Severe Tire Damage
ProfApe
Hi-ho, everybody.
I'm doing an article for the school paper on any band I want, so I chose They,
naturally. But here's the rub: I have to know a lot about Their next album to
do the story (my editor's always telling me what to put in the articles), and I
have only vague recollections to guide me.
So waht I'd appreciate is if everyone who has actually heard one of the Johns
say anything about the contents or release of STD (August, right?) could E-mail
me or post what you know here. As I recall, Flans has said that it has 17
tracks and 6 ape songs, but I'm not sure if I read that or made it up. And I
think that She's An Angel and Dr. Worm are on it too. So let me know.
And by the way, if you've heard Them say something definite about a knew studio
album or Superfueled Freaksicle ever being released, I need that info too.
Help me give TMBG some exposure!

From the 4-17-98 concert, they said they made 6 ape songs, but there are only 5
movies, and they're not sure which song isn't a movie. Also to be on the CD is
They Got Lost (or They Might be Giants Got Lost...whichever they decided to
use). A yes for Dr Worm, an I don't know for She's an Angel, and an I don't
think so for Older and I am not Your Broom...but I could be wrong on those last

Hi!
THis is what little I have known about STD.
Title of Album:
Severe tire Damage
Vague Release Date:
August
Idea/Concept of the Album:
A live album w/studio tracks. (like Harry Chapin's Greatest
Stories Live)
Songs that WILL be on the Album: (as of the 9/1/97 newsletter)
Dr. Worm. (Live)
"Planet of the" Ape Songs
I Am Not Your Broom
They Got Lost
Older
I've Learned the Value of Human Sacrifice.
A Stranger's Eye
Triboro Bridge (an instrumental spot-lighting drummer Dan Hickey.)
On the Drag
Counterfiet Faker
Songs Rumored to be on the Album:
She's An Angel
Instanbul
A studio recorded Dr Worm
Frankenstien
That's all I have to say about that,
Nendawen
P.S. Why do people freak and fuss over "SuperField FreakSickle"? It was just
a title that was in the works for "Factory Showroom," wasn't it? or was it
something more?

It was the working title for another B-sides album like "Miscellaneous-T". But
TMBG has said that they don't think they'll release it because they don't want
to flood the market with too much marginal stuff. Fans make a fuss over it
because they would really like to see it come out.
Kaylum
It says on the Mono Puff page that Flans is working on the Dr. Worm video now,
and that it will be animated. They have also said it will be the only studio
track on the album. I doubt they'd put both a live and studio version of it on
STD, but you never know.

At the 12/18/97 concert they called the ape song "Jazz Ape" so I'm
guessing that's the one that wasn't a movie:)

I think they named em at the 4-17-98 concert, and Jazz ape wasn't one of them,
maybe that was a different title for a song, or another song entirely...they
all sounded like titles that could be movies. I could go downstairs and get my
tape, but I'm too lazy right now :-)

I doubt it, since there will be a studio version of this one. I've heard one
of the Johns say that "Dr. Worm" will be the ONLY studio track on the album,
but I've also heard that there will be "studio tracks" (plural), and that there
will be stuff that no one has heard on the album (which you obviously couldn't
say about stuff that was recorded at concerts).
>"Planet of the" Ape Songs
All of them? I seem to remember hearing somewhere that "Battle" will be on
there, but I don't know about the others. It seems to me that putting on five
or six "Apes" songs would be overkill. A "Planet of the Apes" EP strikes me as
being a better idea, but I doubt that this will be released.
>Older
I've heard that this one won't be on the album. I certainly wouldn't complain
if it is, though.
>A Stranger's Eye
I don't think I've ever heard of this one.
I remember hearing somewhere that "Rest Awhile" will not be on the new album.
I hope it's released soon, though, and in a version where the lyrics can
actually be understood.

Songs:
Escape from the Planet of the Apes
Return to the Planet of the Apes
Battle for the Planet of the Apes
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes...
and simply--
Planet of the Apes
At least this is what I have...and I'm not sure which isn't a movie...I
thought there *were* five, but then hey, who knows? We have a ton of these
movies at the vid store. I'll look when I'm there tomorrow.

