[BilkTheDestoryer]

Wow, the end is Frankenstein by Edgar Winter Group. It works, I like it!

[neondiscogod]

Was this from the Mark & Lard session TMBG did?

[gillykiller316]

dammit need a birdhouse

[zpy121596]

i've been listening to this song for the past 4 hours.

seriously, it's like 2:29 AM right now.

[jezzerjay]

This song (not this version) was the first one I heard from them. And I was blown away. So, I bought the "Flood" CD and I was and am forever hooked. These guys are unique and totally stellar!! They deserve to be more famous than they are. Irreverent, silly, fun, weird, original, brilliant, clever, funny! I LOVE TMBG!!! Was there ever a video for "Spider" from Apolo 19? Thanks for posting!

[MyNameBeZach]

@jezzerjay its apollo 18, and i have no idea, sorry i couldnt be a help

[Flophole]

What's the song they jump into at the end?

[No1MeerkatManorFan]

@Flophole frankenstein

[Flophole]

@No1MeerkatManorFan Yes!!! Thank you so much <3

[DasGamefuhrer]

@Flophole Frankenstein



[phism]

didn't expect the funk montage at the end. i'll be damned.

[KristinChannel]

Pretty much epic.

[jweber1000]

I remember them from a thousand years ago when I was in college. No one ever gave them more credit than being a flash in the pan. I guarantee these guys are worth as much if not more than most bands of that era. They still work consistently...reference Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons and CBS. Good is as good does...

[DANNYTOMASSI]

awsome!

[harrysabansprincess]

They Might Be Giants FOREVER! They Might Be Giants are awesome and no other band could cover them better than their originals >.<

[DarthKreeg]

I saw these guys at first avenue last september,they did everthing from the flood album and they kicked ass.

[StolenMonkey]

is it being pedantic to say theres no such thing as a "BBC1 radio show" ? someone want to explain what that means ?

[Madoculos]

Unexpected but AMAZING!

[Madoculos]

♫Make a little birdhouse in your soul-♪BADA DA DA DA BADA DA DAAA♫!!!!

[PsycoticSpazzastic]

Whenever/if ever I get married, I want everyone to dance to this. That would be rocking. ;D

[MYV382N]

@PsycoticSpazzastic

that would be truly rocking. am i invited? :P nah, forget it. ill play it at my own wedding.

[Diomedes1899]

I've been trying to find this song for the past 17 years. Mission saved. I haven’t heard it since Camp Deerhorn. The lyric “Bird house in your Soul” does stick out a bit.

[culwin]

@Diomedes1899 No Google where you live?

[Diomedes1899]

Are they in Cyberman Stance? Shall we soon be deleted?

[123bookluv]

Why's it sound so weird?? I have this song on my iPod but it sounds nothing like this one......

[CopenhagenRayne]

@123bookluv check the video description this is recorded at a radio show

and so like all the their live preformances differ from the album version even though this one sticks closer than most

[dazanski]

Maybe I'm a little bias but what a great genre for pop music. I must be getting old or maybe I'm just missing the point, because the dribble we seem to pass of as pop music today just doesn't have the same magic as bands like TMBGs. When did everyone start taking them selves so seriously ?? Is'nt music soposed to make you smile and feel good anymore ??

[redgress17]

@dazanski amen

[Sumthing4theWeekend]

TMBG have been making me smile & dance for 20 yrs... I should have a bumper sticker that reads "i break for blokes with accordians"

@hoekell

Well, even if that is so at least I don't make fun of others to compensate. I find ways of not being a jack ass.

kool song....got it from the l4d parody :]

[boyofdestiny1123]

Amazing song. I don't understand who doesn't love TMBG, I mean 1:41 is ingenious.

[TTEProductions]

Only the coolest band could sing the Malcom in the Middle theme song and make songs for Homestar Runner

[jkdcat]

Pah, birdhouses are for wimps. I have a military aircraft hanger filed with trained striking eagles and attack falcons in my soul

:P

[gaphary]

I was completely thrown off by Frankenstein at the end. I was like "Hold on, is this Frankenstein !?".

[sk8ergrlsky]

You guys know what this song is about don't you?

A night light :)

[HavazikFerric]

Or is the night light just a symbol of something bigger ;)

[anubite001]

eh, topic is a night light, but the 'birdhouse in your soul' and the reference to Argonauts, friends (socrates's philosophy is really friendship-centric), etc. really makes me think this is talking about socrates's idea of light

they've also references socrates in other songs, like the allegory of the cave, so it's not too far off

[leastlikely]

The allegory of the cave was Plato, not Socrates :)

[anubite001]

right, well, he can't take all the credit

[WALRUSGooGooGooJoob]

@sk8ergrlsky Yeah which makes it a thousand times better ^_^

[anubite001]

There's a picture opposite me

Of my primitive ancestry

Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free

Though I respect that a lot

I'd be fired if that were my job

After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts

Truly great songwriting it's a shame most TMBG songs only have a few lines of content. The rhyme and meter here is so great, I love the imagery too the allusion just ties it all together.

[TheSnotrag2009]

awesome

[akaman7]

love this song

[authorannemarie]

this is my favourite song!

[chickenfrenzy7]

Great song. Listen to it alot. frankenstein is awesome at the end. needs morer comments.

[TheFlagofstgeorge]

wicked tune..

[shanez1313]

TMBG's best song to date. It's a shame they're tired of playing it.

[anubite001]

? It's w/ good reason considering how long they've been playing it... almost 20 years now. I'd be sick of it too.

[crazykidzful]

awsome

[wartank777]

who doesn't love TMBG?

[Crazy56U]

@wartank777 About 7 people.

[Xelorans]

*mind EXPLODES*

[0kiwimonster0]

love this. its just.. too great.

[Pboneill]

this is awesome..

[PowBitch]

love the funky jam added on the end.... thanks it's a great version..

[emptyandgray]

lol that's actually Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter Group.

[bilomotosan]

Funny... thats a cover of Frankenstein by Edgar Winter Group! Pretty good but the orig is un-reproducable!

[jblacktree]

You seem out of your mind, not to put too fine a point on it.

[KittensFromMars]

I like it, but think i actually prefer neil cicirega's (Lemon Demon's) cover of it.
