The lyrics aren't wrong. This was recorded when the song was in the late stages of a work in progress. The studio version on Flood wasn't even recorded yet. If you listen to the 1989 rough mix of the song "They Might Be Giants" from the Flood sessions, you'll hear that the majority of the lyrics were changed while it was being worked on as they are quite different from the final.

I had this episode on tape back in the day. I included "I was young and foolish then I feel old and foolish now" in my senior quotes in my high school yearbook in 1993.

Great vintage version... you can really feel the country influence in this version. I love this band... 20 years later, this song still makes me sad.

Man, I wish MTV could be this good again (not that I was around back when it was like this xD) but today it's just a total load of crap. I can't stand watching it. Live music, introducing new bands that really need the attention and GOOD MORALS is where their real focus should be, not the shitty highschool dramas where at least one episode involves teenage pregnancy.

I could shake my tiny fist and swear I wasn't wrongBut what's the sense in arguing when you're all alone?-Lucky Ball and ChainFlansy two days in a row! Here's a very early recording. Pre-Flood release, in fact. It's faster than the album track and some of the lyrics are slightly different.

I wonder if left-handed guitarists have their brains warped by watching righties as us righties do watching the southpaws play…

I like this album a lot! But Bill's production from the first two, beats this album's production.

"I just stood there whistling 'there goes the bride' as she walked out the door", was totally a dick move. Just sayin'
