okay so dumb question for anyone who still likes/listens to They Might Be Giants in 2018;

the song "Spider." I figure most people assume it's about Spider-man, but does anyone else assume the guy saying "I promise not to kill you" is Doctor Doom, and "Step on Spider!" or "Must... stop..." is the Hulk?

@Leucrotta Well I do /now/. :-P

Though I generally can't shake the first association I made, which was an AMV short featuring Lupin III. youtu.be/-0-5WtJmmdM

Huh. TMBG also did a cover of the Spider-Man theme song? Neat! youtu.be/zticlDy_q_4

@emanate it’s so weird to hear a version of the song and have it NOT be The Ramones! Thanks!
