1 of 3 OFFICIAL WINNERS of the TMBG "Am I Awake?" video contest! From They Might Be Giants new compilation Idlewild. Judge John Hodgman speaks:
"Jack Fields, for the video I call 'Murderous Puppet Typewriters.' Startling, original, repulsive in the most beautiful way, it engages with the lyrics without being an on-the-nose dream sequence. And the physics of puppet dismemberment are as accurate as I recall from puppet medical school."

Did Fuckslayer give you the idea for this one? Also, I meant to say, I was blown away by the eloquence you wrote the apology at the beginning. That was really thoughtful, and quite nice. :-)9 years ago

Order viewed: 3rd/3Gives the impression that the song is about hallucinations. The surreal nature coupled with the common human themes of working, demise, and uncertainty gives this impression. Not being able to tell if what you're seeing is a dream or a hallucination in waking hours fits in with the question "am I awake?"9 years ago
