"Never Gonna Wipe My Butt": Mystery Revealed!

Remember back in October when I wrote a post titled, "Tim & Eric + "My Butt" + The Shins" = What?"? Googling these search terms brought up a ridiculous video of the Shins performing a bizarre song called "Never Gonna Wipe My Butt."

At the time I said,

"Adult Swim, I don't need your help finding videos of indie-popsters singing about wiping their butts. What I need from you are new Tim and Eric episodes."
Well, just color me corrected, because Adult Swim IS showing new episodes, and on the most recent one, the original version of "Never Gonna Wipe My Butt" was shown. If you are a fan of Tim and Eric, this won't faze you. If you're not, beware.



At the end of this same episode, viewers were treated to a clip of The Shins playing an acoustic version of the song in the Tim and Eric studio, followed by Tim and Eric shaking their heads and saying, "I don't think it's gonna work."

I disagree: if nothing else, the song might have added some pep to Wincing the Night Away. Ouch...

Tim & Eric + "My Butt" + The Shins = What?


This might be the greatest shoutout on the Shin's behalf since Garden State. As I watched Adult Swim last night, a prompt appeared on the screen, asking me to scrounge YouTube for, you guessed it, "Tim & Eric," "My Butt," and "The Shins." Little monkey that I am, I followed orders and found this nugget of insanity:



As much as I love the Shins, Adult Swim, I don't need your help finding videos of indie-popsters singing about wiping their butts. What I need from you are new Tim and Eric episodes.


Note that the person responsible for posting said video is named "The Taintster." Sigh.
