Whistling in the Dark

[mamaluigi6666]

A one came up to me and said, "I'd like to poison your mind." With strong ideas that appeal to you, though, I am not unkind. She looked at me, I looked at something written across her scalp. And these are the words that is faintly said as I tryed to call for help. There's only one thing that i know how to do well, and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you! Be what you're like! Be like yourself!

[mamaluigi6666]

my dad taught me this band. it's his fav, and now it's MINE too! =D

[SteamkingPanda26]

my childhood was this album...weird

[seancoppinger]

5 people are afraid of the dark, and probably can't whistle either

[oak3cbc2]

Dude!!!  Epic!!!

[apostatexp]

It never occurred to me before how the lyrics seem to be about religious people trying to convert him :) I've always loved this song, but I now like it even more with my new interpretation of the lyrics! :D

[zephyrjoy]

one of my favorite songs ever

[quwehiwngvui]

i whistle in the dark every night

[JesusFreakMusicMan]

One of my favorite albums ever, this song was T.M.B.G.s answer to MMMM,MMMM,MMMM,MMMM by Crash Test Dummies

[AmIGeddyLee]

@JesusFreakMusicMan You've got that backwards. Flood was released in 1990, and God Shuffled His Feet was released in 1993.

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@JesusFreakMusicMan I love both of those albums! I'm slowly developing a CTD phase. Thus far, there are three songs I particularly like: Superman's Song, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, and God Shuffled His Feet.

Just saw them last night in STL. Only thing that was sad was that their wasn't enough flood!

[noname76761]

@erinway4They did a flood show on the 13th in San Francisco. Played every song from Flood. I wish you could've seen it, but I'm sure what you saw was just as amazing.

[erinway4]

@noname76761 They did that last time they were here. They were both awesome shows!

[Anonym0109]

@noname76761 Where was I when this happened?

[Mikeybetts]

[A0taku]

3 people cant figure out how to whistle let alone on the dark

[akulkis]

@syaaf17

Why would TMBG mock their own members?

[IZEASGT]

@akulkis Why not?

[crimsondagger1]

This brings me way back. My friends and I used to sing this stuff walking the halls of school. I remember Mr. Graham a brilliant english teacher joining us and, instilling in us the lessons I remember to this day. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

[killamonjaro]

Dude, everytime I hear this song I think I am high.. Lol It's awesome.

[KerryW79]

oh yay! I haven't heard this song for aaaages!!! so good! :o)

[sxstringdad]

Is this song really about Masturbating???? Thats what I was told when I was a young lad.

[stickmeister0]

@sxstringdad I can understand why it would be, but it's about being yourself and not being persuaded by others.

[bakonfreek]

been listening to these guys since I was 2 (1997)

[adolfhitlerthe3rd]

@bakonfreek

If you were born in 1995 and listen to this music now...I give you and your parents an A+ good job...Not a lot of people my age know who they are let alone people as young as you are.

[xXkiwimineXx]

[PaulThePuppetier]

Anyone knows what's this song about?

[cameronnielsen80]

@PaulThePuppetier It's about whistling in the dark...

[rtw123321]

[bleedingheart23]

I listen to whistling in the dark while playing the sega classic shining in the darkness, and they go together perfectly.

[ishouldplayzelda]

a woman came up to the person who dislikes this and poisoned his mind.

[MrViolentHippie]

I was on mushrooms first time i heard this album, i'm hooked.

[AbsintheColour]

Their compositions sometimes remind me of the Beatles

[Berthagertrude]

Bizzare!

[Codeeist]

I remember hitting rocks with sticks for like 6 years while listening to this song.

[masterflanrecordsuk]

[PaulThePuppetier]

@masterflanrecordsuk worry not,another person made the same mistake

[stuffattack]

[turtelyturtleclub]

Flood was the best i think, its a tie between flood and lincoln

[lindseyrosso100]

Wow. I haven't heard that one since the '90's. Nice. Flood was one of my favorite CD's, back in the day. Thanks for taking me back in time, but I'd rather be whistling in the dark.

I think I am who I am today because of their song "Cowtown".

I'm going down to Cowtown. The cow's a friend to me.
