Trivia/Info
- Created by They Might Be Giants as the theme for the adult animated sitcom The Oblongs, which began on The WB in 2001 and ended on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup in 2002, running for one season.
- According to John Flansburgh, the theme was completely instrumental until about a week before the show was scheduled to broadcast.
- At least two other bands, Sparks and Ween also submitted potential theme songs for the show. Sparks later released their rejected theme, "The Oblongs", as a CD bonus track.[1] Ween's attempt was eventually released under the name "Shwartze Pete" as a Dean Ween solo track.[2]
