They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng (BEST QUALITY Official Music Video)

From They Might Be Giants' album 'Lincoln.'

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for
My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

All alone at the sixty-four World's Fair
Eighty dolls singing small girl after all
Who was at the Dupont Pavilion?
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
And in the back of the edge of hearing
These are the words the voice was repeating

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge,
I don't want the world, I just want your half

They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me)
Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)
And it sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks like a broken record
Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home)
And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know)

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow of each others majestic presence
Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

me and my friend stopped talking to eachother. then i started listening to TMBG and the moment i played this song he messaged me again

[Eddemer]

2:19 me and the boys heading to walk in the glow of each others majestic presence

[ThisIsAdamB]

Lincoln is now old enough to be president.

[KrazyKaiser]

Holy shit they are playing the card game Touring, a card game about going for a leisure drive in your car from like 1920. That is some obscure shit.

[spootymaniacs]

0:42 this dance is so stupid, i love it. im gonna dance like that from now on

[finscontingencyplan]

“They don’t need me here, and I know you’re there, where the world goes by like the humid air” is one of the most spooky, dream-like lyrics out of a lot of great contenders in their discog. It makes me nostalgic for something I can’t remember.

[floridaflamingogirl]

This is one of my all time favorite pieces of avant garde filmmaking

[eokay]

the dance at 0:42 is MESMERIZING help me

[floridaflamingogirl]

That frantic, flailing run is so fun to replicate.

[Potato-Eye]

Eating sushi right now in my hotel room watching this.... Everything reminds me of her...

[bryanbeck]

One of my all-time favorite songs ever in the history of all songs.

[maezelbop]

Last time I was this early, TMBG still used a drum machine.

[edmondsjc]

They don't need me here, and I know you're there.

[hoibsh]

These guys are full time existential detectives and part time musicians !

[floridaflamingogirl]

The Johns’ dances make them look like the little wooden figures that come out of a cuckoo clock

[davidhilse]

They're very witty. I also enjoy their use of melody. It transcends folk/pop and reaches into rarely explored children pop. It's a bold and entertaining turn on modern music.

[Viva_Reverie]

This song is fantastic, but I also gotta say I love the music video a lot too! Super inventive and has such a unique vibe going for it

[zacherysittner]

TMBG makes so many people happy. Truly amazing how many loyal fans they have.

[hauntednokia]

The first time I saw this, it changed my brain chemistry.

[ZachGerlock]

As I write this comment this song is is 36 years old. A bit older than I am.

Not sure the exact catalyst for when I became a TMBG fan, there were many avenues. Malcolm in the Middle, Homestar Runner, even Clarissa Explains it All.

So many of their songs are so meaningful to me and so deep in me. I'm probably going to have Dr Worm stuck in my head as I die, and that brings me comfort.

But this is my favorite TMBG song. I'm going to quote it in the best man speech I'm giving this week, and eventually my own wedding vows.

What really impresses me about these guys is that they're still going, decades later. They'll stop when they're dead, and that's beautiful. They will still go on to write songs that are someone's favorite, even if this one is forgotten. That's a greater power than almost anyone in history has ever had, and I'm glad I was around to experience it.
