1 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH21QovdhZs "Everything Right Is Wrong Again"]], the first track of their [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled]] [[Music/TheyMightBeGiantsAlbum debut album]], is a great way to kick it off with its awesome synth riffs, Linnell's energy-filled vocals and in the middle of the song, it slows down and becomes psychedelic. |
2 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAmFTmCs3IY "Don't Let's Start"]], which was their first single. Although it didn't chart, the accompanying music video gained a ton of air time on MTV and is a prime example of the channel's early appeal to oddball acts such as them. |
3 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRmMvquBfAo "Hide Away Folk Family"]] features John Flansburgh's haunting vocals backed by John Linnell's equally haunting accordion work. |
4 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-3sIJ_N3mw "32 Footsteps"]] and its awesome harmonica solo and Flansburgh's scatting. |
5 | * ''Music/{{Flood|TheyMightBeGiants}}'' has multiple examples: |
6 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Am-BF7ObCI "Birdhouse In Your Soul"]], the band's biggest hit, is both musically complex and incredibly catchy. |
7 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsAiCs66l40 "Particle Man".]] Good luck getting it out of your head. |
8 | ** The song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyhGtKAkNTo "Whistling In The Dark"]], which is about ignorance but sounds like the epic soundtrack to a pirate movie. |
9 | ** One of the overlooked songs from that album, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33BTvjZ45MI "Women and Men",]] is infectiously catchy but also remarkably uplifting. |
10 | * [[https://youtu.be/bTxXVhdmdZc "Doctor Worm"]], their studio single off of their live album ''Severe Tire Damage'', is one of their best post-Duo songs. |
11 | * The entirety of the album ''Here Comes Science'', especially to any passionate scientists in the field and anyone looking for some good [[EdutainmentShow edutainment]]. |
12 | * [[https://youtu.be/9bRQUEtH5nw Boat of Car]] is a short but catchy track from their debut album. The original has Margaret Seiler's powerful vocals, and [[https://open.spotify.com/track/0IARQtLmqHk0swuaSoFF8k the redone one]] has an excellent performance from the brass band Other Thing. |
