Title: The Corners of Your Mouth will Turn Up
Product review: When you listen to Flood (and really almost any CD by They Might be Giants), you can't help but feel happy. The lyrics are so abstract and silly that you will have to smile. But a cool thing about TMBG is that not all of their lyrics on Flood are pointless. When I listen to the chorus of "Whistling in the Dark" I feel comfortable in my own skin--because "there's only one thing that you know how to do well. And I've often been told that you only can do what I know how to do well. And that's be YOU, be what you're like, be like yourself." Then there are songs like Minimum Wage, We Want a Rock, and Someone Keeps Moving my Chair that are always good for a laugh. And of course the more popular songs Particle Man and Istanbul (not Constantinople) are really fun to listen to. Flood is a really fun and lighthearted CD. And anyone who enjoys very silly (though still intelligent) humor will love Flood.
