My husband is a big fan of They Might Be Giants, as am I (as evidenced by my vanity plate.)
We both enjoyed their album Join Us and the videos posted on You Tube in answer to a contest to create a music video to the first song: Can't Keep Johnny Down. The winner is pretty funny.
HOWEVER, the one that caught our eye was one by an artist named AKAcronny (on YouTube.) This is the video we always picture as we listen to the song.
Now I've been trying to get my husband to go to an anime convention called Ohayocon since I started going myself about 6 years ago. This year, I finally convinced him, with the caveat that I would dress as the Skullivan.
This is how much I love my husband.
He made all the costumes himself. And so I now have a pair of bunny slippers and some neat skeleton tights. Score.He looked up a how-to on papier-mâché (mostly guys making Deadmau5 heads). We found that the fewer the layers, the more flexible and therefore less likely to crack the head was.
Lolz I love it when jonny the blue skined guy's mouth moves I love how his mouth moved he looked computer animated in the can't keep jonny down music video XD XD XD XD some dude hitting golf balls on the moon bathroom in his pants he scowels at the dude that has the book jonny the blue skined guy wanted

I was wondering what the hell those were from. If he's not a regular at anime cons he certainly seemed to fit right in.
I love that TMBG video I cant stop watching it - it should have won the competition.
Anyone know which town AKAcronny
shot the " Can't Keep Johny down "
video in ?
That song is a giant [in our hearts]
TMBG rules....

It had really good effects but they didn't put any thought in to story or demonstrate any understanding of the song.
