They Might Be Giants Lyrics
They might be giants
They might be rain
They might be heat
They might be frying up a stalk of wheat
They might be brain
They might be washed
They might be Dr. Spock's back-up band
Tabloid footprints in your hair
Tabloid footprints everywhere
We can't be silent
because they might be giants
and what are we going to do unless they are
They might be giants
They might be bald
They might be snow
They might be fake
They might be lies
They might be big, big, fake, fake lies
They might be rain
They might be heat
They might be frying up a stalk of wheat
They might be brain
They might be washed
They might be Dr. Spock's back-up band
Tabloid footprints everywhere
We can't be silent
because they might be giants
and what are we going to do unless they are
They might be bald
They might be snow
They might be fake
They might be lies
They might be big, big, fake, fake lies

I more or less directly quote the following from the movie where they got their name from, but "don quixote's problem was that he thought that all windmills were giants. that's insane!" thus... they might be giants.
as for dr. spock's back up band... hey, the man's released more musical cds than the beatles.
Is that Brent Spiner in that song? The "hang on tight" and "boy" parts, I mean.
I thought it was Alan Alda that says those things but I might be wrong. Very catchy lil tune.
the director of mash?
the director of mash?
This band is a cult in the camp I used to go to...an older friend the first year had another (chinese) friend of ours write in Chinese on her arm, "They could be really big people" (He didn't know the chinese letter for giants... ;) ) Anyway, I love this band, and I love this song.
yup
I reckon it's about politicians and how, after an election we wonder how they are going to act, run the country to their standards or ours? Meh, I'm staring through probably naive eyes here.
