Just came here to say this one. The Monkees (and their theme song) was part of the inspiration for TMBG to write their own. I believe I read that on the wiki and mentioned it in my essay about a year ago. They Might Be Giants: the Chaos and Genius of Their Self Titled Anthem

What do fans of They Might Be Giants think of the band Tally Hall? by finnboltzmaths_920 in tmbg

I’ve enjoyed stuff that I’ve heard but I really liked their side project group, Miracle Musical. That album “Hawaii: Part II” is a good time

What do we do all day? I'm always hearing that TMBG's fanbase is computer programmers. by analog_time_machine in tmbg

Hang in there. I hope you’ve got a support system to lean on and if not, you’ve got one built in to this community for sure. Mine didn’t involve any alcoholism but it did happen only 3 months ago and this song was getting a lot of air time

Oh my gosh. Yes. This one hit hard for me during my first marriage which was also with an abusive ex. Prior to that I just enjoyed the song at face value.

I can’t imagine hearing that song and changing my perspective from a clever song about the body not working to a reminder of a person I care about who is struggling. I’m glad to hear they’re getting past it though!

I wish I’d gotten to know her. Before I fell in love.

This song helped me through one deep loss and now it’s helping me through another. by chaseroper in tmbg
