Best They Might Be Giants Songs

They Might Be Giants (a.k.a TMBG) is an alternative rock band that has been together since 1982 (30 years as of 2012), and are one of the most prolific bands of all-time in recordings (over 500 original songs). For first decade of its existence, the band was only composed of two members: John Flansburgh on guitar and John Linnell on accordion or saxophone (accompanied only by a drum machine). A full ensemble was formed after the release of Apollo 18, their forth studio album.

Perhaps their most popular song is "Boss of Me," their Grammy Award-winning song that is best known for serving as the theme song for the successful sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle."
The Top Ten
1 Birdhouse in Your Soul

Very catchy very creative. It takes a great musician and lyricist to be able to create a song in the perspective of something as unusual as a nightlite

This is one of the best rock/alternative rock songs in the world, and defintly the best TMBG song.

This song made me stay up all night.

2 Ana Ng
3 Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

This is an awful song and the actual name of the City is CONSTANTINOPLE jerks do you know what istabul means it means to the City a alternate name of CONSTANTINOPLE

Excellent remake from a big band hit from the 40s. This is the version from Flood, not Severe Tire Damage.

Anyone who doesn't love this song, hasn't hear it. It so catchy, you'll be listening to it all day!

4 Don't Let's Start

One of the catchiest, most upbeat and cheerful-sounding songs I've ever heard, just makes me smile

5 Doctor Worm
6 Where Your Eyes Don't Go
7 Fingertips
8 Can't Keep Johnny Down

They haven't yet built the man, that'll keep this ranking down.

9 Particle Man

Catchy, philosophical, and above all, funny. There is so little sense of humor in pop. This is refreshingly different.
