The Greatest

from I Like Fun by They Might Be Giants

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Limited edition 180g pressing on clear with black wisp vinyl!

    Why is the world in love again? They Might Be Giants have released I Like Fun, a remarkable 15-track album.

    I Like Fun jumps with surprises, vitality, and the startling point of view of these Brooklyn originals. Over a year in the making, songwriters and band founders John Linnell and John Flansburgh draw on themes of dread, death, and disappointment and set them to their driving, hyper-melodic music. The results will leave even the most heavy-hearted among us with a renewed sense of wonder. Fresh and sonically adventurous, the band’s command of the studio and the song is in rare form from beginning to end.

    On I Like Fun, the spotlight is also on the band’s formidable long-standing live lineup; drummer Marty Beller, bassist Danny Weinkauf and lead guitarist Dan Miller. While the group enjoys a reputation for delivering one of the liveliest shows around, the album accomplishes the rare feat of capturing that ecstatic intensity on disc. Co-produced with and mixed by Patrick Dillett (St. Vincent, Donald Fagen, The National, Mary J. Blige), the album was tracked and mixed at the brand-new Reservoir Studios—site of the legendary Skyline Studios where TMBG recorded their platinum-selling album Flood.

    All orders include an instant download of the album delivered to your inbox.

lyrics

They call me the greatest
'Cause I'm not very good
And they're being sarcastic
They're being sarcastic
Oh, I'm taking names
But I'm not doing much
With the names that I'm taking
G-O-A-T
They're being sarcastic
They're being sarcastic
They call me the greatest
But those cheers can be quiet
So I listen close
I listen close
Yes I'm taking notes
But those notes aren't helping
The ink washes away
G-O-A-T
It washes away
It washes away
