She Was a Hotel Detective - They Might Be Giants

[antiphonebill]

Where I want to "KNOW" you in the Biblical sense

[sitbunnynow]

That was really great!

I had never heard that song before, although I have heard the 'From the future' part!

I love TMBG!

[Sviolinist]

First time I heard this song I hated it... but now I love it so much.

[wildmerlewallace]

LOL, same thing happened to me.

[BongoWW]

TMBG DEFINES alternative rock.

[notmysanctity]

Linnell has never looked so appealing as in this video with his white shirt, sleeves rolled up, playing that saxophone. :D

[LeftSock06]

I love the alternate cartoon reality mixed in with the singing.

[DonBon414]

It looks like the same animation as Duckman.

[dietspritezero]

i thought the same thing.

[TechnoHajikelist]

the animation looks familiar... who did this?

[Shuda7]

it does look familiar cuz the animations are on sesame street at the end of the show

[sitbunnynow]

REally?

Where'd you here that?

[Shuda7]

it's pretty obvious since they have the same animations for the buildings

[sitbunnynow]

When you assume you make an ass out of U and me.

[Shuda7]

Well, aren't u nice?

[sitbunnynow]

It's a saying. I wasn't trying to be mean.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, I just mean that you can't just say that it is a fact.

Many things have simillar animation...

[JimmyJamaica68]

this animation is great! it reminds of the old

outro from sesame street

[LordoftheNoldor]

Awesome Bari Sax! Rock on John and John!

[suchducks]

This reminds me so much of when I was a kid. ^_^

*sigh*, I love tmbg.

[PRob82]

Does anybody know how the phone conversation on miscellaneous T came about? I listen to it daily, FUNNIEST THING EVER!!

[valerie2776]

The lady, Gloria, called Dial-a-song, but had conferenced her friend in, so when the answering machine's song finished playing, it just recorded her whole phone conversation, because she didn't disconnect the DAS line. It went on for like half an hour actually.

[PRob82]

I see, thanks!

[thatamericangirl]

The fact that TMBG has one song called "She Was a Hotel Detective" and another one called "(She Was a) Hotel Detective" confuses the heck out of me.

[ThePeyoteCoyote]

Do they really? what albums are they on?

[thatamericangirl]

"(She Was a) Hotel Detective" (this song) was on their first album, They Might Be Giants. "She Was a Hotel Detective" is on Back to Skull, and I'm not sure where "(She Was a) Hotel Detective in the Future" is from!

[MehMehBear]

Oh, see (She Was a) Hotel Detective was the original, I'm pretty sure, and they remade it on Mink Car and just called is She Was a Hotel Detective.

[KinkLink5]

There is also (She was a) Hotel Detective in the Future.

[Eggland21]

ok, this one is from Misillanous T, the (She was a) Hotel detective form the furtrue is from Cast your POd to the Wind... :P

[PoisonPeachPit]

Suh-weet!

[tmbbiff]

ooooh!
