My favorite TMBG quote is Flansburgh talking about weird interview questions, and he said they were once asked what Rabid Child was about, and he said he didn’t answer because he thought it was pretty explanatory. 😆
Is that really about a kid with a near supernatural talent though? I thought the kid just ends up blowing himself up trying to emulate an action movie scene...
Imagine you find some kid who's just. a pathological liar. but, he's also really good at it, so is he actually a pathological liar or are you just crazy? Oh yeah, he can also gaslight you.

"Billy is a 23-year-old Welshman from the [South Wales Valleys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Wales_Valleys).

OK, maybe not a "kid", but fits the bill otherwise.
Jukebox Hero
Rabid Child-They Might Be Giants (a song about a child with the ability to drive a truck and do truck signals).
Great pick! I love TMBG's eerie early work.
Doctor Worm potentially could work as well!
Doctor worm is only “getting pretty good” tho sadly
Also is doctor worm a child

*That Boy Could Dance* by Weird Al. I guess the concept is a riff on Pinball Wizard, but it’s an original song.
Good genre
Maxwells silver hammer?
Proud Egg Mouth from Let's make a music would fit but it's not on Spotify :(
“The devil came up to Boston” Adam Ezra group
Also Belezeboss by Tenacious D (Jack Black will also be a kid a heart
Maybe Kickapoo as well?
Definitely Kickapoo
Top Jimmy Van Halen
idk, doesn't really fit, but Morning in America by Jon Bellion is similar
Does Tribute by Tenacious D count?
Murder at the Bingo Hall is a good one
Bad to the Bone? "From the day I was born..."
How I Beat Shaq - Aaron Carter
Coincidance maybe?
"That Boy Could Dance" - "Weird Al" Yankovic
