this song is pretty dumb but the "i don't understand you" part is a beauty

Like 90% of their songs are dumb.. I think that's part of the point.

anyway the correct answer is "space suit"

"Please pass the milk, please Please pass the milk, please"

This was a running gag between some friends and me for at least a couple years.

Although, as far as the musicality of these vignettes goes, "I don't understand you (I don't understand you) ....." is probably my favorite.

this thread has caused me to watch old tmbg clips on youtube.

EVERYTHING RIGHT IS WRONG AGAIN
JUST LIKE IN THE LONG LONG TRAILER

All the people are so happy now, their heads are caving in
I'm glad they are a snowman with protective rubber skin
But every little thing's a domino that falls on different dots
And crashes into everything that tries to make it stop

And the mirror, it reflects a tiny dancing skeleton
Surrounded by a fleshy overcoat and swaddled in
A furry hat, elastic mask, a pair of shiny marble dice
Some people call them snake-eyes, but to me they look like mice

And nothing's smelling like a rose
But I don't care if no one's coming up for air
I know nothing's gonna change my clothes ever anymore

what the fuck.. I thought there was a thing set up on here so questions/polls wouldnt repeat themselves. I wouldnt have asked if I had known. my mistake

― billstevejim, Monday, 15 December 2008 16:20 (seventeen years ago)

"a thing set up on here so questions/polls wouldnt repeat themselves"? like besides running a search to see if a thread's been done before you make it?

why would i do that if i knew that function was set up

― billstevejim, Monday, 15 December 2008 16:24 (seventeen years ago)

There is a thing that will alert you if threads with similarly worded titles exist. But this poll is probably good evidence that, much like spell-check, it shouldn't be entirely relied on.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
