Good ole They Might Be Giants. Or as they’re hipply known, TMBG. Funny how I listened to them in high school and college, and now here they are, still making songs I want to listen to. Yet, my kids can listen to them too! Now, don’t get me wrong. Before I knew they were making kid albums, I compiled a CD of my favorite TMBG songs that I thought were appropriate for Mr. B, and we listened to that thing until it kicked the bucket. Songs like “Birdhouse In Your Soul,” “Particle Man,” “Women and Men,” and “Doctor Worm.”
Their last kid CD, Here Comes Science has some great tunes on it, like the adorably fun “Electric Car” and “Meet the Elements.” But the most popular one has got to be “I am a Paleontologist.” Geared towards that demographic that Mr. B fits so neatly in – the 4-6 year old circuit of dinosaur lovers. It’s a catchy tune that has a bit of an edginess to it. Like you could mosh to it. Do they still mosh these days?
this song reminded me the story about 2 women having tea. woman #1 complains that her husband doesn’t pay attention to her any more. woman #2 says she’s glad she married a paleontologist cause the older she gets the more interesting she is to her husband…lol
