I was listening to this in the car the other day because I was in the middle of nowhere and there were no FM stations. All of a sudden I got a pop-up on my phone to bluetooth connect to a really nice pair of headphones, and I ABSOLUTELY hit yes, because the thought of some teenager stuck in the car getting blasted with this song in particular made me laugh so hard!! I doubt it worked but I had a really really fun 5 minutes on a boring highway in Arizona. :)
I never get tired of listening to this one. TMBG is so versatile and this is a perfect example of that. They truly captured the essence of 80's club music in this one.
The most underrated moment, also the best moment, is when John goes down to a lower note to sing the "I" in "... and I can love again" in the final chorus at 2:50. Chills.

Tbh this is probably my favorite tmbg ever, It has such a unique vibe, its upbeat but also quite melancholy... I kinda interpret it as how things change as time goes on, the world doesn't stop for you. "They fixed up the corner store like it was a night club, its permanently disco" is a great example of this, its like the narrator is singing about returning to his old town or somewhere he's been before which used to be familiar and he's realizing how much its changed while he was gone. Everyone's having fun at the newly renovated nightclub without him, he is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But at the same time he starts to accept the fact things have changed and although he misses parts of the past, he can still enjoy the things now. This is only my interpretation of the song though but I really wanted to share since it means a lot to me personally. I have trouble dealing with the passing of time and all I'd wish for in my life was to be able to go back to "the good old days".. I miss my childhood a lot but unfortunately we cant stop time.. things around us change and this song really helps me cope with that fact.
Thanks for sharing that vulnerable feeling Mimi..... I think we all struggle with the passing of time and with change. Your comment made me feel connected to you.... Hope all is well..... They Might Be Giants rock!!
Had to play this today because they revamped my local nightclub completely, now it looks just like a breakfast place. No one's excited and everyone's confused. 😣

As good as the version is which I instantly fell in love and it reigned so true while growing up and seeing business that were open years before I was born and we're revamping everything for modern times. But check out the demo, it's just as good.

Bro! I just tried sharing this with my boyfriend after trying to explain what happened in reverse to my local nightclub. I handed him one earbud despite his objections. He tolerated it for about a minute before getting up and walking out. I'll believe forever that two earbuds would've completely sold him.

Every TMBG song is good in its own way. I like "Mr. Xcitement", personally. The song that took the longest for me to start to "get" was "Wicked Little Critta".
I can confirm that it feels like this on casual friday at retail places like Target . WHERE THE F_K ARE THE EMPLOYEES ? I NEED HELP FINDING SOMETHING !
To note. I am not trying to offend anyone who likes Halley Labs. Heck, I like both this song and Rotteen's cover. I was actually surprised when they covered Ring Of Fire (One of my favorite song's of all time) on their song "Banned Forever"

That sounds rather impractical if you want your car washed but now i am excited
they made the song real
It it also next to a airport ?

i hope it did work oh my god
You had the power and you used in responsibly 💪
I blew the speakers in my old car with this song, it was worth it.
Man, it must have been so loud in there!
@@stanlow1980 Word-for-word what I was about to comment!
You might be the only person to blow out speakers with TMBG.
Just last weekend I played this in a '95 Buick LeSabre during an enduro race. Then I wrecked. Not the song's fault though.
Was it a mink car?
I live above a bar and the dj and owner are my friends. i had them blast it as loud as possible. everyone loved it.
This one makes my top ten favorite TMBG songs. Hard to be in a crappy mood when MISLIH is played at ear-splitting volume!
But the conga line during spy was unreal ..

Sensory overload personified as a certified bop. Man oh man, there's a reason I fell in love with this song when I was 9.
lyrics:
They fixed up the corner store like it was a nightclub
It's permanently disco
Everyone is dressed so oddly
I can't recognize them
I can't tell the staff from the customers
Baby, check this out
I've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again
I'll remember what it was
You have to carry all your things
You can't misplace them
There's nowhere to place anything
Baby, check this out
I've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again

I'm glad someone else interpreted this song the same way I did
“unfortunately we can’t stop time”
so i guess you could say that
TIME IS MARCHING ON
AND TIME IS STILL MARCHING ON
Thanks for sharing that vulnerable feeling Mimi.....
I think we all struggle with the passing of time and with change.
Your comment made me feel connected to you....
Hope all is well.....
They Might Be Giants rock!!
the chorus is melancholy in the sense that he's trying to say something profound or deeply heartfelt, and is interrupted by the noise and atmosphere.
This is just a fantastic example of how these guys can do any kind of music. Also it's great.
Fun fact:As of this date,This is there last song to hit the top 100.
besides birdhouse but that was only in the UK and that was a re-entry.

