They Might Be Giants

Discuss this brilliant group.

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
While I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts

Tell me this isn't poetry

i don't want the world
i just want your half

Now I know
Why they said
Not to cut
The blue wire

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
Exit wound in a foreign nation
Showing the home of the one this was written for
My apartment looks upside down from there
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
And her voice is a backwards record
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends

I Palindrome I will always remain their greatest song, so bizarrely upbeat and happy considering the morbid topic.

BUt yes, these guys smurfing rule.

I'm going to play I Palindrome I at my mother's funeral.

Do you mind, excuse me
I saw you over there
Can I just tell you
Although there are millions of
Cephalophores that wander through this world
You've got something extra going on
I think you probably know

I think I'm going to go see them later in the year. Brilliant group, obviously; and one of the more impressive drum kits I've ever seen. And they release music for kids!
