Ok so I think I'll add Circular Karate Chop by They Might Be Giants to my Jondami playlist. Not sure it fits that well, but it's one of my favorite songs.

Lyrics:

Never took a class before in

Self defense

Never looked at you before with

Common sense

Gird myself for a short sharp shock

Trace myself in sidewalk chalk

I'll shut my mouth, you do the talking

You're so proud of your circular karate chop

Afternoons in the mirror doing pop and lock

From the junk shop to the truck stop to the big big top

Detention hall, name on the wall and

Locker dent

Never mind the withered words of

Encouragement

Pulling off my anorak

Dumping out my black backpack

Take what you like

I'll keep on walking

You're so proud of your circular karate chop

Afternoons in the mirror doing pop and lock

From the junk shop to the truck stop to the big big top

You're still bragging about your telescoping roundhouse kick

You're still looking for your Commodore's old control stick

So myopic, stay on topic

And this world is sick

Three rules from your sensei:

One: Outsource your feelings.

Two: Limit your training to be task-specific.

Three: Assign regret to those accountable.

Detention hall, name on the wall and

Locker dent

Never mind the withered words of

Encouragement

Pulling off my anorak

Dumping out my black backpack

Take what you like

I'll keep on walking

You're so proud of your circular karate chop

Afternoons in the mirror doing pop and lock

From the junk shop to the truck stop to the big big top

You're still braggin' about your telescoping roundhouse kick

You're still looking for your Commodore's old control stick

So myopic, stay on topic

Man, this world is sick

transcript:

JF: so to wrap things up, we’ll end things fittingly with a very short song off our brand-new album, "Nanobots". this song is called "Hive Mind". it's sex- suh- it's six seconds long.

JL: it's sexy.

JF: it's - six seconds long. [JL laughing]

JL: you wanna say it again?

JF: should I do that--?

JL: -- I don't know if that was clean.

JF: should I do that- should I do that whole thing--?

JL: just say the ex- the end again.

JF: OK. it's six seconds lon- god, that's [fucking] hard to say.

I think that John Linnell of They Might be Giants is neat :)

trouble awful devil evil 🦇

I think basically what I love about many tmbg songs that use the defamiliarisation technique is how that style of writing makes me feel like something that's only sort of aware of what humans are, listening to music made from the perspective of something else trying to relate to them

Figured Tumblr might enjoy my embroidery hat ^^

I love the nanobots album by they might be giants cause it goes from

"look at these little guys go!"

"damn your head is on fire"

" black ops are horrifying monsters and kill people who oppose American ideology"

"woah girl you're too tall!"

The two types of Linnell girls/other genders

"Omg he's so cool/smart/funny/pretty Him and Flans are such good friends and I love their music sooooo much"

And,

"I want to [Redacted] him like a [Redacted] [Redacted] with a [Redacted] and [Redacted]. He is also old now, and I don't like/ am absolutely obsessed with that."

And then Flans girls are all

"Flans is cool :)"

fyi the johns have microscopic clones of themselves that they're sending to your house

what??? Thank you for the notice, do you think they'll fall for ant cups? Or are they too small, like bacterias? This has actually got me super scared I'm sweating so bad. How can I defend myself when they're MICROSCOPIC. It'll just be like this
