This is They Might Be Giants playing “Doctor Worm,” the openning track of their 1996 album, Severe Tire Damage.

Severe Tire Damage was the first They Might Be Giants album I owned, and I still love a number of songs on it.  TMBG often gets pegged as a children’s band, but they have produced so much material that it isn’t really fair.  Their music is quirky, and accessible, so it is natural that kids like it, but it also has unconventional instrumentation and complicated chord progressions.  If the singer had an incredibly sensitive voice, they’d probably be indie rock heroes.

Sincerley,

Reverend Harris
