I really freekin love John's diction. I mean, how many bands have singers that articulate their words? Been on board as a TMBG fan since flood came out. Love you guys, keep your high quality records comin. I will buy them.
amazing performances all round but dan CRUSHES that bass line. so melodic and groovy, even compared to the album version, which is still great, he's throwing in all sorts of juicy nuggets and spicing it up. as usual amazing songwriting from the possible giants.
Pretty good performance. Conan is awesome, and even more awesome for giving the Giants such respect that they deserve. I love how tight the ending was. Linnell's voice carries that last note perfectly.
yeah, they look like they've showered off all that "on-the-road" funk. Danny Weinkauf is even out of his usual leather pants and in a suit. now that's cleaning up.

i love the tune of this song so much!!! and john linnells voice is nice. especially in this song. one of my personal favorites of theirs.

This is probably the best performance of this song.
We're the _Mesoamericans_ !
Tangaxuan, Ahuizotl, K'inich Janaab Pakal, and Siyaj K'ak!
We're the Mediterraneans !
Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal and Pericles!
Thes song has become a meme in my school
Samee
Same but Mr Nickys more
That was so amazing. I love They Might Be Giants.

I have read the Epic of Gilgamesh :-)

They look so much more comfortable than during "I'm Impressed." They were very nervous for that, it seemed.
this is their best song
This and Birdhouse in your soul
That's a huge call for a band with over 1,000 songs.
this and Purple Toupee (Lincoln Album)
@@NxDoyle wait what
@@noodlearg9745 they're a nearly 40 year old band, theyve got so many songs
They look like high-school teachers who are going through a mid life crisis
This is one of the best songs ever!
This is truly one of their best songs.
No better way to say goodbye to Conan, thanks for a great 14 years on Late Night...
I love these guys and I love this song.
My History sent this to everyone in my class (+ me) and I think we all loved it
Fucking Middle and High School History Class Nostalgia.
3:10 I can feel you Marty
ooooof he didn't get a handshake I feel so bad
He did, at the end, Conan just had to tell the camera goodbye first
An awesome performance of a great song!
still a great song and it would be great for 6 grade history lone hill students
Had to read it in world history XD0
He does end up shaking Marty's hand, but only after giving Marty a few seconds to reflect on his huge mistake in not wearing anything fancier.
No handshake for the drummer? Typical XP
+MichaelLeroi IT'S YOU
I'M A FAN
AH
He shook his hand at the very end of the video :D
Great job guys!
they look sooo much cleaner than when i saw them in concert
Thanks for the ul. I forgot to watch them!
forever FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maaannnnn I wish I could've seen it!
This song is always my jam when I'm heading through enemy territory to go pick up some fine quality copper ingots.
Ah! I get it: Lincoln and Darwin's birthdays are both February 12. Coooool.
I learned how to hack so I could get this video on my iPod...
Do you still have it?
great!
You'd be hard-pressed to find a song better than The Mesopotamians.
Your picture is so fabulous
0:44 fixing his earphone
Gotta show the respect for Darwin :D
yeah, they look like they've showered off all that "on-the-road" funk. Danny Weinkauf is even out of his usual leather pants and in a suit. now that's cleaning up.
me too
Haven't heard much of Mink Car, seeing as how it's not available on iTunes.
hehe, they're all still really good looking.
awesome tmbg performance.
That's Marty, not Mary. My hand kinda skipped over the "t" when going r-t-y, they're all next to each other.
Conan doesn't shake with Marty because Mary's wearing casual clothing. Fancy shirts only, pal.
I would guess, Dan doesn't usually play that fancy of a guitar.
Would've preferred "It's Kickin' In", "Wearing a Raincoat" or pretty much any other song from The Spine, but those are good, too.
Conan says "Leave that [guitar] when you go", right?
@shaunalovest Pride of Brookyln, not Britain!
@9899brad me of course ! iraq rules !!
@xubius no
Who is the guitarist in the white shirt?
Dr. Worm
@blinxwang
Do you know what the most fucked up thing is?
You're mentioning the kid's name.
I would never do that.
Who were you mentioning, anyway?
Oh oh they are pretty goo.... O.O There British?!?
they arent?
I think they misheard "Pride of Brooklyn" as "Pride of Britain".
The Wiggles?
But better
Too bad they didn't do a better song.
