Once you've gone back far enough, let it go, and you will hear Token Back To Brooklyn. If you own Mono Puff's "It's Fun To Steal," do the same thing. If you microwave John Henry for 2 minutes, spit on it, then put it in your C.D. player upside down, you will hear it's famous hidden track, "Spitting Contest." Those are the only hidden TMBG tracks (except for the one on Lincoln. But unless you have 3 goats, a human skeleton, and airfare to Thailand, you'll never be able to hear it, anyway. So I just won't go into details).

Thats funny!!!! Anyway you forgot to mention that only name brand imitation CD players will play it and usually it plays them in Dutch, unless you get the A Models whihc will usually play it a half second slow thus totally illimanating the full effect of the second half narration by Flansburgh on why his spit shall win. >If you microwave John Henry for 2 minutes, spit on it, then put it in >your C.D. player upside down, you will hear it's famous hidden track, >"Spitting Contest." ------------------------------ From: CallMeDoctorWorm@aol.com Message-ID: Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 08:28:52 EDT Subject: Re: TMBG: Hidden Tracks Wow. That's weird. I tried the John Henry hidden track thing, but it didn't work. I didn't get Spitting Contest, all I got was an apocalyptic message from John Flansburgh in Aramaic. I guess that makes sense, I only used 2 eggs instead of 4, and I tried to play it in a Sony Betamax. Oh well. "I'm the one who loves you! He's the angry one, with all the swear words!"

Maybe he needs to be reminded that there are lots of other Dans in the world. Hell, there are lots of other Dans in the band.... Maybe if they changed the theme to baloney sammidges, he'd reconsider??

Subject: Re: TMBG: Hidden Tracks Actually, it was a pidgin of Aramaic and Swahili. That's why it sounded so backwards.
