Ok these guys have been big for a while now. I think they can take the "they might be" out of their name at this point.

Skibz777 (November 14, 2012)

But if they change their name to "The Giants", that will only give me a reason to hate them more.

That....that was my attempt at a sports joke. I have no idea how the Giants are doing this year. Is it even football season?

niveK82 (November 14, 2012)

They just won the Stanley Cup a few weeks ago

loki13 (November 14, 2012)

Yeah, it was close, but they beat out the Cubs and now have a shot at the Triple Crown! As long as Eckersley's knee holds up they should be able to get past the Dolphins.

Skibz777 (November 14, 2012)

Now I may not know a lot about sports, but I certainly know a thing or two about the Dolphins. Hold your tongue, boy, or maybe I'll call up my old friend LARRY CSONKA to hold it for you. >:[

davebrave4 (November 14, 2012)

Funny fuckin' shit.

loki13 (November 14, 2012)

What about just "Giants" Or G.I. Ants?

Skibz777 (November 14, 2012)

How about "We've Finally Started Making Music That's Actually As Smart As We Think We Are"? Then maybe I'd buy a ticket to their show.

loki13 (November 14, 2012)

I just hope the do the Malcom in the Middle Theme song.

davebrave4 (November 14, 2012)

In all seriousness, the Giants have been doing well this season, despite getting smoked this past weekend. And they're gonna get smoked two weeks from now, too, since Clay Matthews and Jordy Nelson should both be healthy by then. Go Pack Go.

They Might be Annoying?

davebrave4 (November 14, 2012)

They Might Be Overdressed

davethedumbass (November 14, 2012)

They call him Dr. Worm

NotSteven (November 14, 2012)

I gotta admit I like that song. But play it up a 4th (in B major rather than F#) and it's much better.

Skibz777 (November 14, 2012)

They Might Be Adept At Writing Extremely Catchy Pop Songs But Don't Offer Anything More Substantial Than Their Contrived "Quirkiness" Which Only Gets More Irritating And Stale With Each Successive Album?

joltman (November 15, 2012)

And how many TMBG albums have you listened to?

Skibz777 (November 15, 2012)

After starting with the 'Dial-A-Song: 20 Years of...' compilation, I've heard 'They Might Be Giants', 'Lincoln', 'Flood', 'John Henry', 'Mink Car', 'The Spine', and only bits of 'Here Come the ABCs' onwards, as I didn't have enough interest to listen to those albums in full.

Skibz777 (November 15, 2012)

In short, if I want quirky '80s college rock, I'll stick with Camper Van Beethoven, thank you very much. *sniff*

joltman (November 15, 2012)

They might be big, big, fake, fake lies

davebrave4 (November 15, 2012)

Contrived quirkiness. That's about as apt a description as one could give for this band. Good work sir.

BarleyPat (November 15, 2012)

Agreed, and I actually enjoy some of their music, but the contrived quirkiness is annoying, old, and stale as others have said. My daughter likes the 'Here Come's Science" album for kids though, I picked it up at a garage sale a couple years back for a buck.

On a related note, she was singing along to Gaslight last night (she's 3), so I'm pretty happy about that.

joltman (November 15, 2012)

Needed to have a valid thread here. TMBG are so freaking awesome live. I've taken friends that weren't in to them, never heard of them and they enjoyed the hell out of it. Can't wait to see them for the 11th time in Baltimore!
