One song, two videos

Sock muppet version of TMBG's "Older" (and the original, human video as well)

Both excellent--the original is really sinister.

This amateur video of the same song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOPjdHjpV8k&feature=related) isn't quite as good, but it has a lot going for it.

Thank you. I have heard about TMBG for over ten years, but I've never made an effort to find their work. I've been missing out.

I would recommend starting with Then: The Early Years (http://music.barnesandnoble.com/Then-The-Earlier-Years/They-Might-Be-Giants/e/18777293129?itm=20&USRI=they%2Bmight%2Bbe%2Bgiants), which is a collection of their first two albums and a bunch of early rarities, many of which are as good as anything on the albums themselves. Or try Flood, their third album. They haven't maintained the brilliance of that early explosion of creativity, although they have never released an album without *something* staggeringly brilliant on it, often several somethings.
