Oh, yeah. They Might Be Giants is an excellent band.


Plus, there concerts are fun. I learned ten things at the last one:

"NO!" spelled upside down is ION.
On the sun, the Ford Focus is a gas.
Nuclear fusion relies heavily one Ikea Furniture.
Saxaphones are true, but trumpets are really guitar synths masquarading as trumpets.
Yelling "FUCK YEAH!" is an appropriate response to the Lion part of the Spider, and is demanded by Flansburgh.
"Dead" secretly has a silent "H".
When doing the wave, you must always start at the Cocaine Section of Metropol (also known as the Rosebud).
Of the Band of Dans, one is just Dan, one is a Knight, and one is Her Majesty's Ship Dan.
All proceeds from buying T-Shirts with your friends maxed out credit card go to the They Might Be Giants Intergity League.
Yelling "NO!" at Flansburgh results in violent retribution.:)

Plus, my favorite TMBG Song, Mammal.
Glass of milk
Standing in between extinction and the cold and explosive radiating growth
Now the warm blood flows through the large four chambered heart

Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have...
Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog

One of us might lose his hair
But your reminded that it once was there
From the embryonic whale
To the monkey with no tail
So the warm blood flows with the red blood cells lacking nuclei through the large four chambered heart

Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have...
Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog

Placental the sister of her brother marsupiel
There cousin called monotreme
Dead uncle allotheria

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raid a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog
The fox, the ox
Giraffe and shrew
Echinda, caribou...

Person Man,
Person Man.
Hit on the head with a frying pan.
Lives his live in a garbage can.
Person Man.

Is he depressed? Or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with Person Man?
Degraded man.
Person Man.

On a related note, who remembers those Tiny Toons cartoons they did of Instanbul and Paticle Man?

Yes, yes I do. That segment planted the seed of TMBG in the minds of millions of impressionable youths. It was a brilliant move on their part, since I've meet few people my age that haven't seen that segment. It's part of popular culture. :)
