***** Ah right, I understand. I was sure he hadn't said it, they never use that kind of language in their albums. Be careful of their live shows though, I hear they're more lax about that kinda thing.
Shane Smith I'd rather not attempt a heroic rescue that culminates in getting gored by a wild animal. You can go right ahead, though. Get video of that too.
It's like Robin Hood: Men in Tights. It's way better than the Kevin Costner crap. But the fact that the Kevin Costner version exhists makes the Mel Brooks version even better.
It was awesome seeing you guys do this live last month in New York. I don't think anyone was expecting it, but the audience really seemed to dig it, (myself included). Fantastic as always
I love how TMBG's cover version reveals the fundamental silliness of the original song: "Hey, I was supposed to be getting money from you, but now you're getting money from me! Unfair!"
This cover is brilliant. Not only is it great musical, but I love the contrast of a song originally by a group of black women being covered by a group of white men.
@@gwen8352: Well, this was done out of genuine enthusiasm and respect for the original, as opposed to that racist piece of shit Pat Boone watering down black artists' songs in the 1950s for his racist piece of shit audience.
Can we please change this video. This is literally a buck who can't escape from a pool, keeping himself moving so he doesn't fall asleep because he'll drown, and it's basically a horror movie.
This song is one in a series of silly songs from the 90s that show how far fallen people of either sex have fallen. ua-cam.com/video/Pli_XbWMOoE/v-deo.htmlm50s I think Mr. Vonnegut explains things best here.
TMBG homage to Beyoncé? Ok, i get it, she's great. I also get that these covers are fan requests... ...but c'mon, guys! What makes TMBG great is your untethered creativity! We all hit slumps, and i don't expect a new song each week...not even every year... I do, however, celebrate each original song. Wishing you zen and creativity, BSpirko
Beth Spirko I don't like the original of this that much and I don't like TMBGs version of Tubthumpin' anymore than I like the original. Some reason that song just drove me up the wall.
Marquise Livian this song can be interpreted as "girls, marry a rich guy and be dependent on him." That's a horrible message! my husband, however, points out that Beyonce lives a complicated life. He thinks this is about her firing her accountant. (LOL!)
Beth Spirko I think that "bills" in the chorus are referencing to the bills accumulated from a guy spending her money, so the song is more about "Find someone who can at least pay for himself".
I never knew that I needed to hear Flans say "Baller" but apparently I did.
***** He...what? I know he didn't in the album version.
***** Ah right, I understand. I was sure he hadn't said it, they never use that kind of language in their albums.

Just like I needed to hear Linnelle complaininng about someone using his car and cell phone.
They Might Beyonce
David Neill Heh, Jonathan Colton's cover of this one is pretty good too.
+Ari Schwartz They might be Coulton.
Epic
Absolutely Bills Bills Bills mood
They said this is a permanent addition to their repertoire because they had difficulty learning and memorizing it lol
It's weird just how well this works. This almost feels like it would've fit right in on The Else.
The Elk
Seeing them play this live is something truly amazing
This was so amazing and unexpected live.
PogieJoe jealous
+PogieJoe true
I was there too. So great.
They Might Bill Giants
I'm really enjoying the gritty sound of the Dial-A-Song songs.
They Might Be Destiny's Child
Stop complaining about bills and save that deer!
Shane Smith he's just waiting for his swim lesson to start.
Shane Smith I'd rather not attempt a heroic rescue that culminates in getting gored by a wild animal. You can go right ahead, though. Get video of that too.
hotdogagua He is giving the swim lesson to all that are ready to learn.
Shane Smith
Pool deer ain't cheap.
+Shane Smith that deer be triflin'. He should have paid his autopool rescue bills.
Fun song!!! I like it!!! Keep it up Johns!!!
Love that the visuals have nothing to do with the song. Love that you're still doing that.
They should cover more modern R&B or pop songs like this.
Gets really heavy near end, just like monthly finances do!!
I'm OBSESSED with this!! So good!
ImPatience AmI me too
Now I want to hear Beyonce covering Istanbul Not Constantinople.
Conway79 Better yet, Particle Man
How about E eats Everything? That'd be... interesting.
the tmbg version is itself a cover
She could do a good version of Birdhouse In Your Soul too probably.
@@Donut-Eater Yes, but the original is a really boring song!
Potentially controversial opinion: I think this is better than the original
It's like Robin Hood: Men in Tights. It's way better than the Kevin Costner crap. But the fact that the Kevin Costner version exhists makes the Mel Brooks version even better.
It was awesome seeing you guys do this live last month in New York. I don't think anyone was expecting it, but the audience really seemed to dig it, (myself included). Fantastic as always
it's like you guys wrote this. i never heard it when it was popular. i'm so amazed. stuck in my head. lol.
This is an awesome version of this song.
absolutely bills bills bills mood
*I WAS 10 SECONDS AGO WHEN I HAD NO IDEA TMBG COVERED A DESTINY'S CHILD SONG HELP ME-*
the fact that they did this is so funny
Haha I remember JoCo's cover of this song, I don't know which one I like better.
Bucks, bucks, bucks
+Morgenmuffels That cannot be why they used this footage....
this is so funny i love it so much
Dial-A-Song is nearly half way over o_o
I love it, but I wish we would have got a studio version instead of just the A.V. Club version.
I love how TMBG's cover version reveals the fundamental silliness of the original song: "Hey, I was supposed to be getting money from you, but now you're getting money from me! Unfair!"
Someone had to expose this song for what it is, and They Might Be Giants were the best ones for the job. Weird Al could have done it.
i love this music video lol
If there was a channel that just posted this video every day I'd subscribe. I'd subscribe to this song. I love it.
This cover is brilliant. Not only is it great musical, but I love the contrast of a song originally by a group of black women being covered by a group of white men.
Some might say it's appropriation. We can just laugh at those losers though.

