This has been playing in a continuous loop in my head since '89.

You gotta understand, the 90s actually started in the 80s. At least that is what TMBG, RHCP and REM told me. Thank you MTV's 120 Minutes.

[@MarriedToLetsPlay]

Easily one of my favorite TMBG songs of all time. It's amazing how nearly every album released has "one of my favorites" even after listening to you guys for 20 years.

[@JKTube]

+MarriedToLetsPlay: I've been listening to them for some 30 years, ever since I saw the video for "Don't Let's Start" on Weird Al Yankovic's "AL TV" special back in 1988.

[@Realwessharpe]

Wait, their channel is HOW OLD? And NOW they upload Ana Ng? Lol, They Might be Procrastinators.

[@zacharymorin5696]

I know right! What took them so long?

[@Watcher863]

+KaBlamBandicoot64 This seems to be a reupload, there's a version from 2013 on the channel. It doesn't have the clip, though.

[@TestSubjectMacHoshi]

for real though! I thought the same thing!!

[@joshwoodward]

I literally wore out my TMBG video compilation VCR tape back in the 90s. So many happy memories of this one. :)

[@aidaneye4018]

I had one as well until my VCR died with it inside. I smashed the VCR trying to get out. I might have been the worst possible way to try and fix it.

[@tubeboob]

1989 all over again, will never forget seeing this on MTV and knowing I'd discovered a band with profound meaning to my life. Saw The Pixies around this time, how could we know the ways in which such music provides solace over the decades???

[@jrpipik]

Finally I can support TMBG by watching the Ana Ng video on their channel rather than others'. Ana Ng = best thing.

As many times as I’ve heard this song, I’ve never actually really listened to the lyrics until now. “Everything sticks until it goes away And the truth is we don't know anything.” Thanks for posting!

[@Vileplume87]

I just realized that the "Water spirals the wrong way out the sink" line references the coriolis effect with how water spins in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere they might be geniuses!!

[@dragonheart81vids]

one of my favourite TMBG songs ever made...

[@FunnyFany]

Finally an official video. Finally I can support the band while I break the replay button.

[@nibnob9]

right click, loop

[@alexcarter8807]

Oh fucking hell this song is epic. I've paid my dues and busking with trumpet and after years of sounding like shit and slogging away I finally started to develop a "mature" tone, and found a busking honeypot location, and was starting to make some real money. And you know what? People would compliment me on my playing but they couldn't tell me what song I was playing. And I stuck with fairly well-known materials. "It's not what you say, it's how you say it" very much applies. Trumpet is too goddamn hard to play so I am having a go at being a singer with a uke or something to give my hands something to do and I will feel I have conquered the world if I can pull off singing this masterpiece.

[@louisaruth]

nice... i also switched from trumpet to uke. having much more fun now. good luck to you!

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. Genesis 6 This band is about the "Nephilim" ruling our world, and all of their lyrics are "as in the days of Noah" End Times.

[@SnowLeopardSL]

No. The band's name derives from a movie about a guy who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes, the title of which is a comparison of the title character to Don Quixote.
