They Might Be Giants - Bastard Wants to Hit Me video free download

When I first heard this on the album - way back in 2004 or so when my girl and I were going to Six Flags Great America and this track came up on the CD during the drive - we were both highly amused and immediately determined that it was the best song on the (all too short) disc. I like the video but to me this will always be a song about a guy at a party somewhere who notices another partygoer with a crazed look in his eye. "I'm not going over there. How did it come to this pass? How do I get out of here and get to my car"? Lol I dunno, I'm just more amused at the idea that this scene of potential violence is waiting to unfold at some pleasant little get-together.

I was so surprised that tmbg made these kinds of songs i thought they only made kid songs lol

I've never noticed until now, but you can hear when the guy jumps on the chain link fence and when the sewer lid opens and closese, as well as other various background noises of the animation. The attention to detail is amazing.

That punch woulda sent his head flying back into the car, for sure a knockout punch right there

Jeremy Mitchell

I love the sound effects they added to the video to go along with the animation.

I look at this animation and all I can think of is Ed Edd n Eddy. The wacky animation, the wiggly outlines, it totally looks like a slightly more refined version of Ed Edd n Eddy's art style!

The One That Got Away

The lyrics though... xD

animation is great, song itself is pretty meh,

looks like the gorrilaz

Im guessing this is not an official video lol. I always thought this song had a gloomy dark-purple tone to it. I thought it would be more of just a guy across the street waving at him instead of chasing him, because the song says "I'm not going over there"

You know that there's actually conjecture that the two characters in this video are Double D and Ed from Ed Edd n' Eddy after growing up and moving away from each other. They meet again, Edd doesn't recognize Ed, hilarity ensues.

one of my favourite pieces of animation ever, and a great song too!

And then, out of nowhere...SAX SOLO

that guy got fucked up

I agree with JMein13074. The auto tune is just being used as an instrument. LOve the animation too.

Wait, Laika? Like... stopmotion animation Coraline & Paranorman Laika? Couldn't be one of their early things, could it?

Deviant Art called. It said prepare for the adventure of a lifetime.

Emad Shalabi

I would sort of agree; as much as I love the Batman- he's essentially a lunatic vigilante (crazy bastard) whose monomania (partial insanity) stems from witnessing his parents die and manifests as stopping criminals while in a freaking animal costume. If he existed in real life, the cops would either shoot him or lock him up in an asylum.

In regards to your fic, I've actually been reading it and it's amazing. If and when you update it, please let me know.
