"Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
He watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul"
-THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
"Birdhouse in Your Soul"
I remember this group from Middle School. They played that song, 'Triangle Man' quite a bit. This was in my thirteenth year old year of life, when the world was an angry vat of disappointment.
This was the year I was introduced to:
Sonic Youth
Primus
Smashing Pumkins
Nirvana
and:
They Might Be Giants.
It was a cerebral year of music. If you listen to the music of They Might Be Giants, you Might Find Yourself Laughing. Or Crying. Depending on the day.
