They Might Be Giants - The Statue Got Me High (BEST QUALITY official music video) 

Finally I can see every water particle of steam coming off that coffee.

I never expected a song about worshipping a granite monolith that vaporizes people with its magical eye beams to be this much fun, but I love it

I can see every single beautiful hair on Linnel’s head

they’re taking over my life

This, Birdhouse And Don’t Let’s Start are totally the best music videos ever created. And every Direct From Brooklyn Video, but I feel like these three are just perfect.

Skateboards. Check. Astronauts. Check. Sweet Car. Check. Statues. Check. Who needs human company anyway?

This is one of my favourite songs about being possessed by an obsession related around a element of a building.

How, for over 30 years, did I not know there was a music video for this song?

The quality got hiiiiiigh The quality got hiiiiiigh The video was good But reuploaded, (is) clean and niiiice

The TMBG HD got me Hiiiiiiiiiiigh. I was already crying

Happiest song about agonizingly burning to death ever

I still think of this song every time I drive past the Sepulveda Dam.

Every album has about three Linnell songs that form part of my "The Best of Music" list. Which is why I want you to elect him President. Linnell 2020.

The Statue Got Me High! The best music video of all time! Now in 1080p! It’s so good you can see the grain(which is actually sort of intrusive. Huh.)!

When I first heard this (while living in Moscow) I pictured statues of Lenin with laser beam eyeballs...

one of the greatest songs ever written

Instant 5 stars, astronauts make every music video better.

TMBG blessin' us with these HQ jams direct from Brooklyn.

whenever i listen to apollo 18 i replay this song at least 8 times

I thought it was Halloween not Christmas

I love Apollo 18. My first show was on that tour. What an amazing album and time in the TMBG timeline.

I only found out about this songs existence this week and it's so addicting

too good to be true!!!!!!!!!!!!

How someone hasn’t made a completely different song/beat from that opening is beyond me… 👌

[Verse 1] The statue got me high The statue got me high The monument of granite Sent a beam into my eye The statue made me die The statue made me die It took my hand it killed me And it turned me to the sky [Chorus] The stone it called to me (and now I see the things the stone has shown to me) A rock that spoke a word (an animated mineral it can be heard) And though I once preferred a human being's company They pale before the monolith that towers over me [Verse 2] The statue got me high The statue got me high The truth is where the sculptor's chisel Chipped away the lie The statue made me fry The statue made me fry My coat contained a furnace Where there used to be a guy [Chorus 2] The stone it called to me (and now I see the things the stone has shown to me) A rock that spoke a word (an animated mineral it can be heard) And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair [Bridge 1 2x] And what they found Was just a statue standing Where the statue got me high [Chorus 3] And now it is your turn (your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn) The stone it calls to you (you can't refuse to do the things it tells you to) And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair [Bridge 2] And what they found Was just a statue standing Where the statue got me high And what they'll find Is just a statue standing Where the statue got you High

Those are some cool instruments.

Hey, this is where they filmed the ending of Buckaroo Bonzai

0:47 john flansburgh in the twister zone

They are so cool

TMBG is BRINGIN the HITS.

Flansy's dentist must be proud.

Anyone have any idea who the astronauts are? Must have been hired based on skateboarding skills because that's the hardest thing they had to do, and the one guy has his mask up twice but I cant figure it out

I wish I looked like JL does in this music video.

Loving this stream of higher quality TMBG videos

the chessmaster never looked better

They should perform this song in front of the Martin Luther King Jr. statue in Washington DC. It is a monument of granite that looks like it could send a beam into your eye. Phil the Cat

One of TMBGs best

The quality is high!

This is my favorite TMBG song, great to see a hd version of the video.

I’ve never seen this in this high of quality!

The quality is the best.

incredible beautiful song and beautiful boys

Where did they film this? They're video locations were always so dope.

I've heard this song before but I don't think I've ever seen the video. This is really cool!

Thank you so much.😭😭😭 I fucking love Halloween

it’s concerning how silly these two people of the same name can be over the course of 3 minutes

Love Flans' cool guy shades. Keep the HD uploads coming!

I like the hair

This song doesn't even crack my top 40 TMBG songs (not to say it isn't excellent) but I think this is their best music video

30 years ago, I was seduced by my beautiful castmate into taking her aerobics class. That gorgeous nerd used this song as part of her regular playlist, and I can't hear it now without wanting to "feel the burn!"

I don't remember this music video being so good hahahah

This always reminds me of my high-school drama class's very un-serious rendition of The Happy Prince. It was so chaotic 😂

Real art

This is the most C R I S P version of this video that I've ever seen

Now this is rock.

probably my fav music vid

i really want to make a mix of this and When Will You Die for some reason

Man this really takes me back

Look at em...all smug thinking Pluto is a planet...

Nice

10 people haven't been blessed by the almighty statue

such a banger

OMG, that was good video. The statue got me high.

Great band!

You saw!? Nifty!

What type of guitar is that? I've seen him have oddball ones over the years but cant tell the make. It's like he had use of Bo Diddley's guitar collection back then.

monument mythos theme song

live from moon

I always wanted context for this song, so i looked up the music video. I still want context for this song.

All time 2nd favourite TMBG song after Birdhouse In Your Soul

Diggin it

Man, they are so new yorker like Its crazy lol

0:40

It must have been something sculpted by Bernini.

C'mon Araki, give us a They Might Be Giants reference in JoJo Part 9, the lads deserve the honor.

Anybody know where this was filmed?

So what does this song mean, anybody?

What if i get high while watching this video.🤔

Since it's october i'm just gonna say it The whole Apollo 18 album fits perfectly with Halloween.

So... like 27 years later, and I just realize this song is a big 2001 reference -_- Well, that's humbling

I always hear "jizzle" and I wish I didn't.

At 0:00 you can see the shadow of the person who poured the coffee

🎉🎉🎉

@1:36 My name is Chills. If you're curious about what I look like in real life...

Now you just replace statue with phone.

I wonder if Arthur C. Clarke or Stanley Kubrick (or indeed Keir Dullea, whose character it actually happened to) ever heard this song.

csr

This seems quite prescient in the wake of the struggle to remove confederate monuments. It serves as both a parody of confederate supporters and a description of the killing force those statues have on the spirits of those opposed to them.

Rip Kobe

Here to boomer

Dedicated to all the confederate statues torn down this past decade (smell ya later).

I wish I could grow my hair out like Linnell's in this video.
