Just so you know that my days are not entirely devoted to fretting about Trump and conspiracy belief taking over the United States, on Saturday I listened to Spotify for the first time in months, and it chose a 2006 song for me which I might have heard before, but I'm not sure: Re: Your Brains. It's a very amusing lyric with a nice melody, and as such has a definite They Might be Giants vibe about it. (No doubt, this is why Spotify knew I might like it.) Reading about the songwriter/performer Jonathan Coulton, I see he is from Brooklyn and does indeed know TMBG (he's played with at least one of the Johns).
It also seems that Coulton is/was very big in the nerd/gamer world, writing some songs used in some very popular games (which I have not played.) Seems I should listen to some of his old stuff.
Anyway, I take it he doesn't do proper videos, but lets lots of people make their own. This one, with deaf signing for the lyrics, struck me as pretty fun to watch:
