Doris: We're back in the studio, and I'm Doris Cunningham with They Might Be Giants; John Flansburgh and John Linnell. Johns, a friend of mine, Eleanor Summers, from the A. P. Wire Service, told me you two live like pigs. Is this true? Flansburgh: [laugh/cry] It's funny you say that, 'cause a lot of people have said the same thing, and– [laugh/cry] I– I guess it's true. [laugh/cry] It's funny you say that, 'cause a lot of people have said the same thing, and I– uh, yeah, that's true. Doris: John and John, I know you're sitting on the cutting edge of the music world; tell us what you think of some of the bands coming out of England. Linnell: Yeah, we're into, uh, Kinks... Flansburgh: Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, right? Linnell: Frankie, Spandau Ballet... Flansburgh: U2, Everything but the Girl... Linnell: Mhm. Howard Jennings... Flansburgh: All the- all the English bands; Paul Young, Wham!; George Michael was an incredible guitar player, and really has a strong influence. Flansburgh: Oh yeah. Linnell: Thomas Dolby, of course. Flansburgh: Nick Howard, Sting, um... Linnell: Dead or Alive... Flansburgh: Oh, incredible records, I mean, the songs are so powerful. Linnell: I– I think England is– is where it's– it's happening. Flansburgh: I think it's all really gonna start for us in England. Linnell: Mm. Wow.

What do you think of that? Both Johns: Oooooohhhhhwwwhoahhhhooooohhhh. Heavy, heavy. Doris: You sometimes think about wearing long, long hair. Is that a statement? Doris: I think you have another song for us. Would you like to perform it? (Dink oo dink oo dink) What's the name of the song? (Dink oo dink oo dink) Oh, I think I know that one! Great, great.
