69. Lip Dub: Birdhouse in Your Soul
2 years ago
61. Showbiz Tonight
2 years ago
I haven't done a lip dub in a while, but I had my iPod on shuffle today and I heard Birdhouse in Your Soul (They Might Be Giants - so old school!) I remembered all the lyrics instantly, so I had to dub it. Hmm ... how weird is it that you can remember lyrics from 7th grade, and yet forget the name of the doorman in the building you've lived in for two years? umm ... I mean ... Theoretically.

Okay, so my self-critique? I could dance a little less. Or jiggle a little less. I'm more jiggling than dancing, anyway.

PS. Aren't these lyrics TRIPPY?? Like, were they on crack when they wrote this? "I'm your only friend/ I'm not your only friend / But I'm a little glowing friend / but really I'm not actually your friend / But I am." WTF?!? IT MAKES NO SENSE.

PPS. In case you're wondering if Lilly/Marshmallow enjoys being a party to these videos, the answer is, she keeps begging me to let her lip dub Warren G's "Regulate." So, yes.

    and if it makes you feel any better, I totally remembered all the lyrics to this song instantly as well.

    I even have the same mental video that plays in my head of bees in my bonnet and birdhouses and glowing friends.

    Something about dancing while holding a dog is wonderfully bizarre.

    TMBG has said the song is about a nightlight. That might clarify the trippy opening lyrics.

    I know Jakob seems to think he's the key to getting hits, but for what it's worth, I think less shirtless Jakob and more dancing is the ticket.

    That was very good and you did know all of the word to the song. It was very weird how you remembered the lyrics from when you were in 7th grade.

    Who...what...what kind of person would make up these lyrics? It completely escapes me, yet I can't stop listening to this song.
