Dates for Dial-A-Song tracks are best guesses from TMBW. Some clips have been further edited for timing/content to highlight relevant parts of songs.

The years I’ve specified for these songs are typically when the song was first released by the relevant performer.

Non-TMBG clips I’ve included in this video are meant to represent the most well-known version of each song (that the Johns were more likely to have been exposed to), and I’ve noted the original writers of each included song in the end credits. Many of these references will likely never be confirmed by TMBG, but I’ve tried including ones that feel intentional.

This project has been a few months in the making, and I hope you enjoy and discover some great music to listen to! Thanks to the research of hundreds of fans on for making this project possible, as well as the great work by projects like the Don’t Let’s Start Podcast.

This is my attempt to document all of the musical/lyrical/poetic references and samples in released They Might Be Giants & solo project songs.
