They Might be Giants-Birdhouse In Your Soul

[T3HGR347Cornholio]

@shuda7 Thanks for checking anyways, mate.

[T3HGR347Cornholio]

@shuda7 I believe that he is asking about why you took away mobile viewing for this video. Both he and I are upset about this.

[Shuda7]

@T3HGR347Cornholio The video was flagged for copyright, so that may be the case, other than that I don't know why it's not...

[greenzombie2q]

Fuckimg why did you take it off the iPhone you whore

[ArsenioGut]

They always used to play this song on 1st Wave. I bet I'm probably one of only people who came here because they remembered the song and liked it.

I swear to god, I thought this song was by R.E.M., It kinda sounds like them. Eh, who knows? My hearing is probably as screwed up as my eyesight is.

[towerofcastle]

Little Kuriboh is really good at syncing video to song. Just look at his intro for Yu-Gi-Oh DMX uh GX i mean, lol

[LadyHannahGaGa]

Glad I'm not the only one here cause of YGOTAS xD

[adpunk4445]

LITTLEKURIBOH FANS, ATTACK!

[jesupek]

TESTING TESTING ONE TWO THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Billaxle]

"There's a picture opposite me, of my primitive ancestry, who stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free! While i respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job, after killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts!!!" >:D

BEST LYRICS - EVER!!!

[jmac34567]

this music video is so bizarre. Great song though

[Despikabil]

I knew what this song meant to me, and YGOTS, or whatever the devil it is you people are talking about, has GENUINELY baffled me! Enlightenment, please!?

[VagPaiNeer]

I didn't come here because of YGOTAS, I CAME HERE BECAUSE I HAVE A TASTE IN GOOD MUSIC, GOD DAMN IT.

[Dante9377]

I knew about this song be for YGOTAS made it a theme

[BrashOfKhaamph]

Blue canary inemnumnble by the light switch...

[louman7777777]

Wow, I thought Little Kuriboh made that song just for Season Zero just because it fit so well.

[TheWikimon]

songs great, videos creepy

[DaftPROJECT22]

SCREW THE RULES, I HAVE MONEY!!!

[xkennyPLx]

Little Kuriboh's fans will suddenly flood the page...

[BlkPanda05]

i challenge your comment to a children's card game! 

[CoolYetiDance]

Yu Gi Oh season zero abridged :O

[adpunk4445]

@CoolYetiDance Ha, already xD

[DUNKIN811]

@CoolYetiDance I've Been Looking for This. Its Awesome!

[AultraHotTemp1000]

This is something pedophiles and crack heads listen to.. LOL

[diogeneslaertius666]

this entire album is brilliant

[diogeneslaertius666]

still gets me after all these years: EVERYTIME

[jackattack20000]

Particle Man...if you really want a They Might Be Giants song stuck in your head.

[nimuethemighty]

I love this song, if only because if I ever have a song stuck in my head, I can come listen to this one, and it always chases the other one out :D

[didgeboy287]

When I first met my best friend Amy, we had some conversation on the phone and she said something ending with the phrase "not to put too fine a point on it" to which I replied "say I'm the only bee in your bonnet" and that really kinda solidified us. Just last year I bought her Join Us.

[theromared]

I never think about this sing from October to May...but my word, when the sun kicks in...its a delight.

[lewisner]

They were a sort of cross of Jonathan Richman and Devo.

[didgeboy287]

@lewisner speaking of Devo, check out the Polysics, a crazy Japanese band a lot like them.

[jbrodu]

these lyrics are really fucking good, its sort of a shame the underlying meaning is so simple, but alas i love it all the more for that.

[AQWORLDSBlackaccount]

john l and john f is SO COOL IN AQW

[beaverzrok]

I haven't heard this song in years, but sang every word.

Go TBMG!

[MJGDFAN10010]

I used to have a secret to tell, then i took an arrow to the knee

[RapoRoxasXII]

@MJGDFAN10010

....god, how many times do people have involve Skyrim in everything!?!?1

[LetoIIsfangirl]

Lol, littlekuriboh sent me here, and this song is really good! I don't get this music vid, tho...

[MJGDFAN10010]

@LetoIIsfangirl its about a night light LOL!!!!

[defenserification]

AQW!! :D

[Kimmie10610]

[Tezzathegreat]

Clearly hugely influenced by Talking heads.

AQW COLLECTION

[ponfarr69able]

what is a longeens symphonet and why are there no rests?

