This is a pretty lame cover by They Might Be Giants. It's a disgrace to show the original album cover by Dukes of Stratosphear (XTC) since it's not even their version.
The odds of hearing TMBG perform this live are slim. The odds of hearing XTC perform this live are none. I'm gonna hang out with slim if it comes around. Besides, more groups need to be covering XTC's songs. Their music is worthy.

Wow... quite interesting... a super-favorite song by a super-favorite band covered by another favorite band... it's not quite what I'd have done, but it's fun to hear and to know they did it.
i dont get the lyrics but i love the song " each watch, i smash apart just adding to my power, each watch i smash apart bringing near the hour" ? im a bit confusef n theirs no 25 o clock so how cab you be theirs?
TMBG had met XTC (AP & CM, anyway) during the recordings of songs for the Carmen Sandiego: Out of This World album, and that's partly where this cover, as well as their own XTC vs. Adam Ant song came from.
i love xtc they are my favorite band howerver i feel that the original is pretty dull in the singing department and tmbg just picks that up also this was what got me into xtc so i imagine it will always hold a special part in my heart
i wanted to listen to the Dukes of Stratosphere original...too bad

TMBG covering Xtc; what a fabulous idea. Have they covered any other Xtc songs? You're My Drug, anyone?

@jaevierum Wow! Agree! I'm sure that TMBG did not understand that it was a 'Piss take'!!!

TMBG are massive XTC fans, as were INXS. Always wondered what an INXS cover of Towers Of London would have sounded like.

I thought that was a great cover, not keeping to the original exactly but perfectly reflecting it in a much cleaner, crisper way.
Does it for me anyway!
