They Might Be Giants - Burnice Lyrics

The "Oh woe is I, oh woe is I" part sounds a lot like the Christmas carol "Os pedimos posada".

which john is Lead singing

Is that RePete Offender reading a newspaper at 1:06?

I love burnice unmutated looks love the shave head with that coat

I need that dinner street scene as a print!

OwO is I

What have you done???

I like the art style of the video who did it?

David Cowles. It's always near the bottom of the video descriptions who directed the video :)

Anybody catching on to the occult references in many songs?
Particle Man is easy. Birdhouse in your Soul is a bit more difficult. Nanobots isn't occult but just very aware. TMBG knows their stuff.

DUCK AND COVER

This is so sweet I love it

You think she'd get along with Jackie the Clipper?

D, world destruction

jrpipik O-ver and overture

Did not... see THAT ending coming.

My favorite Dial-A-Song yet

Aww is that a nuclear explosion that turns her into a slug?? :( That's sad haha. I like this song though.

Great as always.

très bien <3

Return OSF
Trè bon

Anyone else think Burnice would be an excellent hotel detective?

Really good

I've been wondering when this would come out.

According to the wiki, her full name is Burnice Rubber.

I already knew this one ;) it's great, i'n'it?

How did you know it? IFC?

This is about the art style I imagine all TMBG songs in.

Great song!

I love most of the dial-a-song content so far, but I'm really not a fan of these comic book characters :/

The characters or the songs?

"new songs every two weeks instead of every week." After making I Like Fun, they don't really have the material enough for all new songs this year, and I believe 1/2 of those original songs are based on these "characters". So you have 1/4 of truly original songs (or an album's worth, gee I wonder what they're doing with them...). I don't believe there's been any official word on the pattern since they've stopped posting I Like Fun music videos, though.

Also they've been touring this year a lot, so obviously not as much time to write songs. (A couple of the character songs are known to have been recorded in the I Like Fun sessions, actually)

The Johns slipped away into death many years ago.

Wait is the end a reference to The Giver?

Who is the dislike.

Maxwell Farris who are the 4 dislikes

A gypsy tune nicely played.

:) Keep up the good work, love this one so far.

what a fun video, some of the best have been ones this year!!

Notification squad :)

Oh woe is I, Oh woe is I to be FIRST

i'm sorry couldn't resist

Seventh.

Under 200 views club!

Burnice is one bad dude.

I'm so glad the anagrams have stopped

They haven't.

Uh, what? (A) What did anagrams ever do to you, and (B) They haven't stopped...

Vini Wooblefloop why? they’re still going

It's been all these years and finally the true Frenchness of Linnell's accordion playing is finally revealed!

This doesn't even show her true form. Creepy!

I haven't read the comic book so I don't know her 'true form', but since you see a nuclear blast at the end of this video, I imagine this is pre-transformation of some kind.
