When you play this song for your friends and they don't get it, they now understand everything they need to know about They Might Be Giants.

[@Retrofanatic10]

I just imagine cows swimming with scuba gear and living on an undersea farm.

[@keewee7473]

Chris Holderr lol my friend at school thought the same

[@SisterToSleepx]

I actually used this song to train myself out of some anxiety problems I had been having. Like, for real.

[@010ebutuoy010]

If it's not to personal to ask, I'm curious to hear further details on this!

[@galerius07]

Singing is a good way to push through anxiety!

[@ShaneJung]

This comment is epic lol

[@DashSpaceski]

Yes they were my cure aswell. ❤

[@OingoLove]

How?

[@galerius07]

I listened to this song at work on a continuous loop for two days in a row

[@TheRockybulwinkle]

Did you experience any side effects?

[@wram95]

I've been listening to They Might Be Giants for basically my entire life, but I somehow managed to avoid listening to this song (and basically most of the songs on Lincoln) until recently. And wow, I've been missing out. What a delightful song. It's weird and kind of eerie in the best way.

[@daniyeg2]

for anyone that's coming back for this gem, the 2:00 mark is Guy Williams screen test for Lost In Space

[@naate2]

That also happens at 1:24 in lie still little bottle

[@HanginWithSnakes]

I would play this in high school all the time in the band hall. No wonder I didn't have any friends back then...

[@jamesmichaelsimmons]

A song about life, mortality, evolution and the resultant sadness of higher consciousness. Classic.

[@thedawgfatha8137]

My home town is- or was, before the real estate investors got to it in the 90s- lovingly referred to as Cow Town by the locals, on account of all the farms and the fact that the name of the town kinda sounded like cowtown, so this song holds a really special place in my heart.

[@living_1daat]

1:59 that freaked me out

[@chiggenfinger7264]

Ok

[@zinniaz05]

Like why is it even in there 😂

[@klpliper]

portal radio moment

[@ascendedisamazing]

Had this on while getting work on my teeth done, the dentist's office staff asked what I was listening to, I unplugged me earbuds and they liked it so much one of them started dancing (obviously neither of them were handling my teeth at the time)

[@jessicaoctostar3391]

They might not actually be giants. Nobody really knows

[@Chicagocanine]

+Jessica OctoStar They might be giants. They might be fake. They might be lies. They might be big big fake fake lies.

[@EnergyKnife]

But what're we gonna do unless they are?

[@funkmike]

They might be something else in the snow.

[@SomeFreakingCactus]

They might be brain, They might be washed, They might be Dr. Spock's back-up baaaaand.

[@SK-le1gm]

Look into the Tartarian Empire.

[@AdventureJim1969]

This song has me imagining a manatee painted like a holstein cow.

[@greaseitandsqueezeit]

with neutral bouyancy and chewing on some seaweed

[@singlesideman]

I cannot tell you how much I still love this, in the background of my everyday, since 1988...

[@vin-cc9nk]

I wish I was chilling with my cow friends beneath the ocean rn

[@lorelaim3294]

The background noises in this song sound like Tina Belcher.

[@luv24real]

Great melodies, good harmonies, a pretty fun band.

[@annamatic85]

My first solo apartment after moving out of the student co-op after graduating college had a landline with an answering machine message up until "cow beneath the sea" and then the beep to leave a message. No explanation. Just cowtown. Ps I'm from Wichita KS which is often called Cowtown. Not where I went to college but another cool gem

[@allenhernandez3350]

Jamming out to this while chugging through blighttown in Dark Souls

[@stapler942]

I think of this song every time I see this store called Cowtown in my city. They sell pet supplies and horse saddles and stuff. 🤣

[@thesparechild2099]

my dad used to play this in the car when we went driving. Been awhile sense I last heard this.

[@jerricamartinez10]

Just got a wine from ClubW and it's called Cowtown. I've been singing this song all day.

