If you’re interested in following how this show is made, you can follow me on Twitter. It’ll be more about podcasting and less about They Might Be Giants, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyway, in the spirit of transparency.

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”.
