Tyler has fought only two
things in our career.
Recording the theme song
to The Big Bang Theory
and a song called "One
Week"...Number one...
♪ ♪
The theme to The Big Bang
Theory has become an integral...
Integral?
Part of our set.
Integral...
Integral
Part of the set indeed.
Just like, you know
science is an integral
part of most band
repertoire, ours for sure.
I mean if we're not
singin' about science
we're not singin'.
Well it...we did it first,
you know maybe five years ago?
Six years ago?
We decided to try it in a
set and people loved it.
Yeah
Like I didn't realize it
would become such a staple
in the live set.
Well it gets played on TV
probably twenty, thirty,
times a day in every
market around the world.
So that's pretty good.
Oddly it's probably our
most famous song right now.
[Laughing]
Ty knew right away.
Yeah, you know,
I can pick em.
They call me the hit man.
Ty basically refused to
even come into the city to
work on the track.
And I was like "c'mon Ty,
I wrote the song,
the producers of the show
are really nice"
and reluctantly he finally
agreed to come in and his
final words were "This
better be the next Seinfeld"
I think it was more like
"This better be the next
effing Seinfeld"
and low and behold, bigger
than Seinfeld.
Tyler has fought only two
things in our career.
Recording the theme song
to The Big Bang Theory
and a song called "One Week"...
Number one...
Number one single.
Number one single.
Number one comedy.
Ty fought em both.
Yeah what they do now is
they bring in the song,
and they go "does
Tyler hate it?
Let's go with it" Boom
We call it the
Inverse Tyler Rule.
Well, you know I,
"strong and wrong"
I believe is the phrase.
I have no...sometimes
you're just wrong but I
don't mind goin for it.
That's the drummer in me.
You just stick it out
there, loud, wrong,
don't know when to come in
but everyone starts
dancing eventually.
I mean I think that's,
it's one of the strong
suits of this band is the
fact that we're still
busting Tyler's
ass about that.
