Film At 11: They Might Be Giants

The first rule of They Might Be Giants? Don’t talk about the kids’ albums. The second rule? Any video including Rip Torn will be exponentially better than most, even those produced by a band with a history of quality visuals. Not only does the clip for “Can’t Keep Johnny Down,” off new album Join Us (Idlewild/Rounder), prove that Torn could still bite the ear off anybody he meets, it also continues the trend of solid, if campy ’80s-style videos that used to characterize TMBG in its heyday. Watch it below.
