Have you seen this video?
« on: June 01, 2008, 12:02:16 PM »
One my favourite bands is They Might Be Giants (named after one of my favourite films) and their absolute best live video was removed by command of one of the US networks. I believe it's one of the early Letterman or Johnny Carson shows which had the Doc Severinson outfit as their house band.
Someone has put it back on You Tube, so take a chance to look at it before the suits take it down again.

I can't see why this would cause offence; mind you, I can't understand a word of the song!

They Might Be Giants offensive? Never!!

Vulch, it was pulled by the network because it was hugely popular (massively downloaded) and was on You Tube illegally, not because it was offensive! The original clip had an intro which set up the session really well, whereas this one cuts in after the first lyric.

I'm just glad it's back.

Me too, Malc. "Birdhouse" is not far off being my favourite song ever.
