Lyrics for the ages

[@meredithwilson6387]

ive done it.... ive stolen my dads music taste

[@PashPaw]

Wait, that's not normal?

[@kikiscosmos4781]

I have slowly too.

[@tillbrainman6049]

WOW. That was unbelievable!!! I played trumpet for many years and that was a masterclass. The highest note at the end is so difficult to play and nail it, in tune on time and with perfect confidence. WOW!!!!

[@kevinjackson890]

Watching this absolute madman fucking dual wielding his brass on stage like some magnificent warrior-bard may have been the highlight of seeing you guys in Minneapolis. Straight up amazing.

[@ericfurman5227]

Kevin Jackson dudes a beast. I was fortunate enough to see him in mid-2018. I saw TMBG again on New Years 2019 in Philly

[@tnaoro]

YAHOO!

[@fskfhg]

Oh, that's hot. That's hot.

[@aminedude]

I love listening to all the different live variations of this song

[@apb_134]

I still can't believe I actually met him!

[@leemiller2465]

Great rendition LOVE the trumpet solo at the beginning. WOW

[@letitbeknown8126]

They Might Be Good
They Might Be Great
They Might Be Giants
LET'S CELEBRATE!!!

[@alousypeach]

Kurt goes absolutely mad on Dr. Worm

[@JasonBeam7]

This is awesome. I've heard this song thousands of times but I've never heard it sound this fresh.

[@Tonixe86]

I was just listening to the new live record and saying to myself "damn, this is a killer version !"

[@zakbax]

Where could I hear this new live record?

[@harryblock321]

There are any number of other good versions of this song before, but this one just goes absolutely nuts. The bass, the drums, everybody gets to go crazy. Wow.

[@energywine]

Curt was an excellent, EXCELLENT addition to the I Like Fun tour, I hope you guys have him back for future shows. Thanks for Dial a Song 2018, and thanks for a great tour!

[@theunwelcome]

holy smokes, that outro!

[@asr070568]

The man can probably chop an apple in half with his lips.

[@locho41]

God, I wish someday I can watch you live guys, both are giants
Greetings from Argentina

[@cstuewe]

That man can really blow that horn!

[@nanotechnicianhq]

I know this song, from long long time ago, where cows where short and cats where bros.

[@bustalamo]

You could say there was a..
Town of Cows..
Maybe a CowTown

[@joran95]

This was probably my favourite song to hear live

[@kornobi_3165]

Curt!!!!! I saw this tour 3 times cause of the work he did on TMBG classics... what a year! Thank you!

[@SilverChauffeur]

[@johnwhite4080]

[@josephbradshaw4092]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

[@MisterAppleEsq]

Everyone loved this over in London.

[@imrustyokay]

Nice! Istanbul needs some trumpets!
Also, one more left ;_;

[@theworldaccordingto4555]

Fabulous!

[@Nardypants]

Was thrilled to see you guys in MTL. Do it again!

[@merietnext9183]

That Montreal concert was something special.

[@darlindodan3603]

Electrifying performance this is

[@AirborneSurfer]

Y'all gotta book more west coast shows! I always miss your ONE LA show! 😰

[@yagmuradam238]

Was the best 👏🏼😌👍🏻

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

Fun! Thanks guys!

[@heather19515]

I absolutely love every version of this you’ve done. But next? You should do a barbershop quartet version of one your songs, like the style of the original

[@shasbucks]

Lovely.

[@benaaronmusic]

Oh YEAH!

[@hahaseab]

Just, wow.

[@mellularphone]

Where was this recorded? Out of curiosity.

[@djfitz13]

If I had to guess...... I think it's the Louisville show

[@pichass9337]

His voice sounds just the same Yeats later

[@BebxOfficial]

The trumpet got used well.

[@vodderville]

Everyone loved this in Manchester even the Scousers, that's me and me mate Flip

[@efegurkannn]

Why don't you play this song in Istanbul? :(

[@brandonglenn794]

4 people don't like fun.

[@user-xu8gq5wm1h]

Come to oslo!

[@user-xu8gq5wm1h]

Or Stockholm i could take the train

[@funkytraveler]

@ParticleMen was this is Berlin? I actually recorded video of this. I can send it your way!

[@sonerbektas939]

Turkey

[@alainart]

Is next week the last dial a song?

[@ernzilla1533]

Hi johns

[@cyberpunkzombie9461]

Aural Sax indeed!!

[@MrTayloreh]

How has there never been a tmbg live album????

[@TheAskTrixieChannel]

Severe Tire Damage, At Large, Almanac, First Album Live, Flood Live In Australia, The Spine Hits The Road... where have YOU been? XD

[@RichardGowland]

There's been at least a couple. Off the top of my head, Severe Tire Damage, The First Album Live, and then Flood that's available via here: www.theymightbegiants.com/free-downloads/

[@PogieJoe]

There have been! Check it out. :)

[@vodderville]

But how has there never been a live VHS? Or whatever the kids use these days?

[@scowell]

Sounds like a valve trombone at first!

[@CarlGehrman]

That's what it is. Curt dual-wields those horns like a true professional.

[@johnmccullough7539]

At least in NY he was switching between valve trombone and trumpet through the whole song.

[@DrScienceBear]

It IS a valve trombone! On the recent tour, Curt held a valve trombone in one hand and a trumpet in the other, switching back and forth between the two for his solo intro. :)

[@ctsean]

Anyone know which show this was recorded at? unrelated - what kind of monsters would downvote this?

[@casangaming3125]

These are the people whom made hot dog. From Mikey mouse clubhouse

[@jaffesalad]

Master: plays masterfully
Audience: can't stop ruining this with drunkard hooting

[@kdphotos4691]

Thank you, and of course there's no way to filter the caterwauling out... 😑

[@FunnyFany]

Neither of you would survive a concert in Brazil

[@kdphotos4691]

@@FunnyFany - What a dumb thing to assume. People can tolerate a lot of things. That doesn't mean they like it. Grow up.

[@miabullafaloni1312]

As somebody who has performed on stage, lemme tell you, the performer works off of the audience's energy. Only the most pompous blowhards want an audience that watches in silent reverence of their work.

[@jackraymond5256]

he had two trombones. TWO TROMBONES. if you watched a man dual wielding trombones you'd lose your shit too mkay

[@whizzlepop]

Oh please don't do Jazz (again).
