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.
The performance arrived in support of Beast of Horns, the duo’s latest, brass-centric live album, which hit the shelves last summer. They Might Be Giants are also about to kick off the second leg of their 2025 US tour, with shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Salt Lake City, and Seattle to come over the next month.

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” but he is, in fact, “a real worm.” The band, meanwhile, plays with loads of energy, epitomized by the brass section’s frequent spotlight moments and Linnell and John Flansburgh’s electric chemistry. Watch their performance of “Doctor Worm” below.
