Bill! What's going on? Lately I'm shutting RP off more often than not. The number of sucko-barfo's is increasing and I've noticed that we're changing the channel more and more often. I hope to not have to go looking for a replacement.

The concept of a night-light worrying about "killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts" has to be one of the most inspired lines in Rock and Roll.

Overly 'clever' and simutaneously irritating in equal measures.

I happen to agree with you, but fail to see any connections between the two?  |

Once again showcasing John Linell's unique ability to come up with amazing lyrics about nothing! This song is about a night lite!  |

Had to go watch their appearance on 'The Tonight Show'. 1990, with Doc Severinsen and the band. Awesome.

From Flood - the first CD ever acquired for my son, at age 9. The two Johns are now engaged in a concert tour doing the entire work live. So wonderful to hear this again.

A most unusual classic. On paper the lyrics and arrangement just don't have broad appeal and would seem to destine the song to obscurity. But in the execution it wins on all levels, and has come to define how music can be infectious. Simply brilliant from start to finish. Congrats to John and John for not compromising their brainy approach to rock and roll.

Nope, it's for RP - you know how you can tell? Because Bill just played it on RP, and he gets to decide - you don't. |

My wife's favorite song by TMBG and they are the group she's seen live the most. This was written in their heyday in the 90s and is wildly imaginative & clever. The lyrics must be studied to be truly appreciated. I give this one a 10 and recommend that fans also check out "Particle Man", "Dr. Worm", "SEXXY", "The Statue Got Me High", "Don't Let's Start" and "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)".
