They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul live 1990 w Tonite Show Leno

A more complete version of my favorite performance by They Might Be Giants that includes the interview.
I think its one of the best by any artist from that time period on TV -- it always stuck in my mind. Grate song augmented with a searing orchestral backing incl Doc on solo trumpet.
Years later I refound the vid and IMMEDIATELY put up because of its greatness.

One of my favorite versions of this song, favorite TMBG performances period, and an awesomely fantastic song on its own.

Seriously, this is great.

@toiroforcado lmfao snooping as usual :p as funny as it is thats where i first heard of him from, i really love his music :) walk me out, drifter, let the heartaches begin, all the covers on his 64' debut album, it aint easy, just great songs, one of my favourite singers :P definetly goes beyond his youtube recognition, i was expecting one good song, maybe two from him, but alot of his songs are awesome! not as awesome as they might be giants though. but still.....
