant paleontological discovery whilst volunteering at my local museum, but I am not a paleontologist.

[Slothsrockursox]

this is from the one commericail!!

[TheSoFlyKids]

If your having paleontology problems

I feel bad for you son

I dug 99 bones

but a tricerotops aint one

[Vidivici96]

i sing this to annoy my family & friends

[AgentDudo]

I AM A STEGOSAURUS.

[Rhinogradentian]

@AgentDudo No, you are wrong, *I* am a Stegosaurus.

[AgentDudo]

@Rhinogradentian Mo, sir. You are a rhino.

[Rhinogradentian]

@AgentDudo Actually, we're both wrong, I am the walrus googoo a joob.

[hacker1698]

2:24 evry day im shuffuling p.s. i LOVE this song

[MathPhysChemSkyNerd]

@hacker1698 Me too!

[kkmmbbff]

I now want to be a paleontologist when I listen to this :)

[Bells1208]

I can never be unhappy when I hear this song :-)

[johnclavis]

I'm learning this on my geetar so I can play it for my 5-year-old niece when I go visit... it's apparently one of her favorite songs <3... They Might Be Giants rules!!!

[BunneySpeltWrong]

Well...IM A MESOPOTAMIAN!

[RyanBoobMan]

Minecraft.

[TheDoctorMcNugget]

I kind of like this ;o)

[TheLackofattack]

Whenever I think about Paleontology, I imagine a billion years from now, evolved intelligent life or aliens will dig up our bones, illustrate our form all wrong, and think of us as absolutely hideous creatures.

[QauNuckShin]

@TheLackofattack If they're significantly different from us, they'll probably think of us as absolutely hideous creatures even if they assemble us correctly.

[anticorncob6]

@TheLackofattack What makes you think they're gonna get it all wrong? I think they'll know exactly what life was like at this time.

[turtles45100]

this song is awesome

[christianfarmer]

interesting - kind of sounds like they were influenced by Strong Bad for the first part.

[jacobthelioneater]

@christianfarmer They are friends with the Homestar runner people. Look up the TMBG song Experimental Film - the Homestar runner people did the animations. TMBG also did the music for one of the songs in a Strong Bad email, Different Town

[Drmushman]

In the beginning i think that they're in front of mos eisley something from star wars, right?

[ForChrome1]

ROSS<3

[allygilmore500]

Rat farts

[FLACOSALGADO]

November 25, paleontologist's day :)

[dereckc765671]

"Uh-Oh, it's a Dinosaur" linked here, and I must say I am living this song!

[The1stVolc]

I'm here because "Uh-oh, it's a Dinosaur" sent me here. I have to say this is the most amazing song about an incredibly boring job that I've ever heard!

[salimfariss]

at 1:20 the dinosaur was eating with a fork

[Hadra568]

A song to make palaeontology look like fun. (in reality, it's pretty boring)

[TitWarlord]

@Hadra568 BS. have u ever worked as one?

[Rhinogradentian]

@Hadra568 Paleontology has dinosaurs, therefore, it is more interesting than your mere opinion.

[Rhinogradentian]

@emmabugsmama Maybe your sorry existence has something better for you to do than being pedantic on the internet.

[dazzlemexdarling]

@emmabugsmama He used the correct word. You're wrong.

[AdventuretimeFan2]

yea that was a payless commercail that my mom made!!!!!!

[loveleohoward14]

my teacher let us watch this she has the cd its funny and i recognize this song from one of those shoe commercials when they went to the museum <3

[mikkyluv1]

I've wanted to be a Paleontoligst since the 2nd grade. I'm now in 9th. Yeeeeeah dinosaurs!!

[spinyfan15]

@mikkyluv1  so you want to be a paleontologist, cause I do.

[Konata101]

I am a Pale0nt0l0gist, that's wh0 I am, that's wh0 I am, that's wh0 I am. 0_0

[roomybanker]

They Might Be Giants are geniuses.

[sanjosesharksfan44]

[mrfuzzsaysno]

[miss3RaNdOm]

@legallyawesome1 yeah

[RoyaPuppet]

this guy isnt a palaeontologist..

HES AN ARCHEOLOGIST

liar.



[Dezolion]

@RoyaPuppet Archaeology is the study of human society primarily through the use of materials and environmental data that was left behind. Paleontology is the study of prehistoric life. Get it right.

[ThieflordZ5]

@RoyaPuppet no... hes a paleontologist...

[alltimepanic1]

Dude i dont know why i enjoy this so much but it such a cute song and funny video like if u agree!!!

[LoganLDG]

[AkatsukiPR0]

These skeletons are ridiculously inaccurate.

[TheLandin55]

@AkatsukiPR0 ............Dude.....go throw your self in a hole, then tell me if said hole is accurate as holes come, wait no better just stfu =D

[Dragonshouter]

@AkatsukiPR0 It's just a cartoon, if they were going to be exact, they wouldn't fit on the screen!
