Lyrics:
I am a man of honor and I am mortified
By your litany of slurs
Such a lot of words
Oh dear
Madam, I challenge you to a duel
My second warned you to be careful
That bell can’t be unrung
Madam, you mistake me for a bumpkin
It’s clear you’re yelling something
Oh, please don’t burst a lung
You are an unfit rival. By spirits taught to sing
But a tune so twisted now
Like all that’s sweet’s gone sour
Oh dear
Madam, you mistake me for a fool
Yes, your little dog may hold the pistols
Although he seems high strung
Madam, I challenge you to a duel
My second warned you to be careful
That bell can’t be unrung
Can’t be unrung
Can’t be unrung

I'm blown away. I expected these Dial-A-Songs to be sketches, maybe 30 seconds of sound experiments. Instead we're getting full blown songs in the TMBG tradition. Wow!
not only is it a good song, i always like a good rotoscoping!
I think the word "madam" works really well in this song, both rhythmically and melodically; it works musically.
dogdrovenorth might be cos it's a palindrome. That is a reference lol
You guys are still the finest band out there. Excellent work, as always :)
Week 2: Very interesting choice of hectic lyrics composed by a lush, comforting tune. Also, that's the first time I've heard the word "bumpkin" in several years, so thank you for the unexpected nostalgia. xD
I thought he said "pumpkin"! What's a bumpkin anyways? (I'm 15 BTW)
It's an old word for fool
Doesn't The Spine have a song using the word "Bumpkin?"
zoo804 I think it does.
@@zoo804 I thought it did, but checking the wiki, the lyric (it's Prevenge, for the record) is “calling Mr. Pupkin, whatever that means.
"Madam, you take me for a bumpkin" I love it.
I fantasize singing this song to all the rude people I had to deal with in customer service.
While this is an excellent song, Glove Slap by the B-52s as features on the Simpsons may be a better song in this instance.
the idea of building the foils right before your duel... funney
This sounds like Weird Al doing a Billy Joel parody
As a person named Duel, this is a Banger
you have a great name
like, legally named duel?? if so that's awesome
I love this song
I am a man of honor
And I am mortified by your litany of slurs
Such a lot of words
Oh, dear
Madam, I challenge you to a duel
My second warned you to be careful
That bell can't be unrung
Madam, you mistake me for a bumpkin
It's clear you're yelling something
Oh please, don't burst a lung
You are an unfit rival
By spirits taught to sing
But a tune so twisted now
Like all that's sweet's gone sour
Oh, dear
Madam, you mistake me for a fool
Yes, your little dog may hold the pistols
Although he seems high-strung
Madam, I challenge you to a duel
My second warned you to be careful
That bell can't be unrung
Can't be unrung
Can't be unrung

As always, TMBG are creative, pushing boundaries and constantly growing as artists. Well done!
Beautiful cords, beautiful vocals, beautiful bass beautiful drums, just beautiful!
the pen is mightier than the sword, but the gun is quicker
What's mighty is the hand that knows when to use the pen or use the sword
Wow! I can only imagine the long nights that must have went into putting this music video animation together in time. Another great song to start out 2015, fellas.
I could never get tired of the videos they churn out. Just unreal the ethic these guys have. Just the best... :)
This song is so much better with the video.
The animation reminds me of that one part of Yellow Submarine they play Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
This video reminds me very much of the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds video from Yellow Submarine. Glean is definitely my favorite TMBG album so far.
Wow, these visuals are amazing! So much movement and life! I'm gonna check out more of William Shum's stuff out now.
Are there going to be 52 totally different music videos? That's insane-ity.
This is the kind of TMBG song that got me hooked when I was a kid.
If all the Dial A Song pieces are this good, this is going to be a very good year.
this is my favirote song yet to come out of dial-a-song project keep it up
Tuesdays are quickly becoming the highlight of my week. I can't wait to see what else you guys have in store!
This is astounding. I love the Dial-A-Songs so far!
Love the gentle Flans songs.
TMBG! So glad this team is still putting out songs.
Tuesday just might be my favorite day of the week for 2015. Thanks TMBG!
Very charming video. Love the animation!
TMBG on a roll with these DAS songs
Whoever's doing the videos, they are great. We not only get Dial-A-Song, but we get weekly videos as well.
excellent as always. 50 more togo!!!
the beginning piano bit reminds me of the Beatles "You Know my Name"
Nice! I'm loving the new Dial-A-Song!
Again, great stuff!
This is a beautiful song.
Oh... dear...
I've been binge watching Deadwood and listening to this goes with it perfectly!
Can’t believe this is 7 years old
9 now
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older
time! is marching on!
For the official only having 116 comments as of now I feel is a travesty
do you by any chance have watched Revolutionary Girl Utena
UTENAAAAAAA
T-posing sidecar boys
Such a lovely Flansong. DAS Week Two did not disappoint.
This makes me so happy ! ❤️
love the song and the art!
zine aesthetic on point
Love this one
Great job!
Love it!
That's pretty amazing
beautiful style.
Thank you Flans. My ear holes are happy.
this song describes my relationship with one of my housemates right now
Has it gotten any better? I'm in a bit of a shitshow myself, at the moment
The gun scenes look like they're from Barry Lyndon.
Nice one!
The visuals are incredible, really, very good. Song-wise, the piano is really nice and the echoey vocals are also great. Melody wise, personally, the chorus is kind of weak, but also kind of ok, it's probably one of those second time listen ones, but hey, the verse right at the start was really, very good!

And only fifty more to go!
This year.
any chance you'll be putting some of these dial-a-song's on the podcast? or is the plan to release a 2015 dial-a-song album?
First. I enjoyed this one. Very nice and calm. Cool animation. Very nice.
coooool
I love this video .. song sounds great.. im an fledgling animator what's the process you use to create this wizardry! ....Stop frame, lightbox, Scanning?? Hope you can help T:)
i know this is a super old comment, but seeing as you never got a reply, i'll answer as best i can. well, i don't know the whole process, but this was definitely done using rotoscoping, so i'd presume the actual images were placed under the drawing paper and then lightbox'd through and traced/drawn over.
Thanks for the reply! :)
What kind of the sword?
Ah bol I think it’s a foil
Shardblade.
Could be foil or epee' it's hard to tell from a cartoon.
1.5 speed. try it

Sort of an Andy Kaufman-esque thing to challenge a woman to a duel.
Pistols or rapiers would be most appropriate, as shown here. Larger swords are fine too if she's trained, women just need to swing more from the hip.
Yo made me mess up between Andy Andy Charley Kaufman
I see a lot of women out here challenging people to duels in the last year and a half tho
Looking for a YuGiOh meme brought me hear
She got challenged to a duel...
AND THEN THE KIDS TOOK OOOOVERRR!
0:12 for the Kendrick sample
wait what which Kendrick song
Grahams. It’d be extremely funny but doubt it’s true
@@jacquiecotillard9699 me neither unless it was pitched up or down.
Perfect theme for a heel Jack Gallagher.
Well, this comment aged like milk. Oh well.
Challenge accepted.
*bang*
The title is much cooler than the song itself. Not bad, though
I watched dog circus on PF
me too in...
Well of Duckfriends. Lil' wat.
Ah!!! New! Joy!
This one goes out to the karens!
Mortyfied
I hope she won.
Why?
This sounds like fucking steven universe meets tmbg
Everybody is The Doctor NO
weirdly i can totally picture pearl singing this
When You Meet A Karen.
