    I can’t scrape this song out of my ears. Great stuff.

    There is another video where they actually (obviously) choreographed the guitar move so Linnel ducks just in time to avoid getting Flansburghed. Which one was that.?.. so many manic moves.

    I think I’m gonna show my friends Eraser head, but randomly cut to this halfway through it and cut back like nothing ever happened. is that random enough?

    I can see that happening xD

    And I got a thumbs down on my comment… I feel the need to defend myself now. Nothing negative implied, I adore the flailing, as well as the Johns. Just impressed that they can do so in such close vicinity, and with such force, without landing a left hook on each other at least once by accident.

    maybe they did hit eachother, it just isnt shown o_O

  16. pixelthedot says:

    I’ve always …
    I’ve always wondered what the director told them to do for this video.

    “Just flail around, and try not to smack one another.”

    It’s a wonder neither had a concussion by the end of the shoot.

    I totally agree. TMBG has been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid.

    but… saying they’re the “poop” isn’t exactly a flattering compliment. Haha. I get what you mean though. Long live real music.
