i love this movie

[Shuda7]

I went to go see this in theatres just to hear them play that song, the movie was good too. but the creepy part to me was that the other father looks very similar ot John Linnell

[Arichat60]

You know, you're right! I never thought about it before, but he does look a lot like John Linnell. You think that may have been intentional?

[Shuda7]

Possibly, They Might Be Giants entered several songs for the movie, but unfortunately the songs were not "Creepy enough" according to John Flansburgh. So I guess just to make up for it, they mad the other father look like Linnell

[Arichat60]

That does make sense. By the way, did you know that the Other Father is normally voiced in the movie by John Hodgman, aka The Deranged Millionaire, aka the PC Guy?

[Shuda7]

Ya i knew that, he was also on some of the podcasts too.

@YankeeBoyBasin I know! That's crazy!

[SonicFan7820]

[YankeeBoyBasin]

wow, i never knew this was by TMBG!

[OutOfLineStudios]

I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid a few years ago, and when I heard John Linnell's voice come out of the Other Father, I was so happy.

[nightshadeah]

TMBG, OMG Soooo cool.

Oh my god THIS SONG. It barges in full speed grabs you directly by the heart then twirls you around and around and in 28 seconds lets go to leave you out of breath and slightly flushed in the corner thinking *What just happened?*
