I don't know if they mentioned it on Saturday, but on Friday's show, after they did "Exquisite Dead Guy" with the puppet heads, They noted that there had been some controversy on the newsgroup (yeah, that's us!) about how they weren't really singing on that song. Flansburgh looked all hurt and said they spent all that time learning to throw their voices for that bit...and we didn't appreciate it... :-)

Also cool, during part of that song, Flansburgh floated his puppet head over the audience down front, so they had a chance to touch the puppet head. When it became evident that they might damage or destroy the puppet head, he quickly removed it to a safe distance. Honestly, people.

But we at the Friday show did not get to f--king conga.
