They Might Be Giants DVDS and CDS

Posted by Jennifer White Feb 29, 2008

My husband is likely one of the biggest They Might Be Giants fans that there is. He owns every album. He has their posters. He has their clothing. He has their posters. He follows the bands news like an over-excited puppy chases his own tail. What can I say, my husband is a bit of a geek.

His passion for the Indie-rock band is being passed on to our children through the children's albums and companion videos of Here Come the ABCs and Here come the 123s. The music is absolutely infectious and thought-provoking. I must admit it has been a very liberating choice over the silly and annoying lyrics that stick in my head of other popular children's bands. Not to mention the lack of ridiculous costumes.

My girls.... Well, they adore the music. Currently the favorites are "The Number Two" and "Triops Has Three Eyes." Evidently those songs are sung best a capella while jumping on my mom's bed while she is trying to make it. I suppose perhaps those factors somehow improve the acoustics or something like that.

So despite my geeky husbands passion, I must admit he's made a great call. John & John certainly make educational children's music appealing to adults as well. These two DVDS/CDS should be in every family collection.
