theme song for December. particularly the dreaded twelfth of December.
OH HEY MY BIRTHDAY’S IN DECEMBER TOO. Also, I am quite amused by “Older” at the kids’ shows etc. “LET’S INSTILL THE FEAR OF MORTALITY IN THOSE KIDS EARLY.”
“All Net Knowledge” is an anagram for “Long Tall Weekend”.
These are things you need to know.
They Might Be Giants - Certain People I Could Name
Favorite TMBG song at the moment.
OMGGGGGGGG I was listening to this on the plane today for like 2 hours. Count the arms, the legs and heads and then divide by five.
Certain People I Could Name - from Long Tall Weekend.
TMBG Thursday. I love the guitar riff on the chorus. As well as the lyrics.

Older - They Might Be Giants
I don’t even remember where I got this, but this is a demo recording of Older. In my opinion it’s the best version of this song. I’d like to point out the opening, guitar with a wonderful bass counterpart, the overall aggressiveness of the song, and the deliciously awkward keyboard solo near the end. Anyway, just listen.
My sources tell me this is in fact a radio performance although no one seems to know where or when (I was wondering how there was a demo around I didn’t know about!), but it’s pretty cool at any rate. LOL @ “deliciously awkward keyboard solo.”
