Okay, Okay, settle down everyone.
Okay, please, please.
Alright, it's showtime everyone.
Listen, I've got a story to tell.
When I first accepted the job as personal manager and stylist for They Might Be Giants, the boys said:
"Mario, integrity is everything! You keep the money.
We'll live on love--the love we have for sophisticated head-bobbing music!"
But I told them, "You guys are gonna have to change everything! Flansburgh, you need new clothes.
That fringe jacket and platform shoes thing is completeley out! And Linnell, shave the beard and get yourself a hair transplant.
Maybe an accordion would be good.
I don't know."
Boy, were those guys mad at me.
But it's all water under the bridge, now.
I'll tell ya, my boys have crossed over with a look and sound all my own.
I guess you could say I made them, but I prefer to think I simply own them.
Ladies and gentlemen, my boys, the only band that refuses to be a force to be reckoned with, those twin quasars of rock, let's give a warm round of applause for They Might Be Giants!
They Might Be Giants sono un duo alternative pop/rock formatosi nel 1982 da John Linnell e John Flansburgh. Originari di Lincoln, Massachusetts, i due si sono conosciuti al liceo prima di intraprendere strade diverse dopo la laurea. Si sono riuniti a New York, dove hanno dato vita al gruppo. They Might Be Giants sono noti per il loro stile musicale caratterizzato da testi ironici e melodie orecchiabili, spesso con influenze sperimentali. Il loro successo più grande è stato "Birdhouse in Your Soul", un brano che ha raggiunto la top 10 delle classifiche americane nel 1992. Tra gli album più importanti figurano "Flood" (1990), "Here Come the ABCs" (2009) e "Why Does the Sun Shine?" (2015). Oltre a "Birdhouse in Your Soul", altri brani rappresentativi sono "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", "Why Does the Sun Shine?" e "Particle Man".
