Watch Spoon Rip Through "Hot Thoughts" on 'Ellen'

This will likely also introduce them to your neighbor's dog sitter or whoever.

Did you listen to Hot Thoughts? It was pretty good! Spoon are a band that have consistently made creative and not-boring rock music! They've been going for more than twenty years!!! In any case, Ellen DeGeneres has also been doing her thing for more or less the same amount of time. Recognizing this, ("I love this band," she says) the entertainment lifer brought the indie rock lifers on her stage to play the title track from Hot Thoughts.

It's much less theatrically wacky than Ellen's previous performances over the past few months, but in this case it works because Spoon fucking rip live. Who needs senior citizens dancing when you have a piano break that slaps that hard? Who knew that piano breaks could slap, period? Other than Spoon, probably Elton John. You can watch the performance below.

Phil's ears melted when he first heard the bass line to "Don't You Evah." He's on Twitter.