@@gwen8352not one person has ever said it’s appropriation 😂
@@shrimpshufflr7745 I'll be the first
LOL!! Awesome!!!
the deer in the pool is cracking me up
this version reminds me of a teenage boy mad at his mom for cutting him off lol
The good stuff
a classic
can't wait to see Destiny's Child Child in Branson, MO
Dude, that guy is having the time
This is brilliant. All they had to do was select the right song to cover, and ta-da, instantly funny.
agreed!
Funny? How is this funny?
Oh deer!
YAAAASSSS!!! GO AWFFFF!!!!!
Did anyone help the moose?
+Modern Life Survivalist Granted you are asking the right questions but I'd say it's more like a deer as opposed to a moose
what ever it was its dead by now
I like this cover way more than the original
Im sure thay do.But He looks so happy.Just feed him.!!:)
#sadfordeer
The automobills line suddenly seems deep instead of supremely stupid.
Because men are saying it? Love TMBG, love this cover. The original is iconic
Can we please change this video. This is literally a buck who can't escape from a pool, keeping himself moving so he doesn't fall asleep because he'll drown, and it's basically a horror movie.
How does a deer end up in a pool anyway?
100th!
They Might be Bill Collector
Ohhh no!
All the single dollars
Maaaaan what does it say that I didn't know this was a Destiny's Child song
This is WAY better than the real song.
Pic unrelated
Heh heh heh. Deer.
This song is one in a series of silly songs from the 90s that show how far fallen people of either sex have fallen.

I think Mr. Vonnegut explains things best here.
Destiny's Child brought me to not go there and stay here.
I'm scared that if I click 'like' I will get a bunch of recs for r'n'b stuff.
is this real or a parody
Kind of a bit of both.
Ha! Ha! Ha!🤣🤣🤣🤣 A rock version of the classic by Destiny's Child.
:20 Nobody:
Elon Musk:🤣😂

Beth Spirko This was done in coordination with The AV Club's Undercover series just like their "Tubthumper" cover a few years back.
Beth Spirko I don't like the original of this that much and I don't like TMBGs version of Tubthumpin' anymore than I like the original. Some reason that song just drove me up the wall.

Beth Spirko The AV club footage suggested to me they were being pretty ironic about it anyway. But yes Beyonce is a pretty multifaceted person!
Beth Spirko I think that "bills" in the chorus are referencing to the bills accumulated from a guy spending her money, so the song is more about "Find someone who can at least pay for himself".
How delightfully? unmelodic..
this is so bad
Not really.
It’s actually good
