Who would win in a fight Medeski Martin & Wood or They Might Be Giants?
-Chris’ Birthday Party
Well they both make a mean children’s band, and by mean I mean potentially damaging to the fragile psyches of potentially innocent children. Ultimately, there can be only one winner and it comes down to the following factors:
- Suppositional Giantness
- Who I have a cooler picture of
- Accordians
- John Flansberg once ate a live squirrel
What these things have to do with who would win a fight
While you can call into question whether They Might Be Giants you can’t call into question the fact that they play the accordion. So obviously they must have spent the last 28 years fighting of the three fans and billions of haters of accordion music. Subsequently They Might Be Giants has grown battle-worn and visious, as evidenced by squirrel ingestion. Seriously, they have a song about making puppets out of heads and worms auditioning for drummer jobs — they obviously live by different rules than the rest of us.
If, in fact, they are giants then the member of Medeski Martin & Wood who might be made of wood will quickly be turned to splinters used to loose squirrels from Flansberg’s massive teeth. Not only that, They Might Be Giants is a 5 person band, outnumbering Medeski Martin & Wood 5 to 3.
Check out how they hang out:
Look at them! Angry faces, angry instruments, flannel, their image is so powerful it burned the color out of the film and left the photographer desiring for a post-coitus cigarette.
In contrast look at Medeski Martin and Wood:
Look at them! Wearing parkas to protect their fragile bodies from the cold and their fragile skin from real sun. You can feel the camera weeping from the wimpiness.
And to put an end-cap on why They Might Be Giants would tenaciously trounce Sadeski Fartin & Woodyoustophittingme Here come the ABC’s is a Gold Album and I don’t even know the name of MMW’s kids album.
Thank you and goodnight.
