They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse/Istanbul (Jay Leno - HQ 60fps)

[@eblackadder3]

This was my introduction to TMBG, I saw this when it originally aired in 1990 and I bought "Flood" the next day. I've been a huge fan ever since.

Their dial a song was literally what the Internet allows nowadays. Very forward thinking.

Still amazing after all these years. The boys are in fine form, not lacking an ounce of confidence - as while goofing about with Constantinople. Ed Shaughnessy gets the beat wrong at the beginning but whatever, he kills it on the finale. Flans grins at Doc after the high note of the trumpet solo. That's entertainment!

[@evegasse6999]

What a fun performance of this song!

[@TheDas9582]

This must've been Carson. You know, when Leno filled in.

[@randyisnot]

I don't know what I feel about the clowning Leno did at the end.

I just want something to be made clear, perhaps in the description, or it can just stay in this comment. I was a bit confused about Jay Leno hosting a show prior to 1992, but this is because it's an episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, not The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jay would sub in for Johnny for some episodes. The title of the video just says Jay Leno, which is fair, because he was the host of the episode; this is not, however, his iteration of the Tonight Show.

my introduction to the bad was hearing this on tiny toon adventures.
