Catching up with
They Might Be Giants'







John F. here. Dial-A-Song is here! Since January until the beginning of August TMBG have been posting a new song on our Dial-A-Song service every week. We are currently organizing for September and beyond, as well as working on our badminton skills in our secret mountain laboratory. So what better moment than now to quickly review all that is already brand new and free for all to enjoy? Let’s get started.


First off, there is the traditional “telephony” version. People love this because it sounds so good! Just call toll free at (844) 387-6962 and enjoy They Might Be Giants' music wherever you are.

Then, for sophisticates, there is the website www.DialASong.com and the beautiful and free Dial-A-Song app. It really works on all smart phones, sounds great, and will dazzle even your grumpiest friends.
Why not get it? And why not tell them how to get it too by forwarding them this email?

You might recognize the art style of the TMBG app from videos of ours, like Why Does the Sun Shine? and With the Dark. Both of those were created by Hine Mizushima. She is an amazing artist. She even has projects on etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hine

But here is a little sneak peek of the ALL EMBROIDERED animated project she has coming up for us… we’ll let you figure out the song!







But how can anyone really catch up with something unless there are awards?
