They Might Be Giants’ ‘Birdhouse In Your Soul’: Modern Renaissance Man Demonstrates The Stages Of The First Watch Of THAT Video

Stage One

Initial trepidation.

Stage Two

‘What the fuck?’

Stage Three

The acknowledgement it’s only going to get even worse.

Stage Four

The realisation the lyrics are even more surreal than the video.

Stage Five

The terror and the horror of realising the bit with the bone makes you go ‘what the fuck’ only because the rest of the video IS NOW BEGINNING TO MAKE SENSE!

Stage Six

‘WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BARKING MAD SHIT YOU’VE ALL JUST MADE ME WATCH TELLING ME I’D LIKE IT?’

Stage Seven

‘But most of all … why do I feel an impulsive need to immediately watch it all over again?’

Stage Eight

The dawning realisation that your friends are either bastards that only want to mess with your head every chance they get, or have been driven so completely, irretrievably criminally insane by the video it’s impossible to detect.

Either way, you’re doomed – and the Johns have claimed another victim.
