Contrecoup (TMBG) on piano

My piano arrangement of "Contrecoup" by They Might Be Giants. This was recorded live in my kitchen. Interesting pop fact: The low hum you can hear in the background is my chest freezer. Oh yeah and for this track I was too lazy to learn the solo so I did a 'Number 2' style human wah-wah.

This song was conceived when someone challenged them to write a song using (3) outdated words: (1) Contrecoup (2) Limerent (3) Craniosophic (they all show up in spellcheck)

@toddness I wouldn't say 'contrecoup' was an outdated word... I saw a medical documentary discussing it shortly after the album came out.

Hahaha the solo was great.

@Zoidberg227 They wrote another song about the same thing: My Man. They also wrote a song entirely about a thermostat!

When i was a pizza driver we had this guy who folded pizza boxes for us.  He had this big indentation in his skull, and he was blind, but his eyes were ok. He told me that he that he crashed his Mustang, and after that his girlfriend said that she couldn't marry him.

Thank you.

Very few bands would write a song about concussions. Only TMBG would write a song about contrecoup concussions ... and make it sound so morbidly cheery. And probably only you would rearrange and cover it. I'm particularly fond of the "wah" solo.

I like how you stayed faithful to Linnell's Fantasy-land accent. Contrecooo! On the rebound!
