I get a lot of people coming to theynow.com looking for “Dog on Fire”, the tune composed by Bob Mould and performed by They Might Be Giants as part of all the incidental music they recorded for The Daily Show.

I’ve played the most complete recording I’ve ever encountered on the show already, but since “you asked for it,” here it is again. It’s not complete, but it is a lot more of the song than you usually hear on The Daily Show: Bob Mould, as interpreted by They Might Be Giants: “Dog on Fire”.

If you like that recording, I’ve got a lot more for you in the podcast. Take a listen and see if you might want to be a free subscriber.

• Pencil Rain — by TV’s Kyle
• Nothing’s Gonna Change My Clothes — Adam Rivera a.k.a. Count Spatula

• Welcome to the Jungle — bonus song included primarily because of the pun opening, but it’s a good recording in its own right
