Nanobots - They Might Be Giants (Official Video)

Wow. The video is an even more accurate representation of what it's like to raise children than the song.

This song has a profound warning, a cautionary tale of sorts.

one of their greatest songs still, so incredible

That escalated quickly.

Linnell 2020.

Curse you Von Nueman

Why do they hate us?

The happiest song about a Grey Goo scenario ever.

Well, that's a lot more amusing to watch than a lot of the "gray goo" hypotheses...

Welcome to March 2020! I hope everyone’s enjoying socially distancing, and getting laid off so that we don’t die.

this was terrifying.

Gray goo.

I don't feel so good; The Song

*MORAL OF THE STORY*.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

VIVA LA ROBO-LUTION!

🔳 Good
🔳 Very Good

This video seriously feels like ruler of everything from tally hall

I don't need gray goose to party, I just need gray goo

Horizon Zero Dawn's backstory = This Video

I will never look at this song the same now

This video is exponentially enjoyable!
Ah... if you could train ants to excavate building site for you in near perfect cuboids....

I was laughing at this so much I don't know why this is so funny

-Couldn't find it so, Lyrics:
Grow the nanobots up
(Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk)
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
Wind the nanobots up (Wind them up and ask them a question)
Wind them up and ask them a question

Raise the yellow bots up
(Raise them up and make them respect us)
Raise them up and make them respect us
Wind the marching bots up (Wind them up and wish them away)
Wind them up and wish them away

After all the hullabaloo
We very nearly forgot about you
Now all the old troubles will soon be at an end
When all the neurons begin when we send the signal
To the newborn citizenship
Of the micronations
Sleeper cells awaken, now this is your plan
Hear the voices tuned into the confederates
See the tiny figures testing their limbs
Stand back and watch them

Grow the nanobots up
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
Wind the nanobots up
Wind them up and wish them away

The sun is rising in the wrong place
I would decorate the room but there's no more space
All I see is pictures of matchstick men
I turn my back for two minutes and they've grown again
They're arranging beds
Using what's available
In some hand-me-downs
Making do with leftovers
Looking up, sharing comic books
Sitting three-deep in each other's laps
On the messed up notebook of the van
Riding on a tidal wave where they

Grow the nanobots up
(Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk)
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
Wind the nanobots up (Wind the nanobots up)
Wind them up and wish them away

Raise the yellow bots up (Raise the yellow bots up)
Raise them up and make them respect us
(Raise them up and make them respect us)
Wind the marching bots up (Wind the nanobots up)
Wind them up and make them to send a signal
To the newborn citizenship
Of the micronations
Sleeper cells awaken now
This is your, this is your time

That animation though

This is the... most interesting interpretation of the grey goo scenario yet.

A cheery tune about earth's obliteration. Typical TMBG.

In my TMBG with the earlier recording. Thanks for the upload!

Wtf is this!

Why do I feel like this is something Hugbees would do, just not in song

Is that Steve Agee?

Reminds me of beasty boys music vids

Seeing how I saw this when I was young (about 8) I was terrified. Now, I wanna make a clay version of the nanobots cause The nanabots look way too cute.

[Chorus]
Grow the nanobots up
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
Wind the nanobots up
Wind them up and ask them a question
Raise the yellow bots up
Raise them up and make them respect us
Wind the marching bots up
Wind them up and wish them away

[Verse 1]
What with all the hullabaloo
We very nearly forgot about you
Now all the old troubles will soon be at an end
And all the new ones will begin when we send
The signal
To the newborn citizenship
Of the micronations
Sleeper cells awaken, now
This is your time

[Bridge]
Hear the voices calling to their confederates
See the tiny figures testing their limbs
Stand back and watch them

[Chorus]
Grow the nanobots up
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
Wind the nanobots up
Wind them up and wish them away

[Verse 2]
The sun is rising in the wrong place
I would decorate the room but there's no more space
All I see is pictures of matchstick men
I turn my back for two minutes and they've grown again
Rearranging beds
Eating what's available
In some hand-me-downs
Making do with leftovers
Bunking up, sharing comic books
Sitting three-deep on each other's laps
In a van stacked up on other vans
Driving on a tidal wave where they

[Chorus]
Grow the nanobots up
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk
Wind the nanobots up
Wind them up and wish them away
Raise the yellow bots up
Raise them up and make them respect us
Wind the marching bots up
Wind them up and get them to send a signal

[Verse 3]
To the newborn citizenship
Of the micronations
Sleeper cells awaken now
This is your, this is your time

Nanobots go in different sizes.

hillarious. loved it. love my nanobots too. best way to go

This song has always reminded me of Phineas and Ferb

Reading the lyrics the context of the apocalypse is really subtle

And they've grown, oh they have grown...

among the GREATEST ALBUMS EVER by TMBG.

watch this at 1.25 speed its even better

The song almost convinces me that maybe we should just let the robots take over. Maybe they'd do a better job than us, and build us our own little human kingdom or something

❤

Nanomachines Son!

seeing the johns get turned into macrobots will always invoke fear into my soul

woah that sure is a lot of human skulls on the ground… I’m kinda regretting turning around