[Shuda7]

@ponfarr69able •The Longines Symphonette was a radio show sponsored by Longines, a watch manufacturer. The slogan for Longines was "It doesn't rest". The Longines Symphonette also released many records of their shows and other recordings by the Symphonette. Later, the Symphonette music was sold off to WEA and recordings were issued credited to just the "Symphonette Society". Likewise, later Texas Instruments started using the Longines trade name to make transistor radios as well as other items.

[didgeboy287]

@Shuda7 Wow, well thank you. I thought it was some kind of symphony maybe known for not having intermissions. Mystery solved. :)

[darthtortugas]

@Shuda7 you must polka

[RapoRoxasXII]

79 people dont have a birdhouse in their soul.

[Lachlant1984]

I've seen and owned a few night lights you plug into the powerpoint, but why doesn't some toy company acquire the rights to develop a canary shaped nightlight that plays samples of this song when you plug it in and switch it on? I'd love to see a product like that, it would be awesome.

[Musicaljunki]

@Lachlant1984 yeah that would be neat. both my brother and my best friend got me thinkgeeks blue canary. i told my friend to keep hers, because shes a pretty big fan as well. we keep wishing it would play the song!

[Pinkberrythecat]

It is about a night light. A blue canary which is his "only friend" at night and he tells him to keep a little light inside himself, as in a little bird house in his soul

[josephchaim]

LOL. I love these retarded comments. This song rocks

[kingmarl365]

According to my bio 1 teacher this song means sex. Can anyone confirm? Because to me this is utter nonsense.

[Musicaljunki]

@kingmarl365 er..no, its not. its more about keeping your happiness somewhere accessible, and finding what makes you happy

[kingmarl365]

@Musicaljunki Good, because i didnt think so. The only thing i could figure was that the "only bee in you bonnet" meant that the particular sex cell had only half the genetic material of other cells and that a light switch placed over an outlet vaguely resembles male genitalia.

[Musicaljunki]

@kingmarl365 Wow, that is waaaayyyy over thinking that. it just means that they are being kinda possessive.

[dkscotland]

@Musicaljunki er..no, its not. its more about a small, blue nightlight.

[Musicaljunki]

@dkscotland well that too XD

[Payneism]

78 people couldnt make a little birdhouse in their soul

[randompspstuff]

how did people find this song if they came from adventure quest worlds

[oakdruiddude]

@randompspstuff they found this song by searching key words from the song at least thats what i did

[randompspstuff]

@oakdruiddude tags dont show nothing

[Thesims7murdoch]

I'll be your friend, oh guardian angel :)

[TwinkieGodz]

some aqw rocks

[xxArtxx100]

love TMBG! ^_^ found them because of aqw(adventure quest worlds)

[lovezmeep1]

My older sis doesnt understand how much a song could make someone feel

[dryzerdraag]

This song seems to be about my night~light!

[nighthawkkuroneko]

Thinkgeek actually sells the blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you. Now we can all make a little bird house in our souls.

[Lachlant1984]

@nighthawkkuroneko Do they???????? I love ThinkGeek, where do I look on their website for it?

[TheSavagehoutkop]

@Lachlant1984 /gadgets/lights/e791/

[handsXdown93]

Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional brought me here<3 How can I be 18 and have gone so long without this song in my life?:(

[05yoav]

78 people like justin bieber

[Duncan010699]

i knew TMBG since i was a kid (coz of courage the cowardly dog) i looked them up on youtube then found this wonderful song now thanks to AQw (adventurequest worlds) they're famous to the other generations :))

[YourDreamScribe]

First time watching the music videos and I can't help thinking "wtf"

[dorman143]

Saw Linnell and Flansburgh on a drizzly April afternoon in University Park, PA, 1987. Best concert I've ever seen. Yup, They can brighten a dark day. Thank you for posting the vid. Love it.

[bigollameo]

My friend was like a little Jewish brother to me, a lapsed Catholic about 8 years his senior. He and his girlfriend were always so happy whenever this band played - so much fun. "Birdhouse" was a big favorite.

They brought a lot of joy to their own families, and to all of us that knew them.

Just a few months after his girlfriend's tragic death, my friend lost his battle with a long-term addiction to heroin . He died on a Tuesday in Pittsburgh, PA.

The lamplight is always on for them.

[thedeadthmachine]

240p why not 1080P ???? :)

[randompspstuff]

GOD I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

[randompspstuff]

this song tells if you have a soul

[randompspstuff]

woah did he say kill jason you mean that movie?

