They Might Be Giants - Women and Men

[PatrickRob82]

Who else's mind immediately starts playing Sapphire Bullets Of Pure Love when this song ends?

[missuskitteh]

:C My itunes deleted this cd. now I gotta youtube it D:

[MutinousNick]

lol

[jdebruynviolin]

Mixed meters... weird. Good song, though.

[a1b2m13]

Thanks Jerry for reminding how great this song is

[toonuraccoon]

Jerry Holkins told me to come here and listen to this. I think Jerry Holkins is 84% correct 78% of the time.

[Phester11]

@toonuraccoon so completely right 62% of the time.

[toonuraccoon]

@Phester11 I have no idea. However Jerry Holkins would have a 64% chance at knowing the correct answer 78% of the time. So you should consult Jerry Holkins.

[notnotharrison]

thanks penny arcade for directing me here

I used to listen to this album on my walkman on the playground when i was ten. I realize now that was pretty cool of me. I didn't know back then because I didn't know anyone cool enough that would have realized this and given me some credit. If my kid listened to this kind of stuff i would be proud.

[phorsakyn]

@erinloveshobbers yup, "A brand new record, or 1990"

[spliffs333]

I'm trying to upload a portal 2 video that uses minimum wage as part of the background music and I'm running into potential copyright issues. Any tips for me to alleviate this problem?

I can personally send the final edit to anyone who thinks they may be able to lend some advice or someone who just wants to see a badass portal 2 vid. Thanks in advance.

[1onevo]

I want to be universe man !

[JDBeinRandom]

I love this band : )

[steezyzak]

This song is the best ever.

[ShroomSnip3r]

I grew up in the 90's with my Dad playing these songs to me. TMBG, they are awesome.

[Drumhead899]

TMBG is the first band i really grew up on, and looking back on it all now..idk how this album went platinum but it did lol so good for the Johns..

[randyisnot]

This album is the acme of TMBG. They have come close, but never really reaching an album that is cover-to-cover comepletely listenable.

[ezekieloak]

@randyisnot Comment Fail. All of their albums are totally listenable, especially (as you mentioned) because they are so literary (*ahem*) cover-to-cover.

[randyisnot]

@ezekieloak Flood was the first CD I have ever purchased. I have been to EVERY live performance in SoCal since '89. I have memorized every lyric to every song (even podcasts). J&J have brought me up through more of my adolescence than my own father. That said, Post-Apollo has been a ripoff. Severe Tire Damage stole from loyal listeners. Factory Showroom had nothing but Dial-a-song's and B-sides. Every complete album since contains a myriad of songs that I am confident most people skip on players

[randyisnot]

@ezekieloak so drink the kool-aid and think that their best is ahead of them. I love these guys and will buy every album unconditionally. But iterating that mine is a comment 'fail' (when every fan of TMBG knows their favorite band's best album is behind them) on a completely insignificant song (seriously....Women and Men is where you make your stand?) posting on Youtube just makes my Monday so sweetly sweet.

[klarebear12]

TMBG's Flood was the soundtrack to my childhood. I now listen to these songs and they bring back fond memories. Thanks TMBG!

[neverfit]

CLEVER LYRICS!

[srgtfrog]

@neverfit that's TMBG for you.

[DillynWinn]

This song isn't their best by a long shot.

[Case1138]

TMBG Pwns!!!

[tristanthem]

I love this song it's inspirational :D

[tonykowalski29]

music that simply puts you in a better mood lol

[poshknacker]

the olympia 1990 dublin. 20 years ago, does that mean im wise now?

[ericrocksabeard]

this song is so homophobic! lol jk.

[seeligsilence]

i remember when Flood came out, 1990 i think, i was working in a chicken killing factory....this album, changed a lot fo things for me, now, 19 years later.....i am the Managing Director of a huge multi national, so......music seriously does change lives, period :)

[lnsineratehymn]

Haha, cool.

I found TMBG after browsing around iTunes, looking for music.

I listened to this album every day on the bus ride to school. :)

[Wilsmyth]

i dont know who i feel more poorly for the chickens, or the multi-nationals.

[seeligsilence]

feel sorry for the chickens, they cant defend themselves now :)

[adsicks]

@seeligsilence After they read my Chicken Manifesto they will violently revolt against their coups...it will be a coup de coup.

[filorps]

ROTFL

Its not like you applied yourself or anything...

[seeligsilence]

Hee hee, true.....the music set me on my way, whoo hoo :)

[Xelorans]

That is a beautiful story

*cries*

[TheJinwhang]

@seeligsilence yh, I was 19 when flood came out, I had a lot of up and downs since then , but life always gets better if you're open to a, and I'm only gonna say this once, a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE, Life's definately better at 39 years, but Flood has always been there when I wanted a bit of fun ! Well TMBG - You will always be class :)

[Danman429]

@seeligsilence D: that job sounds absolutely evil! if i worked there i probably woulda destroyed the place from the inside

[darkswim14]

@seeligsilence When this album came out I listened to it over and over all day every day for close to a year. Its one of the most unique, clever and talentful albums ever. If you were not a "follower" this album would inspire you and support you in your own individuality!!

[seeligsilence]

@darkswim14 .........amen to that, i read your words and smiled, nodding my head in agreement! :)

[M155Grey]

rofl

definitely the best song ever.

[ruphia]

This song is concentrated goodness.

[ezekieloak]

Best song ever. Joo. Paras.

[11Jamie11]

You wouldn't think it was possible to pack this much win into such a simple little goofy song, but voila.

[EthanSurbaugh]

damn I havent heard this song in a good 10 years! I still remember it! and it still rocks!!

[KINGKURT14]

one of the best songs of the TMBG, though quite unkown.

lyrics and music go perfectly together.

[doggydude10]

please saphire bullets of pure love i like that song!

[damocronulla]

i sing this when i,m om my boat,discovering new continents.

[Julian9ehp]

"Oh my America, my new found land!" ;-)

[AfromanJon]

Truly and honestly, this song just restored my faith in humanity... thank you.

[piasladic]

This song helped make me a whole and happy person.

lp

[BlooddancerLegion]

Same here. Helped me be jovial and optimistic about my future with women, which has worked out great after all.

[davidhenning]

Yes, one of the best songs ever. But, I think, if Women and Men had a fight with "Birdhouse in Your Soul" that Birdhouse would win. That's just my opinion....

[THEmuteKi]

Triangle man could take them both on.

Triangle man is freaking badass. Seriously.

[nnoose]

particle man is better

[shanez1313]

Well, unfortunately, Particle Man had to accept defeat form this triangular-shaped adversary.

[HeyImBubProductions]

@shanez1313 triangle man is a fucking douche!

[Arctophile2000]

i love this song! why isn't it better known?

[Keeheek]

i'm going to have this song played at my fucking wedding.

[shadowfan36]

I know how to make Wolf Link from Twilight Princess howl to this! A howl-along! Who knew? :)

[GeneralZaroff]

I'd like to see that

[AfromanJon]

That is the best thing that I have heard EVER!

[northkorea1]

i don't know what you just said, but if it has anything to do with this song, it must be FUCKING AWESOME!

[flaminJesscake]

i LOVE this song!!

[simplystatic]

AHH i love this song

<3333

[huh22222]

top ten songs ever t.m.b.g. is incredible again and again

[mpw00]

I just found my cassette tape of this album. I had forgot about all the cool songs on it. Great album. Right up there with another of theirs, Apollo 18.

[HyuugaHinata131]

Omg, I love this song. XD I actually bought this CD at a thrift store.
