They made the theme song for the television show "Malcolm in the Middle". Great show.

I think they are great. I used to have a violin teacher who would play the riffs from Istanbul all the time.

My Man, I believe it's on Mink Car.

My one problem with TMBG is that when they put a new album out you may only get 3 at the most new songs if you already have a bunch of their albums.

Lincoln is one of my favorites. Purple Toupee is an history lesson, Santa's Beard is super rocking sad. The guy I work with now uses the term Shoehorn with teeth for anything explaining a customer needing something useless to him....

This thread has also inspired me to learn 'Turn Around'. The tabs are prety simple ffteh'guitar.

What albums do you have? I'll let you know what albums you need.

Do you have Mink Car? That is one of the newer ones my brother picked up, and Dial a Song.

Hey....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Might_be_Giants#Studio_albums

I have (or have access to) all the studio albums excluding 'No' / Long Tall Weekend / The Spine / and Here Come the ABC's. I may actually have access to ABC's since my friend has kids and said TMBG's do kids songs now, and his kids love it.

I also have Severe Tire Damage from the live list.

From the compilations list I have or have access to Then / Dial-A-Song / They Got Lost (2002)

I guess I was let down when my brother had let me listen to Dial-A-Song and I only heard one new song.
