h3. And a New Trivia Question!
h6. I had to leave the air conditioning on while recording, or there wouldn’t have been a show at all. I hope the background noise is somewhere between undetectable and not distracting.
h6. If you like this show, it would be super cool if you would link to theynow.com, and be sure to include either “TMBG” or “They Might Be Giants” in the link text. Thanks!

Jeez, you’re making the trivia too easy. :D
Well, time to give someone else a chance!
CapitalQ
What Am I Doin’ by The Monkees.
Casey
Haw, I just realized that they’re both covers. Lines Upon A Tranquil Brow is originally by Walt Kelly, and was released in 1956 on Songs of the Pogo. Casey should still get the prize. :D
CapitalQ
AND Lines Upon A Tranquil Brow by Walt Kelly. It just slipped my mind that it was a cover after hearing it so many times.
Casey
Hah, thanks CapitalQ. : ) Trick questions! >_
Casey
Aw man! I knew this one too!
Molly
P.S. - There was an air conditioner on during the show?
Molly
And I should get points for ESPing this update.
TheBlunderbuss
What was scary about Que Sara? Or about Creepy Doll, even ?
The latin song was really cool, though.
Bibliophilia
Nice show! It’s great to finally have a recording of TMBG’s Doh Doh Island song! Just curious, but what exactly is that Ubernöstrum song? It appears to be a You Don’t Know Jack commercial, but is there any TMBG connection?
Drew
Congratulations, Casey!
Biblio: nothing scary, just sad. If I said “scary,” I meant to say “sad.”
Drew: No connection (that I know of), I just thought it was really funny.
Mr. Me
There is also a Play-dough crystal caves commercial They did.
TheBlunderbuss
I LOVE You Don’t Know Jack!!! And Phil Ridelli(spelling), a host of a couple of the games, is a fan of TMBG! That’s so cool that you put that up there.

Thanks for finding the MIDIs, although I was hoping to get MY MIDI version of South Carolina out to the masses first. Oh well. (And uh, that midi version differs a lot from the song, IMO)
Speaking of MIDIs, I’ll take any MIDI you have and make it sound much better than the MIDI wavetables you have.
Side note:You Don’t Know Jack was made in Chicago
TheBlunderbuss
Sad shmad…I’ve always thought ‘Que Sera Sera’ was one of the most uplifting songs around…beautiful cover too…
