They Might Be Giants - Snail Shell Lyrics

What a rarity. Everyone seems to have thought this video didn't actually exist

Mop bucket noggin'.

Back to skull

I had no idea there was a video for Snail Shell!

If only we could’ve gotten videos for Factory Showroom, that’s my favorite album, after that is John Henry.

This is much better quality! Thanks Johns!

_Flood_ put TMBG on the map, but _John Henry_ put the pedal to the metal. When the Reaper comes for me, I'm not going anywhere until he busts out No One Knows My Plan and we conga-line into the hereafter.

I wanna thank you guys!

This is GREAT quality. Did they recreate this?

First TMBG album I heard. Still my favorite.

I like the video more than the song, actually. Don't know why this got chosen to be one of the marketable tracks of the album while there are so many gems on it ^^

The thumbnail makes this look like an ASMR video, lmao.

Wait it's not?

Truly one of the most original and creative bands on the planet.

Most certainly!

This is not what I envisioned the video of this song would be.
I imagined something more along the BDSM variety.

Please add more HQ vids.

o my gosh i can actually see them. it's a miracle

that bass slaps

kwijung pops*

The guitar riff is really great as well!

i have direct from brooklyn on vhs!

What an incredible song.

Hi, Everybody!
Thanks for being here, an important and valued part of your TMBG community.

Just don't say...

"The electric chair's not good enough!"

Lyrics:

Sir hand
Or is it ma'am
I fell out of my right place again
And you
Considered me
And now I'm where a snail has to be

I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

Was it something you would do for anybody?
Was it what you'd only do for me?
I need to know because you see
I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

Friend
Look what you gave
And how can you ever be repaid?
How may I give you a hand
From the position at your feet where I stand?

So let me thank you for putting me back in my snail shell
I'd like to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

Was it something you would do for anybody?
Was it what you'd only do for me?
I need to know because you see
I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

Snail Shell
Thank you
Snail Shell
Thank you

Ah
Ah
Ah

Was it something you would do for anybody?
Was it what you'd only do for me?
Or was it something where you acted when you saw the need
And knew that there would be a way the act could be repaid
And so it may, but for today
I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell

So much greatness and beauty mercilessly unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.

What’s that snail smell?

I think it's swell.

I wonder how many other people confuse YouTube to the point where it suggest TMBG after Halestorm.

Loving the song!

Watching this in 1080p feels illegal

So nice, it must be naughty.

A TMBG song that makes sense?!! What is this madness?

Why is TMBG not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

That hall cannot contain them!

They are in the Not in Hall of Fame. #230 lol. there's at least 1000 or more bands that should already be in the hall of fame though.

This is my favorite thing i have found in a while

Finally some g dang high quality content on this site

Truly epic. Thank you!
