They Call Me Dr. Worm....
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things,
I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm,
I am an actual worm,
I live like a worm.

and I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good, but I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know and you can

Tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums
I'll leave the front unlocked 'cause I can't
Hear the doorbell...

When I get into it, I can't tell if you are
Watching me twirling the stick.
When I give the signal, my friend
Rabbi Vole will play the solo...

Someday, somebody else besides me will
Call me by my stage name, they will

Call me Dr. Worm,
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm....



Possibly my favorite song by They Might be Giants. Love the trumpet.

1. I could tell that was TMBG, even though I've never heard it.
Nobody writes a song like TMBG...

3. Really? It's on "Severe Tire Damage"

which is mostly a live complilation. But this is the only place I've seen that song.

Here's a link which has an audio clip on it:

On Edit: It's not a clip, it's the whole song!

4. cool. I only have a few of their CDs.
I'm not really a dedicated fan, but there is no doubt that they rock.

6. I can't count how many times I've seen them
The first was on the Flood tour, in Boston.

The best was at the Wiltern in LA a few years ago.

Love.

7. Oh, Man, I'm a Big Fan but I've Never Seen Them Live
I've got to take my daughter, too. She's 14 but has been hearing TMBG songs since she was a little 'un.
