I can't hear that song without watching this video: https://youtu.be/LsAiCs66l40
I first heard the song put to DBZ clips. So I can't hear this verse without seeing Krillin getting clobbered.
Therapist: “You can’t hear static images.”
tubas and accordions fill my head
Ok, doc, then how can I hear you? You're about as 2D as they come. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey now, dimensionality? Let’s keep it civil.
It's 1am an I am deeply offended by such a personal attack.
Poetry.
They have a fight, Particle wins. Particle man.
Animaniacs have a lot to answer for
I was thinking it was Tiny Toons that introduced me to this one? Though, so many years ago... not so sure anymore, with as much as I watched all the toons back then.
Hmm, you might be right, it was a long time ago.
Look out
Now he's a broken man
Fuck that's sad. I took a long break from most social media and just randomly came back because I'm no longer in crisis and I can see that things are still going the way I thought. I'm very much glad for the growth I've had recently and I want anyone who sees this to know that it can get better, a lot better, I just recently became able to voice my real feelings and stand up for myself and I'm finding out real quick what my family is actually like but also something really good happened very recently and it would not have happened if I was still just keeping my head down. Anyone feel free to reach out for support.
🎶Look out! Here comes Depression.🎶
It’s wild that this is clearly based on the Spiderman theme but we ALL came here with They Might Be Giants on the brain
Where do you think Spidey's theme came from? 🤦🏼♂️
Uh.... time travelling musicians?
Who are also potentially of preternatural & prodigious size, obviously.
edit for "clarity" 😜
Some of those words follow from the others
Here’s me finishing it in my head with a Knick knack paddy wack give a dog a bone, human man is rolling home
Just realised that old rhyme seems maybe offensive to Irish people with paddy wack, makes sense for a lot of old English nursery rhymes…
https://www.etymonline.com/word/paddy
Paddy-wagon is attested by 1930, perhaps so called because many police officers were Irish. Paddywhack (1811) originally meant "an Irishman;" with the second element apparently added vaguely for emphasis.
It's not clear if it's a slur or not, or just slang for referring to an Irishman.
I think it might be closer to referring to a Scotsman as "a Scot" than anything pejorative.
Then again, you never know with the English... and it ultimately comes down to how the Irish feel about it
I think anything that's slang for an ethnic group has like a 90% probability of being a slur
If it doesn't start as one, it becomes one.
Triangle man, triangle man Triangle man hates human man They have a fight, triangle wins
I'm not a real doctor but I am a real man
I feel attacked
My mind did a completely different take and tried to do this to the tune of Particle Man. Had to read the comments to realize where I went wrong and why this wasn't fitting with the lyrics
Ouch!
I've seen it all before
I've been there
I've seen my hopes and dreams lying on the ground
I've seen the sky just begin to fall
