MADAM, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL
I am a man of honor and I am mortified
By your litany of slurs
Such a lot of words
Oh dear
Madam, I challenge you to a duel
My second warned you to be careful
That bell can’t be unrung
Madam, you mistake me for a bumpkin
It’s clear you’re yelling something
Oh, please don’t burst a lung
You are an unfit rival. By spirits taught to sing
But a tune so twisted now
Like all that’s sweet’s gone sour
Oh dear
Madam, you mistake me for a fool
Yes, your little dog may hold the pistols
Although he seems high strung
Madam, I challenge you to a duel
My second warned you to be careful
That bell can’t be unrung
Can’t be unrung
Can’t be unrung
Yes. DIAL-A-SONG IS BACK.
In 2015 They Might Be Giants will be presenting a new song each week, returning to our roots as the progenitors of the FREE MUSIC FOR EVERYBODY movement. Monday evenings the new Dial-A-Song recordings will premiere on Slate’s "The Gist" with Mike Pesca
. Tuesdays the song will be posted for your streaming pleasure via www.dialasong.com
and via TMBG's YouTube channel ParticleMen
(we encourage people to subscribe to our youtube channel and get notice of the postings straight away). The new songs will also be available through iTunes here and other fine online music purveyors.
