Watch They Might Be Giants perform on CONAN

Alternative legends They Might Be Giants perform last night on TBS’s ‘CONAN’ playing a track off their new album ‘I Like Fun’. The fresh song called

“I Left My Body” reminds you why this band has been able to do so many different styles withing the world of alt from doing albums specically meant for kids, to songs that play well as music videos for ‘Tiny Toon Adventures’ to holiday songs that talk about Santa Claus stealing your wife. Yes, these are all things that TMBG has done. Now they are doing song about forgetting your body when you are on a meta-physical journey out of your mortal coil? Yeah, they are pretty special.

If that was not enough delightfully weird musical adventure for you, they also ran the ‘Dial-a-Song’ phone service where you would call a number to hear an brand new song or potential demo that band was working on. It ran from 1983-2006, and came back in 2015 as an app and a website. You can still call it the old fashion way too. Call 844 387-6962.
