Some wiki talk reminded me of the existence of this very very silly, very very great song and I think more people need it in their lives

There are some forces that cannot be tamed. And some things which can only be possessed at the ultimate price. …“Hey, come back…I just need to talk to you”…In a world where the only game is getting and having, the one man who will stop at nothing to have what every man wants…“Here, kitty kitty kitty!”…is the one who finds himself…caught in his own deadly trap. “Hey… you scratched me.” “Rairrr!” “AIIEEE!” Michael Douglas… “I don’t know who you are… or WHAT you are… but…” “Meow?” “No! No! Jesus!” “KA-BLOOOM!!” …In a They Might Be Giants picture…Tigerella.

That about-to-unleash-chaos expression

I fucking WISH, because I very much need to see this as well! But we must all roll our minds back to the old old days of The Year 2000, when digital cameras were very new and almost no one had them and when they did they used fucking floppy disks (really!). I have some short bits of choppy, low-quality videos from early-2000s era shows but sadly this is not one of them, all I have is the picture I used for the thumbnail here, but the picture alone is...really something so I am extremely grateful for the existence of that at least. Here it is in its full glory:

So if you’ve ever wondered what it sounds like when The Johns swap keyboard and guitar duties, it sounds like this. 11/23/00, in NYC.
