ATTENTION TV VIEWERS OF THE LATE 70s-EARLY 80s



I dare you not to hum a certain TV theme while you gaze upon this picture!

They Might Be Giants' 2004 tour album Almanac contains a bizarre live version of "Particle Man" in collaboration with Corn Mo, in which said TV theme makes a inexplicable appearance at the end played as an accordion-and-drum march. It sounds pretty good.

Funky... all The Bobs added to their version (which they're not allowed to perform any more) is the word, 'Waiter!'

...which probably came from a live perf, eh? :)

Why can't they do it anymore?

I heard that they were asked by TMBG to not perform it any more. I've heard they've since started doing 'Dinner Bell', which I have yet to hear.

And yes, it probably did. Back when I was able to go to live performances, and back when they were still performing it, I was usually the person in the audience who yelled, 'Waiter'. And Matthew does yell that on the Cover the Songs Of... album.

I still love the version of Particle Man on "Then" with the second graders and the piano accompaniment and n'hey.
