West Xylophone forevah!!

[TwiPrime]

Really wonderful. :D John and John (especially John) are *geniuses* and it's only fitting that we should trust them to teach our children. Thanks for posting.

[karatezombie]

"ZIM-BAB-WAAEEEEE"...lol...gre­at

[beaniepq]

haha, oh flans.

i really like how they're having so much fun in this performance. they're great.

[Eggland21]

did they say.... Armenia?

[dogdrovenorth]

Algeria

[justinisboss]

Pure awesomeness.Fuck no,this isn't a child's song.

[TVGM]

Might Be? I contest that!

[cliffsheets]

Are there really no countries that start with W or X?

[jack9547]

nope

[thegoaliekid]

wales

[CatronixOnYT]

Wales isn't a country.

[yarrow78]

@CatronixOnYT - honesty not sure whether to laugh or cry at a statement like that. Can I ask why they arent a country, is scotland not a country either then?

[JMCatron]

@yarrow78 Technically, no. England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales are all part of the UK, so none of them are countries, although there are a bunch of Scots who want Scotland to be its own nation.

[QuadropheniaBrosef]

@JMCatron The UK is a sovereign state, that contains 4 different countries. England, Scotland, NORTHERN Ireland (never say Ireland is part of the UK, you could get shot), and Wales. Now, please, let's bring this war of wits to an end because I feel like I've been clubbed in the head with a meat tenderizer.

[JMCatron]

@QuadropheniaBrosef I barely even remember this comment. Anyway, You just reaffirmed what I said. Thanks!

[QuadropheniaBrosef]

@JMCatron don't understand how I could possibly have reaffirmed what you said. I didn't. Go to school.

[QuadropheniaBrosef]

@CatronixOnYT intelligence!! Hey, way to make our already dumb country look even dumber! I've got some advice for you; JUMP! HAHAHAHA ONE LESS IDIOT IN THE WORLD!

[ourlucidream]

West Xylophone

[theholderofsong]

WEST XYLOPHONE.

[Caseydood]

BAH!

I will never give up Linnell as my favourite, no matter how good Flans gets.

I saw them back in November of 07 at the Vic Theatre, they were great, I think they did 3 or 4 encores, can't remember, but they did this song, and it was epic. These guys are forever timeless.

[GatorFlier]

Saw them live last night at the House of Blues - as always, an awesome show. 2 encores.

[poopyhead25]

effing genious... these guys are 50 years ahead of thier time

[YelloHello123]

BTW, I'm from Kazakhstan ( thats how you spell it!) Lol they did mention it in the song. and they didn't mention all the countries they just picked the most intresting countries..sorry.. of course u know that.

[derbyd1]

bunkinhead, two things, 1. This is a children's song, unless you are 5 or under, you probably won't. deal with it. 2. If you didn't like it, why did you watch it?

[Whitesox772]

I can't believe it, someone actually pulled of making a good video by taping the TV. Good job. TMBG rules.

[tmbbiff]

thanks! i used a tripod, & a regular digital camera. a lot of people thought the quality sucked, but it was the best i could do. i feel so much better now. :-D

[jthames1390]

thanx 4 posting this idk they came back 0n craig i had saw the first 1 on tv tho mesopitamians

[evelau]

LOL! Linnell's 48 years are finally catching up on him! Look at that tiny belly! Aww.

[thatamericangirl]

No way, dude; I still maintain that the man does not age. He's gained all of 5 lbs since 1986.

[evelau]

Don't get me wrong! He still looks fine in his own way! I love Linnell!

[bunkinhead]

this is music??? i want 3 minutes of my life back

[LarrySTalbot]

then why did you listen to the whole thing?

[bunkinhead]

because it was so horrible i couldnt turn away like a car crash

[LarrySTalbot]

i guess it is kind of like that

[Zunin]

Dude, do you go to a carcrash and say "I want my 3 minutes back"

[bunkinhead]

if your not smart enough to figure out what i am saying then i will spell it out for you its a RETARDED SONG

[twoinabagwithpeas]

My child doesn't think so. It is from a children's album after all.

[thatamericangirl]

This is probably the best intro for this song I've ever heard.

[FlansyLinny]

I'm glad I didn't miss this, and I wanna touch that Flans belly XD

[tmbbiff]

Conan loves TMBG. he said their name correctly when they were on his show. he's in Gigantic. if you've never seen it, maybe now is the time. :-)

[theledzeppguy]

Ferguson is a fan of TMBG.

[Dunklekuh81]

They had alot more energy on Craig than on Conan. Craig was also more to see them, unlike Conan, who was like "Yeah, uh, here for there new album, uh what's their na-, They Must Be Giants on their brand new album The Else

[mattgcn]

Hey, Linnell actually had energy this time! Last week he was deeeaaadddd.

And Flans rockin the midriff ;)

[smocnairethne]

One word.

GUATEMALA!

[ladysquier]

I KNOW

That is INCREDIBLE

Like

In memory of Linnell

I'll go through the day just randomly saying that word and drawing it out like Linnell

*Squealll*

[Boojispud]

YES! Amazing!!

[yeahibet]

This one keeps getting better everytime They do it live. Wow.

[giantvee]

Linnell looks like he's dancing with someone! They're both so spazzy! *squeal*

Also, Flans tummy!

Thank you so much for uploading this. It made my day 10 brazillion times better.

[AlexandriaM]

Thanks for uploading this so quickly!

[streetsim]

I saw them last night too! Only really live... at Toad's Place. Say... didn't Flans say they were wearing the same clothes?
