I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

The yellow Roosevelt Avenue leaf overturned
The ardor of arborreality is an adventure we have spurned
We've spurned a new leaf overturned
It's a new leaf overturned

And so I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

We yearn to swim for home but our only home is bone
How sleepless is the egg knowing that which throws the stone
Foresees the bone, the bone, our only home is bone
Our only home is bone

And so I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

Yes, I'm going down to Cowtown, the cow's a friend to me
Lives beneath the ocean and that's where I will be
Beneath the waves, the waves, and that's where I will be
I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

Yes, I'm gonna see the cow beneath the sea

Another request for Ana Ng.  I only have it on casette somewhere, and we all know how useful they are anymore.
Yes! Yes! Yes!  More TMBG please! 

I'm particularly fond of this album and Flood.  "I've Got a Match" and "Ana Ng" are two favorites off this album.

It should remind you of that, since it's one of the samples in the song.  

I dig these guys, they have a sense of humor that's seriously lacking in music today.  I was surprised to hear this particular tune on RP.  Nice!  

We need "For All The Cows" by Foo Fighters after this one (although that might be too "hard" for Bill).   

EDIT: Dana Lyons' "Cows With Guns" came on next.  COW BLOCK!

Awesome.
Outstanding!
O.M.G... NO WAY!!!! This brings me back, and I wish there were a rating that meant FUNTOWN

Hey Wolf, maybe you need to consider the whole oeuvre(sp?) of this group before judging. They are so inventive and funny. Please give them another chance....

No, you want noise, listen to Merzbow. This isn't noise, it's just sophomoric elementary school marching music.
Have I crossed into a parallel universe where noise somehow translates into music? This is the worst piece of crap I have ever heard. Have I made myself clear?
How odd... of all the great TMBG songs out there, you pick this one?
One of the greatest groups in history, and the song is not one of the usual! I love it!
TMBG is simply too fun for anyone to dislike. Thanks, Bill!!
Yes! yes! More TMBG!

Abso-freaking-lutely.
There's always room for They Might Be Giants.
HooRAY! RP should play more TMBG!

Good choices. I think we could use some more TMBG here.
Strangely enough I think we have been hearing quite a bit of TMBG in the last few days... not that I don't like it, but it is weird.
Great four-fer! 5:05 pm - They Might Be Giants - Cowtown 5:00 pm - Dana Lyons - Cows With Guns 4:57 pm - Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns And Money 4:51 pm - Ry Cooder - The Very Thing That Makes You Rich
Sorry, not in the mood for cow songs right now....

Okay, it is now time for Ana Ng, followed by Birdhouse in your Soul. Come on... we've broken the TMBG barrier! Keep them coming!

You know, sea cows.
My 6-year-old loves this and many other TMBG songs. I always thought they should do a kids' album. Then I found out they did. And ironically, it seems like my little girl prefers the non-kid songs.
LOVE IT!!!!
Okay, it is now time for Ana Ng, followed by Birdhouse in your Soul. Come on... we've broken the TMBG barrier! Keep them coming! You know, I love how BIll sets up these playlists. Dana Lyons - Cows with Guns came on right afterwards. Absoutely marvellous!!! A good 10 minutes of laughing for me! If you haven't donated, good god, this guy deserves it from you. Thanks Bill!!!!
guess you have to have it all....but can't we have it all-TMBG?
Wonderful song! The irony of TMBG is that have a song about a guy who only had 2 good songs in him, and he just wrote #3. Likewise, TMBG just had 3 good albums in them, but they keep making more.
aaaaah yes this is....Radio Paradise! I almost cried when I heard this. I agree ... please play MORE TMBG!
"I'm going to see the cow beneath the sea" ... ?!
:gasp:! My ears just fell off. Thank you Bill! I agree: please play more They Might Be Giants.
