TMBG, first thing that came to mind "Their Money Be Gone", but it's something about Giants.

yea you are on the right track. I believe there is some doubt whether they are in fact giants or not.

What are we going to do unless they are?

My favorite band of all time. They Might Be Giants. If you like this you should check out their other stuff. They've been a band since 1982 and have very many albums.

Oh they are giants cuz they did the theme song for malcom in the middle and other hits.

I figure we could all eat hamburgers because that video made me want a hamburger. Or what if we made grilled cheese sandwiches and put hamburger patties inside? I guess thats just a cheeseburger with toasted white bread.

No matter I suggest hamburgers.

And we can't forget their delightful videos on Animaniacs.

Act now, and we'll include a crap load of dunkin' donuts commercials!

tried to get the message in the singular thread, it apparently failed. It was one of their old hits.

The people that introduced me to TMBG (and made the connection for me that the John Henry CD art was in fact a human skull on the ground turning around) told me the music was intended for LSD trips. I don't know if that's true, but they heard a LOT more shit in the songs than I could hear. I enjoyed it all the same, minus the acid, although at times the music was trippy.

I don't think the intent was anything drug related. It is hard to say but my impression is that the guys have never been on anything harder than black coffee. I have no evidence to back this up. It is just my feeling from listening to them for decades.

I doubt it's true, but they sure believed it and were adamant about it. I'm sure anything you listen to on LSD sounds like acid trip music. I feel more at home with the "nerd rock" label some people give them.
