From This Might Be A Wiki

Hello, welcome knowledgeable ones. This is a page for smart TMBG fans. What you do is post a question, and other users will hopefully post the correct answers. The answers are supposed to come from memory, NOT the Wiki! (that would be cheating!) Have fun. Mr.klaw

Question 1[edit]

Name a TMBG song that has the word "bug" in it. -Mr.klaw 22:09, 3 September 2006 (EST)

And by the way, here's another page an the wiki to challenge your knowledge of TMBG songs: Guess The Mix.
