skybluesky Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I should have titled this thread Martin and Tim to my rescue. I would like to download some TMBG songs and so far I have on my list Ana Ng Birdhouse in Your Soul Boss of Me Don't Let's Start Istanbul (Not Constantinople) Particle Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm interested to see what young Mr. Lizard chimes in with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Baloni Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Haha why does the sunshine! I know that one! What's the one, I think it's called I am a grocery bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Might I suggest everything they've ever released? But as that would take a while, you should add, along with Martin's... Pet Name Experimental Film The Mesopotamians Snail Shell They'll Need A Crane They Might Be Giants (Yes, it's also one of their songs) Hovering Sombrero There, I think you've got a good sample of their works from what you have already, plus Martin's and my suggestions.

skybluesky Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks Martin and Tim, and thank you to another songfacter who offered generous help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 The only song I've heard by them is "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" from back in the day. But I am newly intrigued since my beloved C-girl is so obsessed with them. I also trust Martin and Tim with my very life, so this can only be a good thing.

Farin Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 start with the ones from the first post... that are the most famous ones I bet you even know one or two ("Boss of Me" was the theme song in "Malcolm in the Middle") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I am most familiar with The Hot Dog Song, and dance around to it like a fool quite frequently. http://youtube.com/watch?v=wePMYM4av6Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sugar peep, I am honored I've gently bullied you into watching The Office, liking my dirty cherbub, and snarfing gallons of Americone Dream, but all credit must go to Martin and Tim on this one. If I can get you to listen to Travis, I would just be over the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 "Flood" is their most well-known album. By now you've probably got all the singles from "Flood",( ), but I would also recommend the tracks "Dead" and "Lucky Ball And Chain". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 The album "Here Come The ABC's!" is awesome. Sure, it's for kids, but I love it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 is that with the one where they name the nations in alphabetical order? I like that song Zimbabweeeeeeeeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yes, "The Alphabet Of Nations" - "Algeria, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Dominica, Egypt, France, The Gambia..." I used to have it memorized, when my daughter listened to it daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 (not TMBG) and then there's also: Nations of the World ~ Yakko Warner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 (not TMBG) and then there's also: Nations of the World ~ Yakko Warner I immediately thought of Yakko, too! Blind-fitter mentioned "Lucky Ball and Chain", which is another great one that I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
