Trivia/Info
- In 2017, TMBGkids, the official YouTube channel utilized for They Might Be Giants's children's material, reuploaded most of the music videos from Here Come The ABCs, Here Come The 123s and Here Comes Science, despite most of the videos from the aforementioned albums already being available on YouTube. Many of these uploads featured demos and/or early mixes which were used as a foundation for the videos before the finished versions of the songs were completed. In the case of this song, the following differences are noted in the audio as well as the visual portions of the music video:
- An alternate lead vocal take is used throughout the song, noticeably sounding as if Flansburgh is a short distance away from the microphone. In addition, at the end of the song, the lyrics are sung in an additional slightly higher voice that is overlaid on top of the low voice.
- The intro is different, with a brief drum fill at the beginning and drums being played throughout it. The visuals show a few of the images shown during the drum fill in the middle of the song.
- Instead of fading into a visual with stars when the Big Bang is mentioned, a blue painted backdrop is dropped behind the boy, who proceeds to cover his ears as an object on the left side of the screen explodes into stars.
- The child interfering with a boy's paper clip tower does not open their eyes after laughing.
- The bus passing during the city sequence is not seen until after the child runs off screen, and does not yield. This was most likely changed to avoid encouraging reckless pedestrian behavior.