"Return to the Planet of the Apes" isn't a movie. "Back to the
Planet of the Apes" is a movie (well, a 1974 tee vee movie). "Beneath the
Planet of the Apes" is also a movie (1970). I haven't heard any of the
TMBG Ape songs, so I can't say whether or not these films have been given
their own instalments in the musical tour-de-force. But the fake one is
"Return to the Planet of the Apes".
> I thought there *were* five, but then hey, who knows?
There are six. In order: "Planet of the Apes" ('68), "Beneath the
Planet of the Apes" (70), "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" ('71),
"Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" ('72), "Battle for the Planet of the
Apes" ('73), then the TV series, and "Back to the Planet of the Apes"
(both '74).
Used to play "Name the 'Ape' movies in order" as a party game.
PBECB(TV)B is the acronym (PlanetBeneathEscapeConquestBattleTeeVeeBack).
The mnemonic I used was "Peter Buck Eats Connie Booth's Butt", which was
not actually very helpful, but amused me greatly.

Geez. I tried to rent planet of the apes at the local blockbuster a few
weekends ago, and they didn't have it! They don't have They Might be Giants
either, and about one copy of every new release. I'm thinking it's time to
start going to another movie store.

They have songs for all six, (with Return taking the place of Back), but I
haven't heard Beneath. I have a bootleg in which they refer to Beneath as a
"power-ballad."

IMHO the tv series was excellent much better than most of the films.It
managed to recreate the feel of the first film where they are on what
appears to be foreign lands but they find things that gives them an

There were many Teevee movies, with some beautifully corny titles
("Life, Liberty, and Pursuit on the Planet of the Apes"). There were
also some comic books that carried on the plot from the later movies
nicely. And the new film is not supposed to be a remake. It is, at
last word, going to be a James Cameron-directed new film which will fit
in with the plot of the original five movies.

Ooh this is a perfect segue for my little story...
the other night at work I was having a lovely conversation with a friend and

Trisha: Never trust a man with two last names, either...

My family has a set of four stainless steel sporks. They were a
wedding gift for my parents (from an uncle, I believe). They are in a
small, tasteful deep-blue cardboard box (textured to look like alligator

may have been the teevee movies strung together but they weren't as
long. I remember the humans finding sanfransico and a computer in a
building then being hunted by apes.
The humans staying on a farm and giving farming tips to the ape farmer
The humans finding another Human who could talk
That's really all I can remember.

I had a couple metal sporks. You can't buy them, but they're easy to make.
Just take a common dining hall fork (or other cheap metal fork) and heat it
over a Bunsen burner or similar. Then shape it appropriately. (I'd
recommend against using bare hands here.)

You know, I don't have a word for it either. I asked my last

really sound right... Can anybody offer a suitable name for this ("Would
you like to become my permanent domestic partner?" doesn't have any kind

Don't get me wrong though. Back in my chicken-eating days, I
recall the glorious feasts of Kentucky Fried Chicken which I would
undertake on a regular basis (back in the day before it was just "KFC",
a name I don't care to acknowledge). Buckets at a time. And those
biscuits are fantastic.
And I like the Kentucky Fried Chicken scene in Spike Lee's
"School Daze"...
Someday my body will forgive me for putting all that crap into
it...

Personally, I'm always in that mood.

I shall keep this in mind..when I need some sort of anecdote to brighten my
day..well, hell, why don't you just tell us all now!!??
and..I don't think mine are separate stories (first date and
conception)--honestly!

Are you going to wear a "permanent domestic partner" ring? How would you go
about a divorce? Would you just break up? or would you go through a parody
of some sort of legal process, or what? curiouser and curiouser....

okay..you'll get damn presents, dammit!!! For your birthday, and Christmas,
and your, um.."bonding" or whatever.
Whens your bday again? I don't wanna forget.
and don't blame me if you get sporks, cactus spears, and avocados...and
maybe, for comic relief, a gift certificate to Kentucky Fried Chicken (for
the biscuits, man, really!)

really? I flirt this grotesquely all the time. But I also decided long ago
that it does no one any good for me to be shy. Just not my nature.
Keep flirting, chris, you're doing a GREAT job!

Yeah? Neato. I once used a pocketknife to turn a Coke can into a spoon. I had
forgotten mine, you see, and there was this cup of Jello Pudding...
My Dad has a couple of custom-(read 'home-')made combination knife/fork things.
They belonged to his mother, who needed them; through some unfortunate
accident, she had only one hand.

My Baracudda was in the shop so I was in a rented Stingray, and it was
overheating. I pulled into a Shell station. They said I'd blown a seal. I said,
"Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, OK pal?"

Jake, if you really think that's what a Double Dong is, you've
lead a more sheltered life than that kid in the Skinner Box...

Go to http://www.spork.org and learn about it!!
Never underestimate the power of the spork!!
(Although the sporks from Taco Bell are far superior to those from KFC... if
they are even civilized to have sporks at all...)
