Haven't watched MTV in years - it got ugly and arrogant; very surprising (sort of) given it's origins. I saw TMBG back in 1991 or so at UCSD; nice concert - I was 39 at the time, we were by far the oldest in the audience; everyone else was about 18 or younger - weird.
Ive been in love with these guys since i was ten, since birdhouse. And i'm in my late twentys now. Why do they never play in the uk no more? im vexed..
Mmh. I have to mention Linnells unusual facial expressions. Very interesting, I can't stop watching him. But I must say Flansburgh's glasses are still awesome. Anyway, this video...man, what a theme for visual effects. I was into the music long before I was into the videos, so seeing these videos is like a very fresh perspective on an old friend.
This song is about Jimi Hendrix.

this aired on MTV? that used to be a good channel. it showed a lot of promise with all the underground cartoons...then it just got bad.

Heh, I went to see them last week and most of the audience was about 30, with me being only 16.

the tune sounds very much like 'experimental film'

You mean Experimental Film sounds like Purple Toupee.
Yeah it does sound like it a little, from the short drum intros and the singing style.
This is one of my favorite TMBG movies, BTW.

"...I shouted "free the expo '67!" until they stepped on my hair, and told me I was fat."
Few lyrics are better than these...

Great song, it get's stuck in my head every time I hear. I wana see them play too, but I don't think they leave New York for concerts often.
Whitesox772 4 years ago
They don't tour as much anymore. they do a whole lot of free shows in their home new York. And ever so often go to California. Truly brilliant band.

:Experimental Film + Don't Let's Start = Purple Toupee
:Therefore, Purple Toupee = AWESOME!
Which is odd, because Experimental Film was made after Purple Toupee :p.
