Musical Stores

From This Might Be A Wiki

An oddly recurring theme in They Might Be Giants' songs, these songs mention or are about stores that, oddly enough, allow their patrons to play music, dance, or anything else musical that you normally don't do in a store.

[edit] Central theme

  • A Self Called Nowhere - "I'm sitting on the curb / Of the empty parking lot / At the store where they let me play the organ"
  • Man, It's So Loud In Here - "They fixed up the corner store like it was a nightclub / It's permanently disco"

[edit] Briefly mentioned

  • Damn Good Times - "As she leaves the store / All of the people applaud"
  • Flying V - "In the window of a music store"
