They Might Be Giants - The Mesopotamians

[mrmagic1234567full]

First of all, the guy in orange is not playing the guitar at all

Second, he's not even holding it correctly!

SAD

[MultiRockability]

@mrmagic1234567full because he's lefty

[mrmagic1234567full]

@MultiRockability OK,but he's not playing it!

What's the point?

[MultiRockability]

@mrmagic1234567full can you see the word fm in the background ? maybe they play this song in the radio with only 1 guitar and the guy in orange is only doing backing vocals for this song

@saysay341 nvm i googled it and i rembered it we were doing this in like 4th-5th grade xD

[seaniner1212]

@saysay341 and whats mesopotamia? xD (im from greece we do modern history)

[TheJacker118]

@seaniner1212

It was an ancient civilization by egypt

They invented cuneiform ( 1 0f the world's 1st writing systems)

First set of laws (By Hammurabi)

Possibly th earliest library ( Ashurbanipal)

Established the first empire ( sargon)

Had epics and legends told of how mighty and awesome they were ( Gilgamesh)

And made many advances in Agriculture As Well

[AssyrianTyaraya]

@TheJacker118 Ancient egyption civilization? you must be a retard or acting like one.

Mesopotamia means between two rivers and its in the area of modern Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran...

[seaniner1212]

@saysay341 how come?

[Mottahead]

This is the best version of the Mesopotamians ever.

[MyspacelaaxD]

[j2n]

PLAY THE GUITAR, FLANS.

[NihilusX8]

Ahh My teacher gave us a test on their music video!

[Troy364]

actually they're "Sumerians"

[Vadergeek]

I'm surprised that this song is popular. It says wonderful things when a band's audience actually appreciates Mesopotamia.

[boomaga]

oh lord HOW MANY COMPRESSORS are you gonna chain ? It's actually pushed past the point of brickwall and is actually breathing BACKWARDS. Shameful. 

[samsterola]

i saw the first show they did this song at and it was great i also have a shirt with the mesopotamians on it

[raidengougounne]

at 2:43 you can really see how the bass player is involved in the song...priceless!...i do that on stage all the time..lol

[Gbreinin]

@raidengougounne That is a six string guitar bro.

[xXJAYWAGXx]

@raidengougounne ......

[geekfest2000]

[WHYNOTTTTTTyeah]

[Zondry95]

[beaniepq]

lol, actually, who am i to talk, i barely have an account. anyways, tmbg rocks, and i suggest you learn the names of the band members so that you'll seem less ignorant :/

[NvPGulstab]

I hope he breaks your kneecaps. He has his guitar out because they clearly did a set of songs, the other songs which required his guitar stylings.

[videosearcherwhenbor]
