TMBG: "Electric Car, The New Machine"

They Might Be Giants' new kid's album "Here Comes Science" features this catchy, pro-EV ditty.

I'm not a parent, but I'll admit I'm digging this...

Thank you for posting this. I haven't heard any TMBG in years and had no idea that they were doing kids stuff. I just pre-ordered the disc...

for, um...

You *must* get "Here Come the ABCs" and "Here Come the 123s" as well. They are amazingly good. You do not need to have kids to enjoy them, though it helps.

For that matter, their most recent non-kids disc taught my daughter about the Mesopotamians and what "contracoup" and "limerent" mean. Very educational.

Environmentalism needs more of this. Circumvent politics and partisanship by making great lo-fi music videos to win the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Wow, dude. I was such a TMBG freak in high school (years ago). So great to see they are doing this cool stuff. Very respectable, and good-sounding as well.

I love this. True artists, these guys.
