It’s wild that this is clearly based on the Spiderman theme but we ALL came here with They Might Be Giants on the brain
Where do you think Spidey’s theme came from? 🤦🏼♂️
Uh… time travelling musicians?

Ok, doc, then how can I hear you? You’re about as 2D as they come. 🤷🏼♂️
Hey now, dimensionality? Let’s keep it civil.
It’s 1am an I am deeply offended by such a personal attack.
Is he depressed or is he a mess? Does he feel totally worthless? Who came up with person man? Degraded man, person man
I can’t hear that song without watching this video: https://youtu.be/LsAiCs66l40
I first heard the song put to DBZ clips. So I can’t hear this verse without seeing Krillin getting clobbered.
Here’s me finishing it in my head with a Knick knack paddy wack give a dog a bone, human man is rolling home
Just realised that old rhyme seems maybe offensive to Irish people with paddy wack, makes sense for a lot of old English nursery rhymes…

Paddy-wagon is attested by 1930, perhaps so called because many police officers were Irish. Paddywhack (1811) originally meant “an Irishman;” with the second element apparently added vaguely for emphasis.
It’s not clear if it’s a slur or not, or just slang for referring to an Irishman.
I think it might be closer to referring to a Scotsman as “a Scot” than anything pejorative.
Then again, you never know with the English… and it ultimately comes down to how the Irish feel about it
I think anything that’s slang for an ethnic group has like a 90% probability of being a slur