[ThePaxkivimae]

@randompspstuff No, the myth or jason and the arogonats, from greek mythology (which the movie was based on)

[randompspstuff]

@ThePaxkivimae thanx

[Musicaljunki]

my best friend bought me a blue canary nightlight for my birthday... :D

[LordByronRG10]

heard this great tune at the end of an episode of Bored to Death ....... its was such a great way to sum up the show and what a great to boot!!!!

[SpeedofSilver]

These guys... make the most... surreal music videos... ever

[GhostOfLagg]

Why is that a top comment? That question can be easily answered with google. AND I'm a little prejudice against AQ because I'm seeing it EVERYWHERE.

[2010arthus]

@GhostOfLagg its not AQ its AQW sheesh

[GhostOfLagg]

@2010arthus I played it back when there was just Adventure Quest.

[2010arthus]

@GhostOfLagg Why did you say AQ when it said AQW?

[GhostOfLagg]

@2010arthus I was talking about Adventure Quest in general.

[2010arthus]

@GhostOfLagg lol ok then, cant be stuffed arguing

[AfromanJon]

I always expect 'Lucky Ball and Chain' to come on next...

[jamwc3008]

Love it! Joe Sabolick

[lancelimjoco]

AQWORLDS ROCKS !

/join terrarium .

XDD

[AVNGxWarlord]

A day in the minds of 'They might be Giants' is like an eternity of all drugs combined!

[Musicaljunki]

this is my best friend and my favorite song. not only because its PURE AWESOME, but also, yes, because we are pretty damn big pushing daisies fans.

[pandamoniumsan]

thumbs up if littlekurriboh brought you here

[Gwimancer]

@devilzfood Your all right brother, Im all smiles and my friends just look at me confused. They ask me "whats going on? Why do you have that psycho/happy stuck smile?" and I answer "SHHHH Im in my birdhouse, go find yourse :)".

[smellysmug]

Thumbs up if you had hair when this came out ....

[devilzfood]

None of my friends understand my love for TMBG. But one song can make a bad day turn into good, and for that I will always be grateful.

[TheGreatMightyPoo1]

@devilzfood

This comment conveys my feelings perfectly. My friends think TMBG are weird, but the effect of their songs are so big on me.

[sethclown]

It's $155 for this ticket, but i'm going to party like it's 155!

[ImperatorZor]

I love this video. I don't like the whole "Back in my day" stuff that people get into, but honestly this is far more inspired than the infinate lame "Band preforming for a/at a party" that come out today. Just a museam, some props and a few extras and they managed to make. We have CGI now, why can't someone besides Lady Gaga make a decent music video?

[CatGracelyng]

I went to their concert yesterday and Danny Weinkauf gave me their set list!! They kicked ass and I would love to go again.

[blackopshaloismylife]

love this song :)

[demonking86420]

76 people got fired if that were their job

Hah!

[GreenTuxMan]

Can't believe I got almost 100 thumbs up >_< and I really don't even like the "Thumbs up this" message thing, I was just tired of hearing about AQW on a TMBG video.

[demonking86420]

@GreenTuxMan Forget them comments. (Kids.....)

[Payneism]

it sounds different from the AQW one ._.

[AQWGOD]

@Payneism The one in the game is a live performance.

[AQWGOD]

@Payneism I like the live version better also lol.

[StagJJ]

Bees :adore:

[jkbosh]

this song deserves 100 million hits, not 1 million

[ChossRock]

Seeing them tomorrow night in Boulder. Eat your livers.

[jonasbrack1]

The Lead singer of this band reminds me of the guy off of Two and a half Men Jon Cryer. Thumbs up if you agree

[twintwin2812]

75 people didn't put a bird house in there soul

[thelegendrubyrodd]

what the fuck is this O_O

[Tanglenose98]

@thelegendrubyrodd A song. ;)

[CobrakingTV]

75 people didn't have the soul to build the birdhouse in :(

[EpicPhilStudios]

I like TMBG... :)

[AQWpantslessmaniac]

thumbs up if in AQW you got dr worm in yur house and air guitared to this song

[AdultsSwim1]

Is this video supposed to make sense? I don't get it....

[AChannelWithNoName12]

What can I say? Awesome beyond words. One of my favorite songs from my favorite bands. Amazing...

[mkpianofab]

I know this song is in the key of "C" (LIVE "D") however the original sounds closer to "C#.

