They Might Be Giants: Dr. Worm

Track of the Week - 13 March 2022

On a bus journey this week I saw a man with a massive tub of mealworms. Could have been a ten litre tub. I might have been able to get my head in it if it wasn't full of mealworms.

After a chat with my chum Colin we came up with three possible scenarios to explain this:

1) He's an angler
2) He likes feeding the birds
3) He works on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and is storing them a) so they can mature in time for the next series and/or b) current events are driving up mealworm prices and he's stockpiling.

He can't be Dr. Worm though because as They Might Be Giants tell us "I'm not a real doctor, But I am a real worm." Dr. Worm is the opening track on their 1998 mostly live album Severe Tire Damage which I've got but I haven't played for ages so I can't tell you much about it.

Dr. Worm is one of the studio tracks of that album and is a typical TMBG bit of fun.
