This Might Be Lemmy: They Might Be Giants (tmbg) Community

Original by Doohan on TMBW Discord server:

Title a reference to their song "You Probably Get That A Lot", music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anWrcmKsYI8

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

Someone was selling a bit from their collection off the TMBW Discord. I'd been wanting "We've Got a World That Swings" and "Sensurround" for quite some time, so I snapped it. It came with the hype sticker, so I took a scan of it. It was a bit beat up, so after some post-processing, I intend to upload it to the wiki along with the inner box art, which the wiki is missing.

P.S: Speaking of the TMBW Discord, honestly, it's an awesome place. I know many of us (me included) are FOSS hipsters me on Lemmy, but I'm actually more active there. It's a pretty hopping community - join link on TMBW if you want to check it out.

I just threw this together. I felt it was a very relevant song, though I also could have put Riker clips to it and had it work just as well.

Decided to fix up Linnell's hair and give Flans a Chess Master.

Shut up and get with Garak, dude. (Also, a nod to the amusing show banter in the Live at the Music Hall of Williamsburg recording.)

I also posted this on the tmbw Discord.

I know it’s mostly Hearst doing the backing track, but man does it feel straight off State Songs.

What’s your preferred version of “Another First Kiss”?

Honestly, I feel like there is no real competition with Severe Tire Damage version - the Mink Car one is kind of weak. Still, thought I’d ask.

I’ve heard Linnell didn’t like it, and I think he’s wrong. 😂

Flans looks like the statue really did get him high in that last frame frame

I have several that I've leaned towards over the years, but I recently added "Cyclops Rock" to my repertoire.

I wonder if it's just coincidence, if this inspired the Johns (I know they're Ramones fans, or if the two songs share a common ancestor.

What are your favorite songs off Factory Showroom? I personally enjoy:

• Spiraling Shape
• The Bells are Ringing
• 'Til My Head Falls Off
• Sing Like a Girl

Moral of the story: don't disregard the fire laws.

"Boss of Me" might be my favorite Flans song... besides "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head"... and "Music Jail"... and "Let Me Tell You About My Operation"... and "If Day for Winnipeg". Nevermind. Please don't make me choose a favorite Flans song.

A challenge for everyone here: come up with one favorite inverted version of a TMBG song or album.

Mine: Short Short Business Week

I stumbled upon this the other day and was a bit surprised that someone else on this planet both knows what The Prisoner is and is a fan of TMBG.

I just love the vibes so much.

I don't know how I could have survived an age without the 1999 studio leaks.

Have any of you guys heard of the Blasting Company/Petrojvic Blasting Company before? I find them TMBG-like in the sense that they have often dark, bizarre lyrics and play with accordions and horns, albeit in more of a folk/swing revival-esque way.

For those who haven't heard the band, a good song to demonstrate what I'm talking about is "Princess Andy".

John Henry has its 30th birthday tomorrow!

What are your favorites off this album? Thoughts in general?

Personally, I think it’s a crime Mrs. Train and Welcome to the Jungle were excluded from the final album. Still waiting for Superfueld Freaksicle. 😉

Also, the TMBG merch shop’s having a sale, including a free download of the mastered demos and 20% off anything with the code TMBGWORLD, if anyone’s interested.

Jury's still out about being a real worm, though.
