Music They Might Be Giants - Tonight!

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Thu, Sep 27 at 11:43 AM

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
“I don’t want the world, I just want your half”

As a blurry-eyed kid who could barely stay awake to midnight in order to record 120 Minutes (Lewis Largent! Kennedy!), songs/videos like this absolutely fascinated me.

Who was Ana Ng?
What happened on the bench at the ‘64 World’s Fair?

Regardless, the song has aged very well, as has most of TMBG’s catalog.

They Might Be Giants perform at Roseland tonight.

Linnell went to the 64 World's Fair.

And IIRC Anna Ng was just a random name applied to a girl who would conceivably be on the opposite side of the world from him.

(Lewis Largent! Kennedy!)

Dave Kendall for the win.

Don't you come to my blog and be dropping Dave Kendall references on me!

Man, that was rad, I totally forgot about him. Largent was my favorite, he seemed like the friendly stoner with a great record collection.
