They Might Be Giants, and I might be a fan...

In fact, I am, but I needed the phrase to make the title snappy and witty...

Anyway, I'm not one to go sharing like this on a public level, but I'm really starting their music from their early work to Venue Songs. I'm just wondering if we've got any other They MIght Be Giants fans here? For info on these crazy guys, check www.tmbw.net (info-ladden wiki) and www.tmbg.com (official site).

Exquisite dead guy
Swear I saw his mouth move

Actually that song was done by a group named Taco, though it's commonly atributed to TMBG...

Only heard a few songs.
Particle Man, Istanbul (Not Constantinople) and Ana Ng are three great songs.

Oh, someone noticed me.

And they date back to the early '80s.

Don't they do the music for "Malcolm in the Middle" too?
I haven't heard much of their stuff other than "Here Come the ABC's!"