[@mmmMatto]

I revisited this song recently after hearing their hometown is nicknamed cowtown. In my interpretation this song is about searching for the meaning of life.

[@snoojie]

I used it as my yearbook quote. :-)

[@jaemsyt]

Behold the cow and rejoice!

[@DoitForTheLolz1]

I've always wondered if this song had anything to do with Calgary, Canada. Cowtown is its nickname.

[@Turtle152]

The Johns trade vocals on this, I wonder if each wrote his own lyrics.

[@jd881]

When this came out I listen until the cassette stopped working, or at least until Nothing's Shocking came out.

[@reaganwiles_art]

Art music for real doh, of the best kind. Moving, mesteriously so!

[@nullnomore9837]

Here because of a true story about orcas preying on cattle on an Alaskan island. I have learned about two wonderful things today.

[@skuzzbunny]

Woah, y'all see that!?!?!o

[@Mepressed]

I thought it was a sad song about a person returning to the old homestead, only to contemplate suicide by drowning. I may have been enduring a coffee crash at the time.

[@realitycheck4158]

It happens

[@Eyepocampix]

I will never admit that this song is a banger

[@Eyepocampix]

Although I guess I did right now 😔

[@dennispeel3937]

Cool as heck

[@Fetherko]

Did Taylor Swift ever give us sea shanties? I don't think so.

[@DashSpaceski]

Sang this everyday in Primary school. Yeah I was a loner.

[@pwobeatles509]

2:00 what

[@markwyman6753]

A cover art of two clocks set on 13's, 5 to 8.

[@PigeonFodder]

I never noticed that!

[@probablyahuman1]

damn I wish I could go back to the precambrian era too

[@thetorto-isepresents6607]

2:00 You guys saw that too, right?

[@tombias9489]

I find this song very soothing, chill and relaxing and TOO SHORT BY HOURS! How do you get this thing to play continuously? where's that button thingy. I thought it was a song about going to Florida. I hear going to Florida and raging down the streets of Dublin singing about it is very popular amongst Australian youths.

[@tombias9489]

Playing clarinet, at that!

[@benopolylikeaboss9739]

Singing along at the top of your voice is soo fun

[@tombias9489]

+benopolylikeaboss Yes, and I do too and I encourage everyone around me to do so as well.

[@TheEndlessMyke]

Most of their songs have this effect. Just pull them up on spotify and let er rip.

[@Naomi1220]

This sounds like it could be on Spongebob! The cows they are talking about are manatees after all not farm cows.

[@audamix672]

They might be giants actually did do the spongebob music

[@EuphoniaPooch]

Weirdness turned to 11 on this one

[@guccigangnahfamiminthesacr1358]

2:00 to 2:01 wtf

[@Schmuckubus]

Whose mans is this

[@Purgamentum]

That's Guy Williams in his original screen test for Lost in Space; you can find it on KZbin with the title, "Guy Williams - Orginal Screen Test ", 3:43 for the exact moment. No idea why it's in this video for a brief moment though

[@Unknown-do3oi]

When I first watched this I wasn't expecting the random dude and the image just flashed on the screen and I was so scared for a second.

[@LambLiesDownOnBroadway]

Reminds me of Oingo Boingo sometimes.

[@jdreed68]

Cowtown is in Pilesgrove. Google it.

[@greaseitandsqueezeit]

I refuse to.

[@jdreed68]

@@greaseitandsqueezeit ok, don't. You'll just have to trust my word.

[@reidflemingworldstoughestm1394]

Cowtown

[@yvonnekennedy2377]

Sounds Stewie and Brian Griffin

[@bogusthompson]

Who's that guy at 1:59?

[@jaded151]

That's a question millions have asked, though no one truly knows who.

[@beastinthesky6774]

Guy Williams, screen test for Lost In Space.

[@darling_danke_schoen]

Zero pretentions. 100% nerd

[@lolashumow9501]
