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!!!

It lacks the power of the original but as it has puppets it's sort of even more brilliant.
We sing this instead of "Happy Birthday" in my family.
This is great... I am now sending this to everyone I know on Bdays. I love TMBG since 92
this is the song my anxiety sings.
My OLDER sister sent this to me today for 68th birthday , game on Grace
Send this to people on their birthday.
Someone just did, lol
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.
Reason 234 to be worried all the time, thanks guys.
@Nathan Strauch _You have failed me for the last time commander_

I am now thirteen and woke up to this song
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
Happy Birthday guy from mr Scotts class!
@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...
This is the song we sing on birthdays in house monkeypaw. God damn if you can't laugh at yourself, you can't laugh.
5 people don't like being reminded of the rate at which time passes.

@Smart1033 post it on all my friend's FB on their b-day. I get a lot of responses back saying that I am wierd but they all love it.
I love this song!!! ...but for some reason the video reminded me of Sylar from Heros... I think it's the clocks and the glasses. lol
@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.

@rinnin If you'd actually care to give the song a listen, you'd know it's about how close to death we are.
