They Might Be Giants showcased their lively performance of "Doctor Worm" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, featuring a unique brass arrangement that supports their recent album, Beast of Horns. The performance highlighted the duo's energetic stage presence, with vocalist John Linnell humorously proclaiming he is "not a real doctor" but "a real worm." This appearance coincides with the launch of their 2025 US tour, set to take place in various cities including San Francisco and Seattle, further promoting their brass-centric live album.
They Might Be Giants stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday night to perform an extra-brassy version of "Doctor Worm," a single from their 1998 live album Severe Tire Damage.
Beast of Horns is their latest, brass-centric live album, which hit the shelves last summer. The band is about to kick off the second leg of their 2025 US tour.
Their Beast of Horns rendition of "Doctor Worm" is as zany and absurd as the original, with vocalist John Linnell repeatedly clarifying that he is "not a real doctor".
The band plays with loads of energy, epitomized by the brass section's frequent spotlight moments and Linnell and John Flansburgh's electric chemistry.
