I get an obscene amount of joy from sending this to my younger brothers on their birthdays. I am thankful to TMBG and whoever made these puppets/perfect video.

I am delighted to send this to people on their birthday. Every year-without fail. It's the knitted puppets, the gesticulations, and the black void with clocks. So completely entertaining. I wish there were more of these out there. If folks find anything similar... please share!
Returning to say that this video continues to bring great joy to the people in my life. Thank you for making it, and please consider making more videos!
my father showed me this video when i was like 7 or 8 and this was the first time i comprehended the passage of time fully and thats why im like this now
Enjoy it as much as you can. I'm 25 and 16 seems so long ago now. And you're not even there yet.. however, when you were born I was pretty much the age you are now. Time goes on and on haha
@ilovehotmiroku547 You mean the one that's mostly black and white with the band performing in some kind of clock tower studio? You can find that one on Vimeo.
I am loving the Johns puppets! Did you make them yourself, or are they official TMBG merch? I seem to recall seeing them somewhere else. Awesome video!!!

This is great... I am now sending this to everyone I know on Bdays. I love TMBG since 92
rest in peace
We sing this instead of "Happy Birthday" in my family.
It lacks the power of the original but as it has puppets it's sort of even more brilliant.
My OLDER sister sent this to me today for 68th birthday , game on Grace
this is the song my anxiety sings.
I send this to everyone on their birthday...

It's fun to watch this at midnight, as midnight is both the first and last minute of the day.
Send this to people on their birthday.
Someone just did, lol
I am now thirteen and woke up to this song

@Nathan Strauch _You have failed me for the last time commander_

Happy Birthday guy from mr Scotts class!
This is the song we sing on birthdays in house monkeypaw. God damn if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh.
@rinnin Yes , at least for kids. TMBG has other version of this song.
This is from their DVD/show called " the 1 2 3s " (??) , made for kids.
Not sure this is true...
I’m not sure this is for one of the kids DVDs, but yes, the original version was from TMBG’s album Long Tall Weekend
5 people don't like being reminded of the rate at which time passes.
26 more people joined them in the 9 years since you posted this.
This is awesome! One of the best!
My second fav version of this song
People keep playing this to me on my birthday...
So cute!
Does anyone else remember a super cool animation that went with this song thats just been lost to time
This gave me a mental breakdown when I was a kid.
Chilling.
My ELA Teacher plays this whenever its someones birthday.

This is a riot.
In 7th grade my English teacher played this song for everyone’s birthday.
