Maybe the main reason I love They Might Be Giants (TMBG) so much is the quirky humor they often emply in both music and lyrics. These quotes are among my favorites. In an alternate universe, I would learn to play the accordian and form a TMBG cover band. It would be called, naturally, "They Might Be TMBG".
I was out by myself in the graveyard.
I was doing an interpretive dance
when I felt something heavy and pointed
strike me in the back of my neck,
and then the ghost of my dance instructor
pushed me down into an open grave,
and as dirt rained down she played a xylophone,
and sang me this song.
"Turn Around", Apollo 18 (Quote 34 of 36)
