They Might Be Giants - I'll Be Haunting You (official video)

Starring Adoni Maropis and Carlos Ortega. Directed by Paul & Mike Swiatek. Produced by Shanti Whitney.

Lyrics:
flipping this one final switch I’m effectively insuring that I will be
overcoming all resistance long after my remains have been
vaporized with extreme prejudice and shot into outer space
I’ll be haunting you

need I remind you of the oath you swore in 1993?
don’t act like you don’t act like you know
why you flinch at the image of these words
that are permenantly skywritten
in the ashes of my incinerated legacy
I’ll be haunting you
I’ll be haunting you
I’ll be haunting you as you are staring into outer space

my absence has been weaponized, the empty sockets where my eyes
are swiveling to recognize and pin you down
I’m the ringing in your ears rewriting all your fears,
and you’re the only one who hears the sound
the tell-tale beating floor kicks on this unreleased remix
that rises like a phoenix from the ground
I’ll be haunting you
I’ll be haunting you

I’ll be haunting you as you take in your outer spacial view
when you look up you’ll remember me and then I’ll be haunting you

And this is why you should pick up as many hobbies as possible, you never know when they could come in handy.

here's something interesting: the actor, Adoni Maropis, actually IS a champion ping pong player

Man when death pretends to dig a grave, that's just cruel taunting.

No words will ever come close to describing the love I have for this video. It's magical. I love it to bits and whenever I feel down, I'll watch it. It's just such a perfect video and the lyrics, his voice. God.

[Ashmore]

"My absence has been weaponized" I must find a way to work that into a conversation!

[matheussberant]

not ashamed to admit it: I watch this music video every single day at least once.

As good as these TMBG Dial-A-Song songs often are, sometimes the video is just truly fantastic. I don't know if they're using the same production company each time, or as it would seem to me, reaching out and finding fantastic new talent. Either way, Bravo.

[ThatIckyGuy]

The more I listen to Dial-A-Song, the more my favorite switches. This is my most recent favorite. It made a good Halloween song this year. "My absence has been weaponized." They sure do have a good way with words.

[lecoffeebandit]

Just continue Dial-A-Song into 2016, we won't mind! But seriously please don't stop...

[LimeyLassen]

I can't express how great this is.

[gunthandthewunderlichers]

They might be giants have only gotten better

[scrowfunk]

i love the idea of being able to reclaim your life by beating the grim reaper in trivial games like ping pong or chess

[starlimitz]

I need to learn how to play ping-pong and chess asap

[davey]

This band put a lot of effort in these 52 music videos.

[NxDoyle]

With the possible exception of Charles 'Black Francis' Thompson, I know of no other writer of pop/rock music who is possessed of the ability to write sub-3 minute 'epics'. And Linnell is a much better lyricist in terms of consistency. This is not the only reason to elect him President in 2020, but it's enough of a reason.

[Doug-muev]

This music video had a more interesting plot and was better acted than the last year’s worth of Netflix original series… bravo!

[jillfurniss]

This is the best music video I've ever seen

[the_algo_rhythm]

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.

[alphanovember]

This is one of the best TMBG music videos ever!

[Skawrod]