[DEMBAPlayer]

@Dark Devil Knight0 Alot of ppl liked the band so thts why btw if u want to meet me write /goto A Slasher to find me,tell me how u know me and how can u get vindicator in a few days when its 70 tokens!!!!!

[TheCeilrux]

@wessless vindicator is definitely worth it. Invincible after rank 3 haha xD

[XaleManix]

is it bad that the first time I heard this song was in the opening of a Yu-Gi-OH Abridged episode?

[Sporemin]

@XaleManix

Nope. That is how I found about this song.

[reverberate10]

@XaleManix Yes and no.

[TheKingdomeheartsfan]

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS ROX SO DOES AQWORLDS

[dryzerdraag]

Song is about a nightlight.

Love to TMBG!

[DEMBAPlayer]

Thumbs up if AQW brought u here

P.S:What does The F in John F stand for? and John L

[1thenobleone]

@DEMBAPlayer John Flansburgh and John Linnell

[DarkdevilKnight0]

@DEMBAPlayer Flansburgh and Linnell respectively. It's their last names since both of them are named John. Also can someone tell me why AQW is sending people here? It intrigues me.

[reverberate10]

@DEMBAPlayer Linnell and Flansburgh

[linkinpark4512]

@DEMBAPlayer John flansburgh, john linnell

[coolmint204]

@DEMBAPlayer John Flansburgh (the one with the sunglasess) and John Linell.

[flight1237]

@DEMBAPlayer it means their last names, since both of their first names are the same

[willscomix]

@DEMBAPlayer John Flansburgh, and John Linnell

[InFlam3sW3Trust]

@DEMBAPlayer People like you bring shame to good bands.

[mrthatesyou]

@DEMBAPlayer Flansburgh and Linnell. Linnell is the one singing this song, Flansy is playing the guitar.

[eliminatorrAQW]

@DEMBAPlayer Flansburgh=Dude with glasses Linnell=The Other then.

[Ronyklee]

@DEMBAPlayer I'm gonna take a wild guess and say: their last names!

[lkeandTheEmblems]

This sounds totally different from the AQWorlds version.

[JhunnaMay]

yeh i love now tmbg cause of aqw!!!!!



[FirebondBonebladeAQW]

LOL...just look at how many people are from AQWorlds are making this popular..

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS : YOU ROCK!

[dethtreex]

@FirebondBonebladeAQW

Even before AQWorlds, this song was popular.

[Watcher863]

Once again, I completely misunderstood the lyrics of a song.

[GreenTuxMan]

Thumbs up this message if your taste in music brought you here...

[russellrehak]

@GreenTuxMan HAHAHA lack of taste in music..... we like weird for the sake of weird. I have robot ears but even those are broken... aka I love this band.

[SuperDerrick0000]

thumbs up if AQworlds brought you here for the 3d birthday

[avpkid345]

@XSaberHeroSmash Nah, I played that game before. Waste of money. 

[joshuamnm]

@avpkid345 dont buy mem then...

[avpkid345]

@joshuamnm I didn't. I just think It isn't that good

[Shingiami240]

@avpkid345 at least you supported AE

[IceFang59]

TMBG is amazing

[PSYCHEDELICgiraff]

THUMBS UP IF YOU VOTE DOWN FOR PEOPLE THAT ASK FOR THUMBS UP

[8258tom]

is the TMBG made by john and john?

[1209shaman]

AQW bring this awesome band,NOW I LOVE IT! Thumps up if you agree! \o\

[Argonianclaw]

the flood of similar comments drown out my good words of the people that play aqw, ah well...i guess you cant help ignorance if it doiesnt want help

[AtaraxiaMedia]

I recognise this song from quite a while ago... Only knew it was They Might be Giants from AQW. ^^

But yeah I don't understand why people get pissed off when bands get more popular...

[theclinger]

@AtaraxiaMedia They Might Be Giants is already pretty popular. (Check out the date that this song was written.) Some people may just get a little frustrated at all of the similar comments.

[Technorex]

When I heard this on the radio for the first time a few days ago, I thought he said "I say I only wanna be in your body." I was wtf!? Lol

[Tomdabomb86]

@Technorex I only heard this on the radio the other day myself, it wasn't NOVA you were listen too by any chance?! Great song

[Technorex]

@Tomdabomb86 No it was WBLM, 102.9 here XD

[TheDragonfablepwner]

AQW!!!

[TheDragonfablepwner]

I'm his friend =D

[jakethesnake]

what the fuck is AQW?
