TMBG’s Can’t Keep Johnny Down winner

John Hodegman has spoken.  As the sole judge in They Might Be Giant’s “” music video contest, Hodgeman got to pick the winning submission all by himself.  Here’s the video he selected:

Winner. Prize: $1,000 and a pizza from the pizzeria of the winner’s choice:

Yes, the prize was a thousand bucks and a Pizza. So how did John Hodgeman do as a judge?  Pretty goddamn good if you ask me. That video kept me mesmerized from beginning to end.   And you know what? I like the song too.  TMBGs is one of my favorite bands and thanks to this video contest, I’m gonna go out and buy their new album.  By “go out and buy their new album” I mean I’ll buy it off iTunes.  But you get my point. So I tip my hat to whoever came up with this video contest.  It will probably, actually result in increased sales.

They Might be Giants announces music video contest

They Might Be Giants is one of my favorite bands so I had to post this. Today the group announced that they’re running a music video contest to correspond with the release of their new album, Join Us.  The prize is $1,000 and a pizza from the pizzeria of the winners’ choice.  Sure, that’s not a big prize but this isn’t the kind of contest you enter because of the money.  This is the kind of contest you enter for the GLORY of winning.  In a weird twist, John Hodgeman will be the one and only judge of this competition.  So if you can manage to win a They Might Be Giants music video contest that is judged by John Hodgeman, you’re guaranteed rock solid nerd cred for life.  For the full contest details, check out what is probably the best contest announcement video I’ve ever seen:
