Last week, I watched an episode of Bob’s Burgers, “The Millie-churian Candidate.” In it, Teddy Francisco has an argument with Bob about which of them has the best tool: Teddy’s hammer or Bob’s new chef’s knife. At one point, Teddy says, “I made a video of my hammer bounding nails. I put a Natalie Merchant song under it… Wanna read some of comments, Bobby? Look at this guy: he says, ‘Nailed it!’ Ha ha ha! Ah, the internet!”
So the end of the episode featured Larry Murphy as Teddy singing “Wonder.” As a result, I haven’t been able to get the song out of my head. Even though I think Murphy better gets to the emotional core of song, here is Natalie Merchant doing it:
He really got to the emotional core of “Wonder.”
Men and their tools!