Wow. This might be my favorite TMBG song. This feels like such a club song. I. swear I've heard it before. Such a familiar melody...
They might be my favourite They Might Be Gaints song 😂
Fave line from this, 'when they start the laugh machine and I can love again...' *swoons*
Indeed! This line really drives home for me the emotional subtext of the song.
I loved TMBG and Lapfox/Halley Labs before I even knew that this song and their cover existed, and I'm fucking dying over them both
so real. so real.
You have no idea how many times I've attempted to post this video in response to things people say on the internet. Thanks for uploading this. I'll put it to good use.
this song makes me cry, its so beautiful
Not that I'm admitting to be an old guy, but this song rings so true to at least a few nightclubs I've visited over the past 15 years or so.
I saw TMBG live this summer and MISLIH was definitely my favorite, everyone was singing along and it was so loud in there haha :)
“...and that’ll be $13 for that beer sir”

this song is fun
I finally got this title track tattooed above my They skull. It’s in a No! speech bubble. Thanks dad for bonding with me over them in the 90s
literally fantastic! i love all of this
I know it's a throwback to the first-sound of tmbg - but I still love it. Tape / sequencers entire.
This is the best song ever made about rave clubs slowly taking over the world.
nice genre
I remember hearing this on the college radio station for ages before I got the album and realized it was TMBG
I didn't expect to actually find some fellow Lapfox Trax/Halley Labs fans in the comments. You all have very VERY good taste in music.
It took a while... I love this song, both the original and the remix.

Most accurate club lyrics ever.
I always get the Pet Shop Boys with this. Anyone else?
I think they should do a cover of this...
Pet Shop Boys and a bit of New Order (especially the melodic bass guitar)
I always got New Order
I get a Sparks vibe honestly
0:08 Does anyone know how to get that disco sound?
ruclips.net/video/mBZP2ivlW3Y/видео.html disco laser sound
I actually lived out the video to this in real life 3 years before it was released.
What video?
They're all shouting something at us waving and pointing
They've revamped the airport completely now it looks

I'm getting a New Order/The Other Two vibe from this
❤️❤️❤️
Halley labs is a sort of electronic TMBG
I see another man of many cultures coming from Lapfox ;)
If TMBG were doing 90's rave music => Rotteen & Emoticon
Awesome that some people Listen to lapfox
Lmao my friend show me RQ's Touch Touch just to listen more Lapfox songs
BTW, in case you didn't pick up on it, this song is a pastiche in the style of Pet Shop Boys.
12 people thought this song was too loud
weeeeee heheheheheheh having so much fun

I wanna play this song to attract a lot of Ganados.

can't believe tmbg made SWEET RAVE PARTAY music
A real store did this in a small town. It still exists and it's location is secret.
Dumb hot take:If it wasn't for this song there would be no "Blinding lights"
You actually make a lot of sense, they have similar vibes for sure
This song is the moment the album finally gets really, really good.
...And then Mr. Xcitement comes along and fucks it all up.
Every TMBG song is good in its own way. I like "Mr. Xcitement", personally. The song that took the longest for me to start to "get" was "Wicked Little Critta".
@@Persun_McPersonson SAME! I took me a while, but Wicked Little Critta is now one of my favorites!
the only proper way to play this song is inbetween the Cure and Depehe Mode in an 80's dance night!

Well, TMBG made music for the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, so there's something.
Didny Worl?
I mean, there's really no reason for them to, but I wish Pet Shop Boys would cover this.
Reminds me of Stereolab.

just bought Mink Car on CD (had to get it second-hand)! Super excited for it to arrive in the mail! This is easily my favorite TMBG album.
Here from the Rotteen cover, like most people I presume?
I fixed up the corner store.
Oh my gosh tmbg and rotteen holy shiet
But seriously the ringing sound hurts.
how about we just enjoy some TMBG and not talk about the techno artist who need not be named we all know what they did
I know right
Swert. Swat. Swerlt
this is MY song it is ME
What?
