They Might Be Giants - The Guitar (BEST QUALITY Official Music Video) 

WE MAKING IT OUT OF THE SILVER SPACESHIP WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥‼‼

I love how They Might Be Giants consider it a perfectly normal move to place an instrumental breakdown in the middle of the song which features an auctioneer rattling off prices. Love them so much.

The base line lives in my head rent-free.

So basically the lion family took its cubs to space. Lion needed to make a call back to the jungle but one of the cubs was playing their guitar too loud. Papa lion couldn't figure out which cub was playing because they all brought guitars. Bur it sounds like it might be Jim because he's one of the better of the cubs. When the song says turn it up I can't hear the guitar that's the actually the cubs point if view on why the guitar was so loud Eventually they get fed up and fly back down to the jungle and auction off Jim to another lion family. Thats the weird bit that sounds like an auctioneer. Thats why the last one says the lion waves goodbye. Hope this helps 🙏

Look at them young boys.

ironically I listen to this song for the saxophone

I bought this CD after serving in Desert Storm. I overplayed this CD back in the day over and over. Loved the colorful CD case it came with. Oh, and Laura Cantrell is pretty.

Check out that bass sax! Way cool!

thanks for giving us the chords 2:03 to 2:10 lol

I remember thinking this song was weird as a kid but now i realize its an absolute bop

I've been wondering this for a couple decades now. Was it a coincidence that, in 1992, They Might Be Giants and R.E.M. both released songs that were covers of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"......but weren't really exact covers of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight?"

1:30-1:38 is absolutely hilarious for some reason

This video is like air guitar, but with guitars

Linnell on Bass 2020.

Musically I will always consider this one of the greatest songs ever written. Like the way some parts sound bad so other parts sound absolutely satisfying! But then...that means all of it is good...

I have a postcard from 1992 that's a photo collage of the boys (as a four piece band) that is shot in the same kitchen that Laura is sitting in

i love that hair

oh god, john L. hair !!! they were so young here lol

I like the part after the bridge when they are showing chords but it clearly not what he’s playing. That must have been really frustrating back in the day to kids tryna learn the song.

HEY -TMBG, 1992

This made me happy today.

All these classics in 1080!

God damn it I love these guys

I'll never get used to Linnel on bass.

i appreciate so much all you do for us. thank you, Particle Men!

Thank you, video, for teaching me how to play this song lol

We were all so young then. This is one album I specifically remember buying at Sam Goody at the mall. Time are so different now.

This put a much needed smile on my face!

Oh finally. They upload something from ‘Direct From Brooklyn’ in high quality.

This is great. Its like when George Lucas re-released Star Wars. Except he didn't ruin it this time.

One thing I like about it is that for most of the song, like the guitar is an equally important part of thr arrangement but I really wouldn't say its one of the key players (the bass line, vocals, horn parts all feel like they get priority in the mix)

Oh I would love if they remade some of the Direct From Brooklyn Videos now. I mean of course these ones are classic It would just be so cool.

Aaah! Love this!! So happy I got to see it premiere XD TMBG will always be one of my favorite bands of all time! Grew up listening to them lol

Does anyone know if JL actually plays bass, like, at all? I like to think he can play any musical instrument you put in his hands.

Wow this is great! I hope we get to see remastered versions of the other videos too!

Masterpiece!

You’re back omgggggg

i have a mustang bass form 1980!

Man They Might Be Giants Made that Song Guitar and It Has Day-O and The Lion Sleeps Tonight! 😮

Could be Jim, but it's not a certainty.

This song make me so sad. I was in a band in college that covered this and my friend/singer/roommate passed away a few years ago. His name was Jim

A song about the guitar in which the guitar is not prominently featured. smh.

1080p? Well, just look at you fancy, modern fellows! Very nice. :)

I always assumed this was from one of the later released kids albums. I should probably get around to listening to Apollo 18.

I love this video so much!

The Original Guitar Army.

Yeah new tmbg vid!

3:19 The Blues is #1!!!!! #JSBX

It's me!! Lol!!

I know these guys manage to hide some easy to miss political and social commentary behind naive sounding songs, but it can be uncovered with a little thought. I've listened to this song dozens of times, however, and I've read over the lyrics and I can't make a bit of sense out of this one in terms of face value or subtext.

I'm still confused. Somehow, this seems to be what The Durutti Column is always warning about, regarding Paris & Strasbourg 1968, and all that? Nice song, though.

Anyone else here because they saw a bass sax in the thumbnail?

It was Dan, actually

Hey

My dog doesn't like this song. I think it's pretty good though

🚀🦁👋

Bops keep dropping

Yessss

No dislikes. Impressive!

So light. Nothing harmful in any lyrics. Thanks!

2:45 Could someone translate whatever the hell they're saying at this part? I really feel like this part is crucial to be sung whenever this is jamming.

What kind of guitar is flansberg using? It looks like a danelectro longhorn.

My favorite band has made another hit

At 1:30 flans looks like the equivalent to gman in hl2 e1

Hey! It's Laura!

Ok, who is the pretty girl that keeps staring at my soul?

Bloodclot. These guys are too funny

Who's that playing?

3:26 That's Glenn Mercer right?

4th like 1st post!

Rare tmbg hmm

Gamer

i dont really like the song, came for linnell's hair

I love this song, but I will never understand the thinking behind that grating instrumental break.
