No!

They Might Be Giants

A surrealist pop record for the young and young-at-heart. Bright accordions and digital drums meet lyrics about grocery bags, museums, and the power of saying no.

June 11, 2002 · TMBG Music

A bright, inquisitive energy that celebrates the strange logic of childhood and the comfort of a good night's sleep.

Moments Worth Listening For

The mechanical, vocoded precision of the robot voices in Robot Parade that feels both futuristic and vintage.

The sudden, jarring transition from the upbeat Fibber Island to the ticking-clock anxiety of Four of Two.

The way the cello and violin in Violin create a sophisticated, slightly melancholic counterpoint to the absurd lyrics.
