“They’ll Need a Crane” by They Might Be Giants from Lincoln (1988).

Lincoln

No, it’s not cool to say, but I cannot deny that They Might Be Giants helped get me through high school.

Did you know? (or rather Do you care?) They Might Be Giants get their name from a 1971 film of the same name, which in turn got it’s name from a Don Quixote passage about Quixote’s thoughts on windmills.

This is the first song They Might Be Giants ever played live on television.  Watch it here.  And please stop stuffing me in that locker.

TMBG

I always like the songs better than what they write.
