I have found the hidden meaning in the song.

The dinosaurs are coming. You had best be ready for them, especially considering the repeated nature of the hidden meaning in the song.

This video makes very specific references to Orwellian concepts and draws striking parallels to his novel 1984. The dinosaurs obviously represent big brother’s hidden influence on the curious, yet resentful general public played by none other than Reinhold McPhee-DiCostanzo. As Mr. R clearly played the victim in this situation, which, might I add, is ironic in itself due to the nature of which we keep animals in our house as pets, the plot developed took a turn as the lead guitar voice descended the blues scale and settled for a moment on the flat 5th scale degree. This struck up an array of emotions which caused me to ejaculate slightly. This video had multiple occurrences of allusion to Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” melded with socialist propaganda. The production quality was immaculate. Incredible work again by Paul and Storm, but still, not as good as DaVinci’s Notebook.

You cannot stop the dinosaurs. You can only hope to contain them.

I set up a Reinhold McPhee-DiCostanzo fansite on Facebook.

I can’t get the guitar for this song out of my head, so I keep watching the video, which I enjoy more than I probably should. My favorite part is the montage of the dinos running the red light, smoking and dunking the basketball. Nice job!

Also, I think you’re right about the success of this hinging on Reinhold. He’s definitely got star written all over him.

Definite mainstream appeal to this one and very catchy. Even my friends that don’t like or understand my “geek music” obsession are lovin’ this one!

I WILL find the meaning in this song.

Right after I find the meaning in Mr. Fancy Pants

That was terrible.

Terribly hilarious.

Good for a laugh. Or two! Or none. Whichever you prefer.

Shades of Spinal Tap?

The first thing that came to my mind, of course, was, “Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”

Also, very much enjoyed the homage to The Wall.

Lots of fun. Keep it up! You know that we fans are insatiable.

Oooh, oooh, I second the vote for a children’s album….!

(Making up “expergated” versions of your albums can be a lot of work, especially for the “youngest fan who actually gets the songs”)

Is it me, or do I see some definite experimentation in musical styles going on with you guys these days? This almost sounds like a cross between the White Album and some (non-specific) 70s metal group…

I don’t think there’s any “meaning” to it. I think it’s just a simple formula:

Doin’ some drugs + listenin’ to Blue Oyster Cult = HEre Come the Dinosaurs

Nice song. Great video. It reminds me of the “They Might Be Giants” video podcast. Have you considered recording a children’s album?

There just isn’t enough animation where you see the animators’ hands. After Mr. Bill broke new ground, you would think it would have become all the rage.
