Talk:First Kiss

Is it just me, or is this version far, far, far supperior to the sappy adult-contemporary track with similar title and lyric that appeared on Mink Car? Imean, it's a decent song and all, and it's cool that They wanted to try something different, but I was seriously disapointed when I heard the Mink Car track, because I really like this version. But, as the song says, if it wasn't for disapointments, I wouldn't have any apointments. Tutt 14:45, 7 Oct 2005 (EDT)MasterChivo

I think you will find that is a completely different song that says that! However, I fully agree with you and I don't know why They changed it at all. It's okay, though! I really liked the instrumental bits on that version. -j2

Spot on. The definitive version. (Mr Tuck)

Mono Puff vs TMBG

Adding onto a two decades old conversation but I actually really like the Mink Car version, these both have their own merit. Now that I realize this version was developed for Mono Puff, it gives me a lot more insight. This is the Mono Puff version, a power pop-y anthem that's gonna stay in your ear for years. Another First Kiss is the They Might Be Giants version, slower with more thought and an arrangement that feels more in tune with what TMBG is. Obviously they're both "They Might Be Giants songs," but I think they both come from different places in their song writing. They both feel like products of their time and work well on the records that they're featured on. That being said, it would've been cool to see a studio version of this arrangement. (Would have also been cool to see a studio version of They Got Lost (Live STD))--Robot Parade (talk) 18:22, 31 July 2024 (EDT)
