** "Everything You Know Is Wrong" is also awesome for being that rare Weird Al style parody that manages to evoke the feel of a band without specifically resembling any specific song, a fact that Al himself has [[http://www.avclub.com/article/weird-al-yankovic-58244 acknowledged]] as a point of pride. It's an especially fitting accomplishment for a Music/TheyMightBeGiants style parody, as the band's sound has a tendency to change drastically from song to song. (Additionally, the lyrics are a spot-on parody of the surreal, nonsensical narratives that tend to crop up in They lyrics.)

** He changes this up for every opening of the Mandatory Fun Tour. In Chicago he started backstage singing "Tacky" and you get this kind of impression that he filmed a special version of the Tacky video for the tour but he'll walk out on stage half way through the song. Then he gets to the back door of the theater, goes outside into an alley and you think "that looks a little familiar..." Then he turns a corner and you realize "He's outside the theater RIGHT NOW and coming in through the front." None of this is the true moment of awesome. The real moment is when you realize he did it all while walking BACKWARDS.
