The "car" is a guitar case that hits the speaker in the head (and kills him?) The music in this song is better than the lyrics, IMO. But that doesnt mean the lyrics suck, it only means the music is well orchestrated. |

| They Might Be Giants – Man, It's So Loud in Here Lyrics | 24 years ago |
|
I hate pretentious interpretations that don’t allow any flexibility in musical poetry, but I am looking forward to hearing someone’s opinion on this, close minded or no. My take on this (and I am probably off target) I get the imagery that the speaker lacks the courage to tell the listener that he loves her and keeps referring to distractions that don’t really exist to keep from putting his feelings out there. Comparing ordinary places to a night club and the chaos that goes in one allows form him to not speak, even though the speaker halfway has the courage to at least begin to say it “Baby, check this out I’ve got something to say” Other than that I like the song as a whole. Very “Pet Shop Boys” feel to it. |

| They Might Be Giants – Certain People I Could Name Lyrics | 24 years ago |
|
The voice is from a bitter and hurt person who watches TV and sees his broken heart in everything he sees on the box. This is a very sad song. TMBG have good "lovers lament" songs, though you never would know by them being call "quirky" all the time. I think they are brilliant writers. |
