Hey

Shut up Wingo

[@tankboyprime]

I heard this on yesterday's podcast and was like, "WOW, the theme suddenly has a lot more energy!" Fantastic!

[@Swishy_Blue]

"I'm Not a Loser" changed my life. Thank you for every song you put into the world. Thank you.

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

John Linnell writing a song about Squidward’s existential crises is just about the most perfect songwriter/fictional character combo I could imagine. Both of them are clarinet players, even.

[@Sparkina]

This music has a late 60’s-early 70s feel to it.

[@gregstephens]

Heard this in the morning and I was immediately like, "What's this new Gabfest music? I don't like it!" but then 20 seconds later they said it was TMBG, so I did a 180 and decided to give it a chance. I'm glad to hear its full version here, because the couple seconds at the top of the show before Plotz's intro starts just isn't enough to properly appreciate it. The bounce; the fun- It'll do, Johns. It'll do.

[@manasnain6695]

Banging music as always. TMBG never disappoints.

[@uncleflansy5621]

Man, I haven't seen this graphic in like two decades.

[@sarahw7224]

I grew up jammin’ to No! and appreciating the lyrics! I’m so excited for this

[@AdamThorton]

The compression on that guitar is tasty!!!

[@kelilahmiller6841]

Loving the No! Throwback art

[@GraceKamakiriVT]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, always a good day when TMBG has a new song out

[@aestevalis0]

Are we sure Washington's 100% downloaded? He looks like he may have crashed right at the end to me.

[@scentedpapers6569]

NOT AMERICAN and i have no fuckin idea what Gabfest is but this lil theme and the video ominously zooming in is just representative on my mental clutch this Philippine presidental election season! Help!

[@TheKing0fSting]

Don't worry. I'm Texan and have no clue what gabfest is either. Nice song though

[@AttacMage]

@@TheKing0fSting some Slate ran podcast, it seems

[@itsbencjohnson]

@@TheKing0fSting Another fellow Texan here. It’s The Slate Political Gabfest, a weekly podcast that’s been around since the Bush 43 Administration. I’m a longtime listener and really dig it. And now that my favorite band is doing the theme song, I like it even more.

[@sarcasmo57]

It was lovely.

[@CardstocKrusader]

We need people to vote for the book songs on the TMBG website. That way people can see how well they are viewed on the website if they want to know if they want to get the album.

[@wooblydooblygod3857]

I am happier now.

[@ElaineMLove]

Love it!!!!! Those Horns Baada Baada Baada snap ,snap, snap Baada, Baada, Baada alittle merengue 2step, with a twirl, and a couple of full side to side sways with a delightful deep dip and brought back-up smiling , happily tripping off the dance patio for a waiting drink of iced tequila with slice majoora . THURSDAY AFTERNOON IN OCTOBER 2022🎊🎊

[@meander112]

Engagement for the engagement god!

[@numberq1134]

Anyone know if the picture was done by The Chopping Block, the same company that did the album art for No!?

[@betaylor173]

Yes no beibe aronou

[@jacksobrooks]

I love TMBG, but I know at this point that if they are associated with something political, that something is gonna be...bad.

[@christianswanson3016]

They got their start doing political rallys for the Sandinistas. They've been on the right side of history most their lives.

[@helix2331]

@@christianswanson3016 also they got the first line of kiss me son of god, the songs your racist friend, minimum wage, put your hand inside the puppet head, hearing aid, and many more songs about hating your job. and politicians. and racists.
also flansy says trans rights so

[@samforsyth]

You’ll be fine.

[@jacksobrooks]

Yea, they were totally cool. I appreciate their political bent. It's just that at the moment their kind of rebellious political identity has been bought and occupied by evil people that might as well be the most evil of Republicans, for all intents and purposes. It's like you buy the same candy bar every year. It's a very good candy bar, but over the years it has slowly had a higher and higher shit content until it's almost completely human fecal matter. But you keep buying and eating it because of the wrapper.

[@L0REN0R2Z0RR0]

Nixon's the one!

[@AcidRavelEffect]

odelay. odelay. odelay and graphic design. the special sauce with chicago mustard. tastes like lime.
