Cave Fish

From This Might Be A Wiki

You must be thinking of some other band...

This song was made available exclusively to members of the They Might Be Giants Instant Fan Club.
Information about some IFC material was originally unavailable on TMBW, but due to the availability of details about these projects elsewhere online, we have decided to catalog them in the spirit of remaining an accurate and complete TMBG knowledge base. Per the IFC oath, distributing or requesting IFC-exclusive content is still prohibited.

Trivia/Info

  • Originally a contender for Join Us alongside "Repo Day", both songs were mentioned by Flansburgh to be "slightly too close to other tracks and other vibes" on the album.
  • A digital version of this song was first made available to members of the 2024 Instant Fan Club as a weekly download paired with "Monsters Of Mud." Prior to this, the song was only available on vinyl.
  • This song was the inspiration for the 2019 Cave Fish? EP by the Facebook group They Might Be Shitposting, based on a running gag in the group about the song's exclusivity. Each contribution to the release is a unique imagining of how the song may actually sound, as none of the artists involved had heard the song beforehand and only had the lyrics for reference.
